The Subject-Object Asymmetry in the Acquisition of Wh-Questions by Korean Learners of English.
Kim, Seongchan
Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, v3 p1-11 1999
Investigates whether there is any difference in the degree of difficulty between subject wh-questions and object wh-questions in the acquisition of wh-questions by Korean learners of English. Two experiments were conducted: a comprehension task and a production task. Results show the subject wh-questions are much easier for Korean learners than object wh-questions. (Author/VWL)
