Choi, Sungho & Lee, Miseon. 2016. Online Resolution of English NP/S Ambiguity in Korean Adult EFL Learners. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 41-1, 165-180. The present study investigated whether Korean adult EFL learners use verb-specific information when reading temporarily ambiguous sentences. In a self-paced reading task, we examined the effect of subcategorization bias of verbs on ambiguity resolution, using two types of biased verbs: S-biased verbs (e.g., The waiter insisted the reservation was made by a woman) and NP-biased verbs (e.g., The waiter confirmed the reservation was made by a woman). The reading times indicate that Korean EFL learners with high proficiency of English do not use verb bias information during online sentence processing. However, the results suggest that our participants’ insufficient experience with English, interacting with their L1 word order, may hinder their using the verb information in online processing.
