Abstract:

After a comprehensive description of the French and English tense,
aspect, mood/modality (TAM) systems in Chapter 1, an overview of key
theoretical perspective and applied perspectives from the
morpheme-order studies to examples of internal and external interfaces
in monolingual child acquisition is presented in Chapter 2. The
literature review of L2 studies illustrates the subtleties of TAM
properties in Chapter 3. It is followed by the rigorous methodology of
a cross-sectional empirical study designed to test the L2 acquisition
of the English TAM system along with pretest results in Chapter 4. The
quantitative and qualitative analyses of data obtained from written
production tasks, cloze tests and completion tasks completed by French
EFL and ESL learners and a NS comparison group appear in Chapters 5, 6
and 7. The results discussed in Chapter 8 address the explanatory
power of the Interface and Feature Reassembly hypotheses while
directions for future research are offered in Chapter 9. Scholars will
appreciate how new data carefully analyzed in its nuances and
complexities bring us closer to better understanding the challenges L2
learners face.
