摘要: Languages vary considerably in how they represent motion. One major source of variation (Talmy, 2000) depends on whether linguistic systems lexicalize path the verb (verb-framed languages) or satellites (satellite-framed languages). This typological difference involves more than different types that it also affects elements outside verb. The current study is concerned with implications such properties for second language learning, specifically studying speakers a satellite-framed (English) acquiring verb-framed (French). We hypothesize differences between and target languages should present some difficulties to learners. For English learners French, an additional difficulty result from fact French not entirely consistent its patterning, allowing English-like lexicalization patterns cases, but others. requires discover nature regularities input presents them constrained variability.
