Kang, Hyeon-seok. “Aspectual Influence on Tense Marking in an EFL Context.” Studies on
English Language and Literature. 33.3(2007): 151-173. With the goal of examining the validity
of the aspect hypothesis of Andersen & Shirai (1996) and Shirai (2007), this article investigates
aspectual effects of verbs on past marking on the basis of 2077 verb tokens from 18 Korean
English learners’ recorded speech produced in an EFL context. Two multivariate statistical
analyses are conducted in this study for data analysis. Results of the analyses provide yet
another piece of support to the aspect hypothesis. In both statistical tests, lexical aspect was
chosen as s significant constraint on past marking, and telic verbs showed clearly higher
probabilities of marking than atelics. This paper concludes that the effect of lexical aspect on
past marking is robust, not heavily affected by language learning contexts or types of data.
