This study attempts to investigate how Korean-speaking children aged from 5 to 6 comprehend sentences containing –man ‘only’. From psycholinguistic perspectives, the comprehension of a sentence with -man is a process of determining what is in focus and the costly computation of a contrast set with regard to the focused constituent. The current experimental investigation into whether they are able to compute a contrast set provides off-line and on-line evidence of their pragmatic inferencing required for the correct interpretation of –man. In the Truth Value Judgment Task combined with DIY eye-tracking paradigm(Crain and Thornton, 1998; Shin, 2007), children’s responses to target sentences with –man attached to subject constituents or –man to object constituents are analyzed along with eye movements and fixations. The off-line result obtained shows that children correctly respond to sentences -man. And the on-line data provides more conclusive evidence that this correct interpretation of –man derives from the computation of contrast sets. There is a high proportion of eye fixations on subject-contrast sets for subject-focused sentences and object contrast sets for object-focused sentences. It indicates that children are adult-like in inferring the contrast information, which contributes to charting children’s processing mechanism of Korean focus particle –man.
