The purpose of this visual half-field study is to investigate the effect of ambiguity advantage effect and frequency effect on hemispheric functions that affect the semantic processing of an ambiguous eojeol, which is the basic unit of Korean sentences. As a result of the experiment, the ambiguity advantage effect and frequency effect appeared when the ambiguous eojeols was presented in the left visual field(right hemisphere). It is suggested that the activation of subordinate semantics of the ambiguous eojeol appears in the right hemisphere and the process of selecting appropriate meaning among the subordinate semantics of the ambiguous eojeol appear in the left hemisphere.
