The Acquisition of the Stative Progressive for Korean English Learners

This paper attempts to investigate the language tendency of Korean English learners as regards the acquisition of stative progressive. The main motive of study lies in this discrepancy: Stative progressive has been considered a non grammatical expression with its aspectual properties although it is naturally used by English native speakers. This study explores the acquisition of stative progressive through three perspectives: Different groups of stative verb, aspectual coercion through time adverbials and three proficiency levels of Korean learners. The main findings of this study are as follows: (1) Korean English learners are more successful at marking progressive with action verb than stative verb. (2) They reveal different usage of stative progressive for different stative verb groups. (3) Aspectual operator such as time adverbial is an influential factor for usage of stative progressive. (4) Three different proficiency levels of Korean learners represent different perspective and usage of stative progressive. Different perspective of Korean and English for stative progressive and L1 transfer are supposed to be significant elements for these findings.
