AB - Syntactic persistence is defined as a phenomenon that the structure tends to
be carried over to the next utterance. The purpose of this study is to
investigate syntactic persistence in first and second language speakers of
English. Forty university students participated and consisted of twenty English
L1 speakers of English and twenty L2 speakers of English with Korean as
their L1. The experimental paradigm involved repetition of an auditory
stimulus, followed by picture description. The target structures were transitive
alternate structures (active vs. passive). Overall, the effects of syntactic
persistence were found in English transitive structure. The results showed that
syntactic priming pattern was similar between English native speakers(L1) and
second language speakers of English (L2). This study contributes to further
universal accounts of syntactic persistence in language production theory. The
pedagogical implication that this study might have is that syntactic structure
might be learned inherently through exchanging utterances with native speaker
of English.
