1 Learner error in second language acquisi0on: the transfer of form or concept? Samantha Austen Centre for Language and Communica0on Research, Cardiff University, UK 1
2 Is the present perfect? Problem Difficulty in understanding and using the English tense system by Italian learners on English. Errors in spoken and wri<en produc=on. Hypotheses Speakers of Italian and speakers of English differ in their conceptualisa=on of select aspects of temporality. These conceptualisa=ons are transferred in second language learning resul=ng in L1 interference and consequent errors in produc=on. 2
3 L1 transfer: 3 forms 3
4 Formal Transfer Target Form I bought a new car yesterday L1 equivalent Ieri ho comprato una macchina nuova L2 produc=on I have bought a new car yesterday. 4
5 Seman0c Transfer From Odlin (2005) Polish Speakers. Target form: My brother and I went to the theatre yesterday L1 equivalent: Wczoraj bylis my z bratem w teatrze L2 Produc=on: We were at the theatre with my brother yesterday. Odlin T. (2005) Annual Review of Applied Linguistics. 25,
6 Conceptual Transfer Target Form: I have been wai=ng here for 10 minutes. L1 equivalent: AspeKo qui da 10 minu= L2 Produc=on: I wait here for 10 minutes 6
7 The Study Descrip=on of Tense and Aspect in English and Italian Seman=c Maps (CroZ 2003) of Temporality were developed showing seman=c representa=ons of temporality in English and Italian. Croft, W. (2003) Typology and Universals. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. Development of Tests Cloze tests produced based on areas of divergence highlighted by seman=c maps and Vendler (1967) verb class. to know (State verb - punctual telic dynamic) to camp (Ac;vity verb punctual telic +dynamic) Vendler, Z.

8 . Semantic Map 1: showing the functions of the English Present Simple, Present Progressive, Present Perfect and Present Perfect Progressive. English Present progressive Core semantics: present, duration, limited duration, possibly incomplete. Repetition of events of limited duration At 1.30pm the baby is usually sleeping. Sporadic repetition over time She s always dropping things. Temporary state My back is aching/ Mary is sick* Ongoing process The weather is changing Change in state/situation House prices are going up Habit over a limited period I m taking Spanish lessons at the moment Active cognition I m thinking about going. Active perception I m tasting the soup. Repetition of single punctual event She s knocking on the door Persistent or continuous activity At the moment the builders are working hard because they want to finish the flats. Temporary situations or happenings at time of speaking. Giulio is sleeping Instantaneous use (commentaries) And he scores! Performative use I accept your terms. Permanent states I am English English Present Simple: Core semantics: present, true at present time, imperfective Eternal truths. Hydrogen is the lightest element.

Temporary activity up to the present They have been widening the road. Incomplete activity* contrast complete Who has been eating my breakfast? State up to the present time I have known him since he was a boy. Situation up to present time I have lived here for years. Habit leading up to the present Kat has sung in a choir for years. Recent past (transformative) I have only just arrived, what has happened? Recent past Has the postman been yet? Resultative past The taxi has arrived. Experiential past I have been to South Africa. English Present Perfect Core semantics: Past time related to present time, result. Temporary activity up to present with result. I am tired because I have been running. English Present Perfect Progressive Core semantics: duration, temporary, continues up to present or recent past, incomplete, possible results

12 Crusoe Cloze Test and Verb Box Look at the story of Crusoe. Today another ship wrecked person has arrived on the island. He asks Crusoe about his situa;on. Put the verbs in Crusoe s explana;on in the correct tense. I...(fall off) my ship and then I... (swim) to the island, I even...(see) a shark. I...(be) on the island a week, I...(eat) coconuts, I... (sleep) under a palm tree and I... (wait) for rescue. I... (not see) a ship so I... (write) SOS in the sand. Look at the story of Crusoe. Decide if the verbs refer to past or present ac;ons and put them in the chart below. fall off his ship see a shark swim to the island wait for rescue sleep under the palm tree eat coconuts be on the island write SOS to not see a ship Present Past 12
13 The story of Crusoe DAY 1 TODAY DAY
14 Administra0on of Tests Cloze tests and picture s=muli administered to 7 pre- intermediate Italian students of English. Par=cipants were given a semi- structured targeted interviews about their responses. 4 Na=ve English speakers were tested as controls 14
15 Results Concept State leading up to and con0nuing in the present. e.g. I have known him for years Temporary situa0on leading up to the present moment e.g. I have been wai<ng Temporary habit up to the present moment e.g. We have been sleeping Finished past ac0on with no present result e.g. I fell off my ship Finished past ac0on with a present result e.g. It has started to rain Incidences of Transfer Conceptual x 3 (1 x Seman=c which was reclassified as Conceptual) Conceptual x 3 Conceptual x 4 None. Support for Aspect Hypothesis Conceptual x 6 15
16 Evidence for Conceptual Transfer 1 state leading up to and con;nuing in the present Target Form: I have known him for years Par=cipant 1,7 : I know him for years E` un azione che era vera nel passato ma e` vera anche nel presente Non la conosce al passato la conosce ancora 16
17 Evidence for Conceptual Transfer 2 finished past ac;on with a present result Target form: I have wri<en SOS in the sand/ I have recharged my phone Par=cipant 2,3,4,6: I wrote SOS/I recharged my phone. Poi ho messo, ho scriro, perche` comunque lui non con;nua a scriverlo l ha scriro in quel momento e l azione si e` conclusa Semmai con;nua ad esserci ma lui non con;nua a scriverlo ovviamente l ha scriro una volta e basta 17
18 Evidence for Conceptual Transfer finished past ac;on with a present result Target Form: I haven t seen a ship 3 Par=cipant 4,7: I don t see Il faro che questa persona con;nua a non vedere rende la cosa al presente Io penso comunque non ha visto niente non sta vedendo 18
19 Conclusions Development of seman=c maps of temporality for English and Italian gives a base for believing that there could be differing conceptualisa=ons of select aspects of temporality. Some convincing examples of Conceptual Transfer were produced. The prototype in each category is eventually transferred. The prototype is the func=on closest to the core seman=cs of the category. (Housen 2002) L1 Transfer takes place as part of the acquisi=on process (Rocca 2002). It becomes less apparent with the eventual recoding of linguis=c prototypes towards na=ve use of the L2. (Giacalone- Ramat 2002; Ellis 2006) 19 Housen, A. -- Rocca, S.-- Giacalone Ramat, A. In: Salaberry, R and Shirai, Y. (eds) The L2 Acquisition of Tense-Aspect Morphology. Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing Company, (2002). Ellis, N.C. (2006). Applied Linguistics. 27/2,
20 Will the Future be Perfect? Seek further evidence for Conceptual Transfer with a wider sample. Develop a fully func=onal/cogni=ve descrip=on of temporality in English and Italian. Work on possible differences in inherent lexical aspect applying to verbs in English and Italian. Implicated in Conceptual Transfer (Shirai and Nishi 2003) 20 Shirai, Y. and Nishi, Y.
