Description
Summary:[...]Giacalone-Ramat and Rastelli demonstrate how a speaker's first language can influence the semantic representations of L2 verbs, encouraging the use of qualitative methods to further explore this initial stage of L2 development. Some chapters are not focused on empirical investigation of L2 acquisition of tense and aspect, and, therefore, they provide limited insight into the global discussion of research design and methodology. The volume will be of interest to researchers who want to learn about experimental design, data coding, and analysis in L2 studies of tense and aspect as well as to those who want to apply these insights to the study of other areas of L2 development. a The University of Iowa
