T1 The effects of telicity, dynamicity and punctuality in L2 acquisition of Spanish Preterit and Imperfect
A1 Quintana Hernández, Lucía
AB The aim of this work is to investigate the use of Spanish Preterit andImperfect by English speaking learners of L2 Spanish following the LexicalAspect Hypothesis (Andersen & Shirai, 1996; Díaz, Bel, & Bekiou, 2008;Domínguez, Tracy-Ventura, Arche, Mitchell, & Miles, 2013; González,2003, 2013; Montrul & Slabakova, 2002). The article studies how aspectualfeatures bias Preterit and Imperfect in initial, intermediate and advancedlearners. The results, based on an approximate binomial distributionanalysis, confirm that Preterit is the preferred past, which supports L1transfer (Salaberry & Shirai, 2002). The results also verify that Preterit isbiased by dynamicity and punctuality at all levels. Telicity effects comeinto play in intermediate levels, while punctuality effects are reinforced inadvanced levels. Stativity influences the use of Imperfect in intermediatelevel, which reveals that there are differences in the bias effect regardingproficiency level.
