{ "pk": 49592, "title": "Korean monolingual children's comprehension of suffixal passive construction: A webcam eye-tracking study", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Building on Shin (2022), the present study examines how Korean monolingual children comprehend suffixal passive constructions by employing a webcam eye-tracking method, aiming to test two theoretical accounts of grammatical generalisation (gradual vs. early abstraction). Twenty-eight children aged three to six, alongside 20 adults, joined picture-selection experiments paired with eye-gaze measurements. The findings indicate that children's utilisation of passive-voice heuristics remains limited yet developing, overshadowed by well-entrenched active-voice knowledge. In particular, the eye-gaze data reveal processing challenges related to the passive voice, mainly interpretive difficulties arising from passive morphology. These results replicate those of Shin (2022), offering further support for a moderate version of each account that emphasises the pivotal role of linguistic exposure in mastering linguistic knowledge. From a methodological standpoint, this study enhances the accessibility of webcam eye-tracking research for understudied languages in the field.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Linguistics; Language acquisition; Language Comprehension; Syntax; Eye tracking" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/00z988nb", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Seongmin", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Mun", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Kyungpook National University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Gyu-Ho", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Shin", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Unversity of Illinois Chicago", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2025-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49592/galley/37554/download/" } ] }
