This talk presents part of my ongoing PhD project, which is an empirical study of the linguistic features in the second language acquisition of Chinese ‘bei’ passives by adult English native speakers. In total, 75 English native speakers with intermediate and advanced Chinese proficiency, and 33 native Mandarin Chinese speakers completed the experiment, involving a Sentence Reorganisation task, a Self-Paced Reading task, an untimed Acceptability Judgement task, and a Picture Elicited Rearrangement task. I will focus on the features [telic], [dynamic], [affected] and [adverse], and discuss the behaviours of short passives in the learners’ mental representations.
