Abstract
The present study provides the results of a cross-sectional study of 60 Korean learners of English. In particular, the study reports the acquisition process in order to provide the relative influence of lexical aspect on the second language (L2) acquisition of English simple past. The analysis examines the degree to which the learners’ appropriate and inappropriate use of verbal morphology in English simple past contexts. The findings showed that learners, except for the advanced, were significantly more successful in using English simple past morphology with telics (accomplishments and achievements) than with atelics (states and activities). These findings are consistent with the predictions of the Aspect Hypothesis, and partially consistent with previous research with L2 learners of English from other L1 backgrounds. Lexical aspect, however, does not always influence the forms that competed for simple past. The base categories were favored as alternative response categories for low and intermediate learners across all lexical aspectual categories. For high-intermediate learners, the base categories were favored as alternative response categories for both states and activities. The paper also includes some discussion of the future pedagogical implications in classroom settings.
