Two experiments were performed to examine comprehension processes of Korean topic-marked noun phrases. Especially, we compared self-paced word-by-word reading times of the topic-marked sentences under the two different contexts (i.e., consistent and inconsistent) to investigate the contrast focus function of the topic marked NPs. In Experiment 1, reading times of embedded verbs were longer under the inconsistent contexts than those under the consistent contexts. In Experiment 2, however, reading times of the topic-marked NPs were longer under the consistent contexts than those under the inconsistent contexts. These results showed the psychological reality of the contrast focus function of Korean topic marker. It was suggested that semantic/pragmatic aspects of Korean topic-marked NPs might be processed immediately and be computed through two stages: reactivation and attachment.
