It has been reported that quantified expressions are interpreted differently depending on the scope interaction of a quantifier and a wh-phrase. For example, a subject wh-question type like ‘Who pulled everyone?’ only allows an individual interpretation, whereas an object wh-question type like ‘Who did everyone pull?’ allows both pair-list and individual interpretations. Previous studies on the acquisition of wh/every scope interaction show that English-speaking children aged 5 incorrectly gave or accepted pair-list answers to subject wh-question types. Based on an elicited production task, this study explored whether Korean-speaking children know the meaning of wh/every interaction. The results showed that Korean-speaking children overgeneralized the individual answers for object wh-question types which allow both types of answers. In addition, the children gave answers containing only characters’ names to individual answer type questions, and gave answers containing only objects’ names to object wh-question types. Accordingly, it was concluded that although Korean-speaking children could not give perfect answers, they clearly distinguished between individual answer type questions and pair-list answer type questions. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that Korean-speaking children have knowledge of wh/every interaction at an early age.
