L2 Prediction Guided by Linguistic Experience

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Research suggests that prediction is important for language comprehension and learning. Accordingly, it becomes crucial to understand factors that can influence prediction. In this regard, speakers’ prior linguistic experience such as parsing bias has been claimed to affect prediction in the error-based learning account. To test this claim, the current study, using the visual world eye-tracking paradigm, investigated if L2 speakers’ anticipatory eye movements are influenced by their parsing bias, and if individuals’ parsing bias interacts with their working memory capacity and/or vocabulary size for the prediction. The results showed no main effect of the parsing bias on the prediction overall, and the parsing bias did not interact with the working memory capacity and/or the vocabulary size for the prediction. Importantly, however, the speakers’ parsing bias significantly interacted with the trials. The influence of the parsing bias over the course of this experiment suggests that L2 speakers’ prediction is guided by their recent experience with linguistic input as well as long-term linguistic experience.
