Kim, Chae-Eun; O'Grady, William; Deen, Kamil; Kim, Kitaek – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2017
This article shows that the Korean Extrinsic Plural Marker (EPM) may be acquired by children on the basis of very little evidence. The EPM marks distributivity, unlike the Instrinsic Plural Marker, which marks plurality. Thirty monolingual learners of Korean aged 5;03 to 6;09 (mean age 6;01) were tested using a series of Truth Value Judgment Tasks…
