The Perception Aspects of ‘Substantives + Predicate’ Type Lexical Collocation: A Self-Paced Reading Study

This study aims to investigate the difference in the ‘substantives+predicate’ type of lexical collocation perception of Korean native speakers and highly proficient learners of Korean through a self-paced reading task. The study was performed on15 native speakers and 15 advanced learners with TOPIK level 6. This study analyzed the collected data and found three major perceptive differences. (ⅰ) Unlike native speakers, advanced learners have cognitive difficulties in lexical collocation; (ⅱ) advanced learners took a longer reaction time at window 4 than native speakers; (ⅲ) native speakers had significant differences between correct and incorrect sentences, whereas advanced learners did not. As a result, the study showed that learners’ perception of lexical collocation would be affected by both native language and target language.
