Lee, Eun Kyeong. “English Coordination Strategy as L2.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 42.3 (2016): 263-285. This paper sheds light on L2 acquisition in linking up coordination's identical categories. There are ten types of coordinations, featuring sentences, phrases, nouns or gapped constituents. Lust(1977) claims that two factors with conjunction structure and deletion directionality constrained children's performance on the elicited imitation task. Also, in Ardery(1980)'s comprehension test, four easy structures and six difficult structures are divided, as implies that seemingly simple coordination patterns are much easier to comprehend. He insists that the non-imitative production test's result was like the comprehension test's result despite the figures' difference. Accordingly, this paper hypothesizes three predictions; first, C test and NIP test are correlated with G scaling, second, there is the troublesome acquisition of gapping, and third, intransitivity shows a learning edge over transitivity. As a result, whereas the first hypothesis is partially accepted, the second and third are fully accepted. (Jeonju University)
