| summary | The Aspect Hypothesis (e.g. Andersen & Shirai 1994) predicts strong associations between telic verbs and past/perfective markers, between atelic verbs and general imperfective markers, and between activity verbs and progressive markers in L1 and L2 acquisition. I will examine conditions under which these predictions are not supported, which I will argue settles the debate on whether such associations are observed due to universal predispositions (e.g. Bickerton, 1981) or input frequency. |
