本研究考察了以丹麦语和西班牙语为母语的人和两组中级第二语言学习者(丹麦语西班牙语学习者和二语丹麦语西班牙语学习者)对置位动词意义的语义分类。参与者描述了31个描述不同类型安置活动的视频剪辑。聚类分析表明，丹麦语和西班牙语对这些事件的语义分类有很大差异，两组学习者的学习困难也很大。当丹麦语和西班牙语在语义区别的数量和性质上不同时，当从一个更复杂的系统转移到一个不那么复杂的系统时，第二语言动词的意义重构就变得具有挑战性，反之亦然。两组学习者都使用非致因运动动词，过度泛化给定的位置动词，并倾向于随意使用二语动词。
This study investigates sematic categorization of the meaning of placement verbs by Danish and Spanish native speakers and two groups of intermediate second language (L2) learners (Danish learners of L2 Spanish and Spanish learners of L2 Danish). Participants described 31 video clips picturing different types of placement events. Cluster analyses revealed considerable differences in the semantic categorization of these events in Danish and Spanish as well as learning difficulties for the two learner groups. When Danish and Spanish differ in the number and nature of semantic distinctions, L2 verb meaning reconstruction becomes challenging when moving from a more to a less complex system and vice versa. Both learner groups used noncaused motion verbs, overgeneralized given placement verbs, and tended to use L2 verbs haphazardly.
