Overview

Experiment reveals stimulus role understanding in Korean psych-predicate constructions, indicating discourse effects.

Key Points

  • The research aims to explore how Korean speakers interpret null pronouns influenced by thematic roles.
  • Conducted a 2 × 2 self-paced reading experiment
  • Manipulated topic status and thematic role during the experiment
  • Investigated the role of the repeated name penalty in null pronoun interpretation
  • Immediate penalty predicted by the repeated name penalty did not appear
  • Effects were observed only after the psych-predicate
  • Experiencer reading bias and context-dependent revision were evident
