テーマ：    Variability of English Past Tense Morphology by L1
           Thai Learners and L1 French Learners

要 旨： The study explored variability of English past tense
            morphology by L1 Thai learners. Based on the Failed
            Functional Features Hypothesis (FFFH) (Hawkins &
            Chan, 1997; Hawkins & Liszka, 2003), variability of
            English past tense morphology by L1 Thai and L1
            French learners was due to non-target-like syntactic
             representation, not target-like syntactic
            representation according to the Missing Surface
            Inflection Hypothesis (MSIH) (Prevost & White, 2000;
             Lardiere, 2003). The participants of the study were
            30 L1 Thai and 30 L1 French advanced learners of
            English. English and Thai are different in that past
            tense inflectional morphology is obligatory in English,
            but not in Thai. Data were collected from a
            grammaticality judgment test (GJT) and a cloze test.
            The results suggested that the L1 Thai learners’
            incorrect suppliances of English past tense
            morphemes were significantly higher than those of
            the L1 French learners in both tests. Moreover, the
            L1 Thai learners’ asymmetries of incorrect
            suppliances of English regular and irregular past
            tense morphemes were also evidenced. Based on
            the FFFH, the lack of the past feature in the Thai
            learners’ L1 led to variability in the L2 English past
            tense morphemes as well as the asymmetries of
            regular and irregular past tense morphemes. The L2
            English pastness is therefore unresettable for the L1
             Thai learners.
