2026 Chapter 9. Assessing morphosyntactic complexity in child L2 learners of Korean: Exploring the roles of internal and external factors Acquisition of Korean: The state of the art, Choi, Soonja (ed.), pp. 292–321 | Chapter
This chapter investigates morphosyntactic complexity in child second language (L2) learners of Korean, examining the roles of internal and external factors. Korean’s rich morphology provides an ideal context for exploring how bilingual children develop grammatical skills. Sixty-eight bilingual… read more
2025 Second language acquisition of morphosyntactic and discourse functions of case markers in Korean Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 15:5, pp. 662–687 | Article
This study investigated the extent to which second language (L2) learners experience difficulties when integrating multiple sources of information at internal and external interfaces, and how their first language (L1) influences this integration process. Two groups of L2 Korean learners,… read more
2023 Constructional complexity as a predictor of Korean EFL learners’ writing proficiency Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics 36:2, pp. 436–466 | Article
Based on usage-based constructionist approaches to language development, this study investigates the validity of constructional complexity as a predictor of writing proficiency of Korean EFL learners. We analyzed argumentative essays produced by Korean EFL learners and compared a prediction… read more
2022 Effects of verb and construction frequency in sentence comprehension: The case of dative constructions in Korean Functions of Language 29:3, pp. 274–299 | Article
Two theoretical viewpoints provide different explanations about how people extract statistical regularities from input to assess the felicity of verb usage in a sentence. The lexical approach emphasizes the role of verb frequency in determining a verb’s distributional bias within a sentence,… read more
2022 Cross-linguistic influence in the second language processing of Korean morphological and syntactic causative constructions Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 12:5, pp. 687–713 | Article
This study investigated the effects of cross-linguistic influence in Japanese speakers’ integration of morphological and syntactic information during the processing of Korean transitive causative constructions. We examined whether Japanese speakers would process two types of Korean causative… read more
2021 Roles of verb and construction cues: Cross-language comparisons between English and Korean sentence comprehension Review of Cognitive Linguistics 19:2, pp. 332–362 | Article
This study investigates how speakers of English and Korean, two typologically distinct languages, derive information from a verb and a construction to achieve sentence comprehension. In a sentence-sorting task, we manipulated verb semantics (real versus nonce) in each language. The results… read more
