This article presents three related experiments on the acquisition of classes of causative verbs: physical change of state verbs with agentive subjects (e.g., English break) and psychological change of state verbs experiencer objects (e.g., English frighten) in English, Spanish and Turkish as second languages by speakers whose native languages are En . Spanish, Thrkish and Japanese. These verbs participate in causative/inchoative alternation crosslinguistically, but the morphologi expression of the alternation varies in the four languages. English predominantly zero-morphology, Spanish has anticausative morphology, Thrkish and Japanese both have causative and anticausative morpho! Assuming the tenets of the Full Transfer/Full Access Hypothesis (Schwartz and Sprouse, 1996), results of a picture judgement task testing transitive intransitive sentences and manipulating overt/non-overt morphology on verbs show that morphological errors in the three languages are constrain by the morphological patterns of the learners' first language (L1s). addition to showing that formal features of morphemes transfer morphophonological matrices do not, this study refines the role of influence in the morphological domain by showing that the morphophonological shape of affixes transfers as well.
