Annotation

This inquiry explores whether Korean-English (K-E) bilingual children develop subject auxiliary inversion (SAI) in English wh-questions differently from monolingual English (M-E) speaking children. Specifically, an experimental study was drafted to define whether there is an effect of subject person in their acquisition of SAI in English wh-questions, a factor that had been proposed but not tested as a contributing factor in SAI in a prior inquiry.
