Implication

Experiments explore referential interpretation in Korean, indicating roles of pronouns and noun phrases.

Key Points

  • This study examines how Korean speakers interpret pronouns and noun phrases by focusing on accessibility in discourse context.
  • Conducted three experiments manipulating accessibility of antecedents
  • Used naturalness ratings to evaluate referential interpretation
  • Performed antecedent choice tasks to assess preferences
  • Null pronouns showed the strongest bias toward subject antecedents and higher naturalness ratings
  • Overt pronouns and full NPs did not exhibit consistent interpretive biases
  • Full NPs were more associated with object antecedents, especially in ambiguous contexts
