L2 Acquisition of Conflation Classes of Prenominal Adjectival Participles.
Wang, Chuming; Lee, Thomas Hun-tak
Language Learning, v49 n1 p1-36 Mar 1999
Investigated how Chinese-speaking English-as-a-Second-Language (L2) learners developed second language (L2) knowledge of conflation classes of verbs in the formation of prenominal adjectival participles. Groups of L2 learners and native English speakers judged the acceptability of prenominal adjectival participles placed in four linguistic contexts. L2 learners displayed sensitivity to conflation classes governing the behavior of adjectival participles. (SM)
