Abstract:

The expression of temporal relations, notably through tense and aspect, is
central in all processes of communication, but commonly perceived and
described as a major hurdle for non-native speakers. While this topic has
already received considerable attention in the SLA literature, it features
less prominently in recent corpus-based studies of learner language. This
volume intends to close this gap. It shows which additional insights into the
area of tense and aspect in learner language can be gained using corpus data,
addressing the following questions: In which ways do corpus-based studies
complement work based on other methods?; How can a corpus-based approach
inform theories on the acquisition of tense and aspect specifically, and of
language acquisition in general?; Are results language-specific or can
universal principles be established?; How pervasive are effects of
mode/register within learner corpus data?; What role does native and
non-native input play?; Which methodological challenges come to the fore when
using corpus data instead of elicited data?; How can the notion of
“target(-like)” performance be operationalized for corpus material?; Which
implications do the findings from the learner corpora have for the teaching
and learning of the target language?
