Cho, Woo Young · Lee, Eun Kyeong & Lee, Hye-Young. “A Study of Korean Students’ pattern of Interpretation of English anaphors.” Studies in English Language & Literature 38.2 (2012): 289-318. This study aims to examine Korean learners’ pattern of the acquisition and development of English reflexives and pronouns as a second language. Also, the influence of lexical knowledge on the acquisition is studied. Sixty middle school students, aged from 14 to 16, participated in this experimental study. To investigate the influence of lexical knowledge, we informed the students of basic meaning of the verbs, structures of possessive construction and prepositional construction, and “pragmatic cues” in Wexler and Chien (1985). According to our study, Korean English learners often violated the principles governing reflexives and pronouns, namely, they mistreated pronouns as reflexives in pronoun-antecedent relations, as in L1 learners. However, they showed much improvement in the interpretation of reflexives and pronouns after attainment of lexical information. We explained the misinterpretation and the improvement as the influence of the processing preference and pragmatic considerations. Consequently, the findings of this study strongly support that the Lexical Learning Hypothesis of Wexler and Manzini(1984) can be applied in second language acquisition process.
