第一语言和第二语言习得的研究表明，当言语语素首次出现时，它们倾向于以非母语的方式标记方面的区别。本研究验证了这样一个假设：在二语习得过程中，言语语素最初标志着词汇方面——谓词语义固有的时间特征，与时间线无关，而不管它们在目的语中的功能如何。为了减少削弱先前研究的主观性，操作测试——需要将基本形式的动词短语插入到框架中，然后判断结果是否可接受——用于确定语料库中550多个动词标记中的每个动词的词汇方面，基于来自西班牙语母语者的中介语样本。卡方检验的结果允许拒绝零假设，即词法方面和词法是独立的。001置信水平。过去的标记被发现与准时有关，-ing与持续有关。
Studies of first and second language acquisition have indicated that when verbal morphemes first appear, they tend to mark aspectual distinctions in non-native-like ways. This study tested the hypothesis that in L2 acquisition, verbal morphemes initially mark lexical aspect—the temporal features inherent in the semantics of a predicate, independent of the time line—regardless of their function in the target language. To reduce the subjectivity that has weakened previous studies, operational tests—which entailed inserting a base-form verb phrase into a frame and then judging whether the result is acceptable—were used to determine lexical aspect for each of over 550 verb tokens in the corpus, based on an interlanguage sample from a native speaker of Spanish. The results of a chi-square test allow rejection of the null hypothesis—that lexical aspect and morphology are independent—at the .001 confidence level. Past marking was found to correlate with punctual aspect, -ing with durative.
