Multiword sequences, as important building blocks for language learning, pose difficulty for second language (L2) learners (Arnon & Christiansen, 2017; Christiansen & Arnon, 2017). Chinese directional complement (DC) constructions, as a subtype of Chinese multiword sequences, are challenging to acquire for L2 learners (Wu, 2011; Yang, 2003). However, little is known about L2 Chinese learners' acquisition of figurative DCs and their comprehension of literal and figurative DCs. The present study investigated whether L2 learners' acquisition of Chinese DCs was influenced by the syntactic and semantic complexity of DC constructions, and learners' experience with their first language (L1), through a situation-cued sentence completion test, grammaticality judgment test, and post-test interview.Analysis of 103 Chinese learners' performance on the two tests and 16 learners' perspectives in the interviews revealed that learners' acquisition of DCs was affected by the syntactic complexity of DC constructions and whether DCs were used literally or figuratively. Results showed that the syntactic constraint of DC constructions and word order associated with compound DC constructions with noun phrases presented difficulty for learners. Figurative DCs were found to be challenging, but the difficulty of figurative compound DCs was mitigated by learners' acquisition of figurative compound DC constructions as coherent lexical chunks. Additionally, it was found that L1 experience of English learners of Chinese influenced their comprehension and production of DCs. Lai (来hither) or qu (去thither) as the second DC in compound DC constructions with noun phrases was overshadowed or even blocked by cues learners were more familiar with in their L1, and the learning of one-to-two form-function mapping of lai (来hither) and qu (去thither) was interfered with by the one-to-one mapping of "come" and "go" in English, which are the equivalent words for lai (来hither) and qu (去thither) as verbs. Finally, it was revealed that heritage language learners outperformed non-heritage language learners on both tests, which can be explained by heritage language learners' exposure to Chinese at home and their familiarity with Chinese aural input.The results of the current study have implications for teaching Chinese DC constructions and potentially other Chinese multiword sequences. In the initial stage, Chinese instructors should teach DC constructions as coherent lexical chunks to help learners to strengthen the form-function mapping of DC constructions with many examples to demonstrate the usage of them. Next, Chinese instructors could teach the compositionality of DC constructions and introduce the function of the individual DCs. During this stage, Chinese instructors should direct learners' attention to DCs whose acquisition is likely to be affected by their L1 experience.
