Markedness and instructed SLA: An experiment in teaching the Spanish subjunctive

The present study has investigated the role of typological markedness on instructed second language acquisition (SLA). In particular, the study has examined whether instruction in a marked Spanish subjunctive use had an effect on the acquisition of this marked element and triggered the acquisition of unmarked subjunctive uses. For the purpose of the study, the instructional method used was processing instruction.
