Object and Action Naming: A Study on Persian-Speaking Children
Objectives: Nouns and verbs are the central conceptual linguistic units of language acquisition in all human languages.

متن کاملSubject-Object Asymmetries in Korean Sentence Comprehension
The Entropy Reduction Hypothesis (Hale, 2006) derives the subject-object asymmetry in Korean relative clauses. This asymmetry has been observed by Kwon, Polinsky, and Kluender (2006), among others. Agreement between the Entropy Reduction predictions and the available empirical data suggests that the heightened comprehension difficulty attested in object-extracted relatives is due to distinctive...

متن کاملSubject/object processing asymmetries in Korean relative clauses: Evidence from ERP data.
Subject relative (SR) clauses have a reliable processing advantage in VO languages like English in which relative clauses (RCs) follow the head noun. The question is whether this is also routinely true of OV languages like Japanese and Korean, in which RCs precede the head noun. We conducted an event-related brain potential (ERP) study of Korean RCs to test whether the SR advantage manifests in...
متن کاملPre- vs. Post-verbal Asymmetries and the Syntax of Korean RDC
Among various important issues pertaining to the so-called right dislocated construction (RDC) in Korean are the basic word order and the grammatical relation the right dislocated (RDed) element assumes to the rest of the structure. In his series of papers, J.-S. Lee (2007a,b, 2008a, 2009a,b, 2010, 2011, 2012) proposes a mono-clausal analysis of Korean RDC, according to which the RDed element i...
