| Abstract: | Parafoveal word processing was examined during Korean reading. Twenty-four native speakers of Korean read sentences in two
conditions while their eye movements were being monitored. The boundary paradigm (Rayner, 1975) was used to create a mismatch between characters displayed before and after an eye movement contingent display change. In
the first condition, the critical previews were correct case markers in terms of syntactic category (e.g., object marker for
an object noun) but with a phonologically incorrect form (e.g., using 를 instead of 을 when the preceding noun ends with a consonant).
In the second condition, incorrect case markers in terms of syntactic category were used, creating a semantic mismatch between
preview and target. Results include a small but significant parafovea-on-fovea effect on the preceding fixation, combined
with a large effect on late measures of target word reading when a syntactically incorrect preview was presented. These results
indicate that skilled Korean readers are quite sensitive to high-level linguistic information available in the parafovea. |
