한국어 대인동사를 이용하여 동사에 숨은 인과율 효과를 검토하였다. 우리말 대인동사 1,000여개를 Rudolph와 Försterling(1997)의 준거에 따라 분류하고 네 가지 유형별 빈도를 검토한 예비연구 결과, 독일어 및 영어의 유형별 빈도와는 사뭇 다른 것으로 밝혀졌다. 대인동사로 묘사된 48가지 사건(예, 갑은 을을 칭찬했다)에 대해 각각의 발생 원인을 적어보라고 지시한 실험 1에서는, 경험-자극 상태동사나 주체-유발체 행위동사로 묘사된 사건의 원인은 주로 동사의 목적어에 그리고 주체-객체 행위동사로 묘사된 사건의 원인은 대개 동사의 주어에 있다고 판단하는 편파성이 발견되었다. 한국어에서도 숨은 인과율 효과가 관찰된 것이다. 독해과제를 이용한 실험 2에서는 표적문장 내용이 앞 문장 속 대인동사에 숨은 인과율의 편파성과 일치 또는 불일치하는 조건의 표적문장 읽기시간을 비교하였다. 일치조건의 읽기시간이 보다 짧은 것으로 드러났다. 동사에 숨은 인과율이 글 이해에 개입한다는 뜻이다. 실험 3은 실험 2의 결과가 여타 변인의 효과일 가능성이 배제시켰다. 동사에 숨은 인과율 효과가 글 이해에 관여하는 자연스런 인지과정을 반영한다는 증거를 확보된 것이다.
A normative study and 3 experiments were conducted to explore implicit causality of Korean interpersonal verbs. Following Rudolphn & Försterling's (1997) taxonomy, Preliminary study classified about 1050 Korean verbs into 4 types: agent-patient, agent-evocator, stimulus-experiencer, experiencer-stimulus. The frequency distribution of the Korean interpersonal verbs differed significantly from that of German verbs. Experiment 1 presented sentences like ‘Paul praised Ted.’ and asked subjects to provide the reason why might that event happen. The cause of the event described by either agent-evocator or experiencer -stimulus verb was biased toward the object of the sentence, while that of event described by agent -patient verb was biased toward the subject, showing implicit causality effects. Experiment 2 compared reading times for the 2 types of target sentences; one type had a meaning congruent with the verbal bias of the sentence presented immediately before the target sentence and the other had a meaning incongruent with that bias. Reading times for congruent sentences were shorter than those for incongruent sentences, indicating implicit causality of the verb automatically affected cognitive processes involved in text comprehension. Experiment 3 excluded the possibility that the implicit causality effects found in Experiment 2 only reflect the differences between the 2 types of target sentences. Theoretical and practical implications of the results were discussed.
