- Abstract
- This study aims to explore the degree to which Korean L2 learners ofEnglish are able to establish grammatically mediated dependenciesbetween reflexive anaphors and their antecedents in English byexamining syntactic co-reference conditions. According to BindingPrinciple A (BP-A) (Chomsky 1981), both the locality and the c-commandcondition must be satisfied between reflexives and their antecedents. Toreveal late Korean learner's sensitivity to BP-A, this study conducted anon-line grammaticality judgements task and measured learner's accuracyrates and response times on sentences containing reflexives. We reportthat overall, learners are sensitive to the two conditions of BP-A, andsuggest that learners with high proficiency may ultimately attainnative-like knowledge of BP-A. We also suggest that L1-transfer/intereference may play a certain role in the process of acquiring BP-A byKorean learners.
