The development and use of the Spanish copula with adjectives by Korean-speaking learners
Kimberly L. Geeslin | Indiana University

The current investigation explores the development and use of the Spanish
copulas with adjectives by Korean-speaking learners. Twenty-three adult
university-level Korean-speaking learners of Spanish in South Korea completed
a sociolinguistic interview task, a background questionnaire, and a grammarbased
proficiency test. A variationist analysis identified the range of forms produced
in the [copula + adjective] (i.e., attributive) context, the frequency of use
of each form, and the relationship between frequency and other factors, both
linguistic and individual. Our findings show common patterns between Koreanspeaking
learners and the English-speaking learners in previous research but
also attest to distinct frequencies of use at earlier proficiency levels.
