چکیده
This paper investigated Particle Movement in Korean EFL learners’ writings. Gries (1999, 2001, 2003) adopted a multifactorial analysis to examine Particle Movement of native speakers. Several linguistics factors were proposed in the studies, and it was demonstrated that these factors influenced the choice of the constructions. This paper also employed a multifactorial analysis to examine Particle Movement in Korean EFL learners’ writings. The analysis results illustrated that the Korean EFL learners were slightly different from native speakers in that only some factors were used for the selection of constructions.
