Abstract

espanolEste estudio examina y compara la produccion del ingles como lengua extranjera de dos grupos de hablantes con respecto a algunas manifestaciones de la expresion del sujeto en el discurso. El primero es de 12 alumnos espanoles avanzados de ingles como lengua extranjera al final de su licenciatura en Filologia Inglesa, y el segundo de 9 hablantes adultos de lenguas romanicas residentes en paises de habla inglesa durante decadas. Se intenta comprobar la hipotesis de que la inversion verbo-sujeto con verbos inacusativos y la omision de los sujetos pronominales identificados por el discurso en la lengua nativa constituyen elementos de fosilizacion si su pervivencia se mantiene en el grupo segundo, a pesar de su larga y abundante exposicion a la L2 y su frecuente interaccion en la misma. EnglishThis study examines and compares the English as a foreign language production of two groups of speakers with respect to certain manifestations of the expression of the subject in discourse. One of the groups consists of 12 advanced EFL university English majors living in Spain, the other of 9 adult Romance speakers having lived in an English speaking country for several decades. The hypothesis is tested that subject inversion with unaccusative verbs and pronominal subject omission when identified in discourse constitute fossilization phenomena as verified by their perseverance in the second group of learners despite their long and rich exposure to the L2 and their frequent interaction in it.
