A Study on the Korean past tense acquisition of L1 Chinese learners.

This cross-sectional study was designed to investigate the past tense ‘-eott-’ use of the L1 Chinese learners of Korean. Aspect Hypothesis(AH) predicts that the direction of development for past tense form to emerge with the achievement verbs, and then proceed to accomplishment, activity and statives(Andersen & Shirai, 1996). Due to the syntactic and semantic diversities of Korean verbs, another category of Aktionsart, psycho-cognitives has been newly added for the fine-grained study. The past tense use of the learners of Korean showed the difference from the native speakers of Korean in this study. The L1 Chinese learners used less past tense markers over the lexical aspects compared to their counterparts except achievement verbs. However, it has been shown that they might progress over time following the prediction of AH as in the previous studies when they are divided into three groups. The instrument used in this study was the cloze test task in that the learners were asked to fill in the gap by providing appropriate verb morphology with the verbs categorized into five lexical aspects.(Ewha Womans University)
