This case study follows seven learners of English as a Second Language for 17 years and looks into the spontaneous learnability of motion lexicalization patterns in English, specifically the path component as explained by Talmy (2000) and Slobin (1987, 2004, 2017). The results suggest that advanced Spanish learners of English who have benefited from both instructed and naturalistic acquisition show an unawareness to differences in the conceptualization of motion in the L2. As a result, learners may not develop canonical L2 lexicalization patterns, which not only lead to obvious interlanguage omissions of sanctioned forms when describing motion but can also curtail further advancement. I believe awareness of conceptual differences between languages can lead to more progress and proficiency in late advanced learners
