The results of the study showed that (a) force dynamics and intentionality are important semantic components in both languages, but their distribution and relative focus differed cross-linguistically, and (b) the two learner groups had difficulties in reconstructing the meanings of the L2 verbs involving these two semantic components. Learning difficulties were observed when moving from a less to a more complex L2 system, when moving in the opposite direction, i.e., from a more to a less complex L2 system and when moving to an L2 system that is as complex as the learners native one. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.281 2016 LINGUISTICS 143 / 180 = 0.794 2016 Q4 T3 0.2 2016 Language and Linguistics 2016 Q2 Linguistics and Language 2016 Q2 Developmental and Educational Psychology 2016 Q4 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Cadierno, Teresa Hijazo-Gascón, Alberto (orcid)0000-0001-8320-9173 3010 575 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
