2025 Interactive roles of L1 properties and L2 textbook input for constructing L2 knowledge: Evidence from Korean subject−predicate honorific agreement ITL - International Journal of Applied Linguistics 176:2, pp. 184–218 | Article
This study investigates how morphosyntactic features of learners’ L1 (Czech; English) and characteristics of L2-textbook input jointly contribute to L2-Korean learners’ comprehension of Korean subject–predicate honorific agreement, focusing on the two mismatch conditions on the honorific status… 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

This study probes the initial stage of L2-Korean learning for adult English-speaking beginners of Korean to investigate input-output relations in the acquisition of L2… read more
2021 Automatic analysis of passive constructions in Korean: Written production by Mandarin-speaking learners of Korean Natural language processing for learner corpus research, Kyle, Kristopher (ed.), pp. 53–82 | Article
The present study aims to explore the applicability of automatic analysis to L2-Korean learner corpora, with a special focus on learners’ use of a clause-level construction. For this purpose, we investigate L1-Mandarin L2-Korean learners’ written production of two passive construction types in… 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
