Abstract

The present study discusses some of important issues in the word recognition such as the roles of the form(orthographic & phonologic) and semantic information by investigating the processes of Korean heteronym. The priming paradigm has been applied to see whether or not there would be facilitatory effect from form and/or semantic information. In experiment 1, orthographically-related or phonologically-related prime stimuli were presented and a lexical decision task for Korean heteronym was conducted. The same procedure was applied for the experiment 2, except the prime stimulus which was semantically-related. The results showed that orthographic and phonologic information did not influence the processing of the heteronym while semantic information facilitated its processing, suggesting that the semantic information plays an important role in the processes of the Korean heteronym.

본 연구에서는 중의어 중 한 가지 유형인 한국어 동철이음어의 처리 과정의 탐색을 통해 단어를 이해하는 과정에서 논쟁이 되고 있는 형태(표기 및 음운) 정보와 의미 정보의 영향을 알아보았다. 이를 위해 선행 자극이 먼저 제시되고 목표 자극이 이후에 제시되는 점화 과제를 사용하여 형태와 의미 정보의 촉진 효과를 확인해 보았다. 실험 1에서는 동철이음어의 표기 및 음운 정보와 관련된 자극을 점화 자극으로 제시하였고 실험 2에서는 의미와 관련된 자극을 점화 자극으로 제시하여 단어/비단어 여부를 판단하는 어휘판단과제를 실시하였다. 그 결과 형태 관련 정보는 유의미한 영향을 주지 않았으나 의미 관련 정보는 단어 여부 판단을 빠르게 하는 촉진 효과를 보여 주었다. 이러한 결과는 동철이음어 처리 과정에서 형태 관련 정보에 비해 의미 관련 정보의 영향이 중요하게 작용하고 있음을 시사한다.
