Research Abstract |
This study addresses the issue of morphology in second language(L2) acquisition, and examines the validity of two hypotheses which have been proposed to explain the cause of such difficulties, namely the Representational Deficit Hypothesis(RDH)(Hawkins, 2001 ; Hawkins & Liszka, 2003) and the Prosodic Transfer Hypothesis(PTH)(Goad, Steel & White, 2003 ; Goad & White, 2004 ; 2006). Testing the Chinese-speaking learners, it was found that although some Chinese speakers had difficulties with past tense inflection, others were able to use the Japanese past tense inflection. ta reliably, both in written form and spontaneous production. Therefore, our results support the PTH.
