摘要:L2 learners of English often come across sentences such as Next month sees the president in town or The hospital treats people with a rare condition. These sentences are challenging because of the non-agentive semantic roles they take in their subject position. I have set the goal of the present paper to document how 65 Hungarian learners at various levels of English proficiency cope with a range of non-agentive roles; and whether the semantically marked subjects pose an area of difficulty for them. The present study has great potential because of its major pedagogical implications and the valuable insights it provides into the typological differences between English and Hungarian.
