The Status of "Be" in Developing Learner Language.
Hahn, Hye-ryeong
Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, v5 n2 p241-52 2001
Identifies the status of "be" based on Korean English-as-Foreign-Language learners' developing interlanguage grammars. Korean English learners' utterance data were analyzed, with a special focus on one middle school learner. Analyses from the perspectives of developmental process and head direction suggest that the early emerging "be" is not the head of IP. (Author/VWL)
