Abstract

This study investigates the acquisition of the resultative V-te iru construction by L2 learners of Japanese. Previous studies have suggested that the resultative use of the V-te iru construction is more difficult to acquire than the progressive one among L2 learners. The results of the current experiment with a refined truth-value judgment task indicate that both intermediate and advanced learners have difficulty in the interpretation of the resultative V-te iru construction. This difficulty is caused not only by the acquisition of the V-te iru construction but also by the lexical acquisition of achievement verbs.
