The acquisition of prepositional verbs in Spanish as a foreign language
presents some difficulties: the selection of the appropriate preposition does not follow any
rules, some verbs select more than one preposition, and the semantic differences between
the different possibilities vary enormously. These structures are difficult to learn for any L2
learner and especially for Chinese speakers, whose mother tongue does not have this type
of constructions. Based on error analysis, this study investigates where the main difficulty
in the production of these structures lies in order to draw valid conclusions for L2 teaching.
For this purpose, an experiment was designed with eight prepositional verbs of different
characteristics. The research has been done with 117 Chinese-speakers as Spanish Foreign
Language students. Frequency effects (type and token frequency) on wrong answers have
been measured and they have been found to be significant. The lexical strength of the different
structures has been used as an agent for teaching outline and, accordingly, the design of connectionist learning models has been proposed.
