Abstract

This study investigated the frequency effect in the noun eojeols(noun cluster) in Korean using eye-tracking. In Experiment 1, high-frequency nouns were read faster than low-frequency nouns in sentence context. In Experiment 2, the target eojeol consisted of the nouns in Experiment 1 with the genitive case. Similar to Experiment 1, a noun eojeol with a high-frequency noun was read faster than that with a low-frequency noun. We discussed that these results support Min and Lee's hypothesis (2005, 2007), which claims that a noun eojeol in Korean would be initially analyzed into a noun and a bound morpheme like a case marker, in that the first fixation duration and single fixation duration were shorter in an eojeol with a high-frequency noun than in that with a low-frequency noun.
