Kang, Seung-Man. “The Patterns of Coding English Sentences by Korean EFL Learners.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 40.1 (2015): 185-201. This paper briefly illustrates some basic properties of topic-prominent languages in the sense of Li & Thompson (1976), centering around the subject and the topic, and delves into some interesting aspects of how Korean EFL learners perceive English sentences in the topic-prominent language framework. Korean, as one of topic-prominent languages, is characterized to have a topic-comment information structure as opposed to a subject-predicate information structure in English. Accordingly, Korean EFL learners are shown to code English sentences based on this information structure. The topic-comment information structure reflects the survey results in which only an argument phrase is perceived as the subject of a sentence by most Korean EFL learners and is prominently topicalized if it is, in particular, in a canonical subject position.
