While L1 speakers of English may quickly learn to identify and, to some extent, use the Spanish perfective and imperfective verb endings, the L2 representation of tense-aspect distinctions among both beginning and advanced learners requires a comprehensive multidimensional analysis. Through a detailed examination of new and existing empirical data, this monograph proposes a new model for examining tense-aspect marking in second language acquisition, which reconciles competing, alternative hypotheses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive account will be of interest to academics researching second language acquisition and applied linguistics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781847062383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40603513454798,"sku":"9781847062383","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781847062383","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
