| Research Abstract |
This study investigated Japanese speakers’ acquisition of passives and resultatives in English. Results showed that (a) Japanese speakers overgeneralizedindirect passives (e.g., *I was stolen my bike), which are possible in Japanese, to L2 English, and that (b) while lower-level Japanese speakers allowed only “weak” resultatives (e.g., I painted the wall red), higher-level Japanese speakers allowed “strong” resultatives (e.g., The horses dragged the logs smooth) as well as weak ones. The results p rovide a new piece of evidence for the claim that L1 transfer and learnability considerations can explain the outcomes of the acquisition of L2 argument structure
