Park, Hyun-a. 2010. The L2 Acquisition of the Korean Double Nominative Construction by Chinese Speakers. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 35-3, 635-658. This study investigates the acquisition of the double nominative construction(=DNC) by Chinese learners of Korean. The goals are two-fold: first, we investigate whether L1-Chinese affects both in a positive and a negative ways the acquisition of the given construction in L2-Korean. Second, we show the preference of DNCs by native Korean speakers through additional experiments and the Sejong parsed corpus. 42 Chinese (12 beginners, 13 intermediate, and 17 advanced learners) were recruited in the two experiments: a) a grammaticality(=acceptability) judgment task, and b)a forced-choice elicitation task. 44 Korean native speakers also participated as a control group. Results indicate that L1 structural transfer effect was not observed clearly. Chinese learners showed quite a similar pattern with the native Korean speakers supporting Full Access Hypothesis (White 2003). It is suggested that Chinese learners are sensitive to L2 input, thereby being easy to access to Korean DNCs since Chinese belongs to topic-prominent languages like Korean. (Korea University)
