영문 초록

  This paper analyzes the East Asian (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) EFL learners’ overpassivization (OP) of the English ergative constructions (as in 1a) and transitivization of related intransitive verbs (as in 1b): 1 a. *What was happened yesterday? b. *He disappeared himself. Most EFL studies of individual languages (e.g., Masuko on Japanese; Chung on Korean) attribute the source of the errors mainly to the pragmatic factor, so called ADVERSITY PASSIVE. However, a close cross-linguistic investigation has shown that only the OP of event verbs is due to the adverse feelings common to the East Asian culture and that other types of OP and strange transitivization depend on L1-specific adverse feelings and whether intransitive verbs of concern can passivize in the L1.
