The L2 Acquisition of Tense–Aspect Morphology
Editors
The present volume provides a cross-linguistic perspective on the development of tense-aspect in L2 acquisition. Data-based studies included in this volume deal with the analysis of a wide range of target languages: Chinese, English, Italian, French, Japanese, and Spanish. Theoretical frameworks used to evaluate the nature of the empirical evidence range from generative grammar to functional-typological linguistics. Several studies focus on the development of past tense markers, but other issues such as the acquisition of a future marker are also addressed. An introductory chapter outlines some theoretical and methodological issues that serves as relevant preliminary reading for most of the chapters included in this volume. Additionally, a preliminary chapter offers a substantive review of first language acquisition of tense-aspect morphology. The analysis of the various languages included in this volume significantly advances our understanding of this phenomenon, and will serve as an important basis for future research.

“This volume is a great contribution to the field of L2 acquisition of tense and aspect. The articles in this book cover a diverse range of topics from a variety of theoretical perspectives. Yet, the authors adhere to a common theme, and certain issues (e.g., the nature of the Aspect Hypothesis) come up in several of the papers.”
