The present study attempted to investigate the predictive power of learners` perception of grammar learning on their grammatical knowledge in case of Korean high school students It also compared such predictive power at differing levels of grammatical knowledge To this end, a total of 382 Korean high school students were asked to answer a questionnaire consisting of 37 Lik..

This paper examines the syntax of gapless right-dislocations in Korean I argue that gapless right-dislocation constructions are not uniform, but divided into two types specificational and repetitive right-dislocation I propose that specificational right-dislocation constructions are derived by rightward movement in a mono-clausal structure, whereas repetitive right-di..
One of the most important issues in syntax is whether so-called islands are universal or not This issue is important because the nature of Universal Grammar (UG), including the issue of whether it exists or not, partly depends on the (non-)existence of islands in every language The goal of this paper is to shed light on this issue by using a quantitative method Particular..
This study examines if speakers existing grammar can change after the speakers experience the input that does not match their linguistic knowledge, ie, the coerced input, on the assumption of the usage- based model Specifically, sentences that are composed of a ditransitive construction and main verbs requiring various degrees of coercion were created Korean speakers jud..
This study investigates why L2 learners differ in their success in learning their second language, by examining the correlation between learning ability in artificial grammar involving an adjacent dependency and ability in processing English number agreement Thirty-four Korean L2 learners of English completed two tasks an artificial grammar learning task and a self-pac..

This study investigates the dynamic aspects of laryngeal cooccurrence restrictions whose static aspects have been evaluated By examining word-initial tensification and adverbializer allomorphy in Korean, we show that a laryngeally marked feature tends to co-occur with the same features in word formations A tense consonant in the second syllable facilitates the tensificat..
