Adopting generative grammar as its theoretical framework, this paper explores the possible factors affecting Chinese EFL learners’ acquisition of English articles. 97 learners with the onset age of 12 or after were divided into three groups according to their language proficiency. The participants were tested on the use of English articles in four different tasks. The results show that their accuracy in using articles increases with their proficiency level and that the indefinite article and the zero article form seem to be more difficult to acquire than the definite article. It is argued that the complexity of feature reassembly constrains EFL learners’ acquisition of English articles as it affects the mapping between abstract syntactic knowledge and surface morphological forms. Thus the study supports the syntax-morphology mapping theory with fresh evidence.
