Implication

Examines cataphoric pronoun resolution in Korean, highlighting differences between offline and online processing methods.

Key Points

  • This research explores how cataphoric pronouns are resolved in Korean, focusing on cognitive mechanisms and accessibility-based constraints.
  • Utilized offline methods (questionnaire) and online methods (eye-tracking) to assess pronoun resolution.
  • Examined subject and object antecedent preferences for both null and overt pronouns.
  • Analyzed reading speed for sentences based on supportive context for antecedent interpretations.
  • Offline results confirm a subject antecedent preference, particularly for null pronouns.
  • Eye-tracking data reveal faster reading when sentences support a subject antecedent, regardless of pronoun type.
  • Both pronoun types exhibit similar strength in generalized subject bias during online comprehension.
