A Study of Korean Learners' Acquisition of Interrogatives: Focused on the Full-Transfer Full-Access

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of native language and universal grammar on the acquisition of Korean interrogative sentences. To compare with the corpus of more speakers, we analyzed the corpus built by the Learner Corpus Sharing Center of the National Institute of the Korean Language and the ‘New Yonsei Corpus IV(nYsc4)’. First, we checked whether the use of interrogatives is influenced by the influence of the mother tongue by dividing them into languages that place interrogatives at the head of sentences and languages with free word order that place interrogatives at the head of non-sentences. The results showed that there was no difference in the distribution of interrogatives, and most learners preferred to use interrogatives before the subject. Since there was no difference between the language groups, we could not verify full transfer (FT). Next, to test for full access (FA), we checked whether advanced learners exhibited similar acquisition patterns to Korean morpheme speakers. Unlike the beginner-intermediate learners, the advanced learners preferred 'between subject and object' (B), similar to more speakers. This suggests that universal grammar played a role in the learning process, which supports the Full Access (FA) approach.
