초록

By adopting a usage based approach to language acquisition, this study investigate d the emergence and development of L2 constructiona l k n owledg e. A total of 19 English verb argument constructions (VACs) and their associ a t ed verbs were extracted from a learner corpus and three verbal fluency tasks, each conducted in L1 and L2 English and L1 Korean. We compared verb usage in the target V A C s acr oss proficiency levels between the L1 and L2 groups and between data types for VAC productivity and verb VAC associations. The r esults identified three stages through which Korean learners’ VAC knowledge develops in L2 English : emerging throug h the f r equ ent us e of a few general verbs expanding the range of verbs a ssociated wi t h a VAC to include more specific and prototypical verb t ypes and then developing them into a creative constructional schema. Moreover, we determined similariti es between L1 and L2 Eng lish VAC knowledge in higher L2 proficiency levels, as well as L1 Korean inf l u ences related to L1 typology and L1 collocational transfer.
