<br>
In a recent monograph, Yas Shirai and I examined the phenomena that
you<br>
mentioned in both L1 and L2, comparing data across English, Chinese,
and<br>
Japanese, with theoretical discussions on developmental,
crosslinguistic,<br>
and connectionist perspectives on the acquisition of tense/aspect. The
book<br>
should come out soon or anytime now, and you can print out and mail
the</blockquote>
