Eleven ESL learners in the U.S. and twenty EFL learners in Korea produced nine English vowels(/i/, /ɪ/, /ε/, /æ/, /α/, /ɔ/, /u/, /Λ/, /ɝ/) and eight Korean vowels(/i/, /e/, /ε/, /Щ/, /Λ/, /α/, /o/, /u/) embedded in words and F1 and F2 formant frequencies were measured. The ESL and EFL learners’ F1 and F2 of the English vowels were compared with female English speakers’ F1 and F2(Hillendbrand et al., 1995). Furthermore, the ESL learners’ F1 and F2 of Korean vowels were compared with the EFL learners’ F1 and F2. The results for the English vowels showed that the difference between Korean learners and native English speakers was more evident in F2 than in F1. The results for the Korean vowels demonstrated that the ESL learners were significantly different from the EFL learners for several vowels: F1 for /i/, /Щ/, /u/, and F2 for /Щ/ and /α/, thus showing variations depending on vowel properties.","PeriodicalId":475058,"journal":{"name":"Eon'eo wa eon'eohag","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135990290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various grammaticality judgment tests yielded the following results: First, the adult KSL learners of Korean performed significantly better than the child learners under various word orders. Conversely, under various Double Nominative Construction environments, it was the child learners who performed significantly better than the KSL speakers. Second, the KSL speakers showed significantly different results depending on certain verb types while the child learners did not. Overall, these results provide support for the view that KSL speakers are second language learners of Korean, not first language learners.","PeriodicalId":475058,"journal":{"name":"Eon'eo wa eon'eohag","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135989946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has also undergone grammaticalization to take on various extended meanings and grammatical functions. In this paper, I focus on one of the variants of pota, namely, cognitive pota, the meaning of which is close to ‘suppose’ or ‘consider’. Cognitive pota is similar to original pota in that it takes two arguments, while it also differs from the latter in that the internal argument must be a clause. Depending on whether the clausal complement is a full clause or a small clause, the pattern of case assignment to the NPs in the sentence changes. In particular, when cognitive pota takes a small clause, the subject of the small clause is assigned accusative case, while the verb in question cannot assign accusative case independently. Nevertheless, the availability of accusative case assigned to the small clause subject is determined by the properties of the main clause, making it a special type of ECM construction. I argue that the state of affairs can be straightforwardly captured by Marantz’s (1991) configurational case assignment system.","PeriodicalId":475058,"journal":{"name":"Eon'eo wa eon'eohag","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135990282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
