This study examined the acquisition of the Russian indefinite determiners ( kakoj-to  ‘which-to’ and  kakoj-nibud’  ‘which-nibud’’) encoding scopal specificity by English and Korean native speakers within the feature-based contrastive framework ( Lardiere 2008 ,  2009 ). The specificity markers  kakoj-to  and  kakoj-nibud’  are reflections of different values of three major nominal features:  definiteness ,  scopal specificity , and  referentiality . The learning task for each functional item differs with respect to mapping and reconfiguration of the feature combinations. Our experimental data suggest that the morpheme  kakoj-to  was acquired early since English ( some ) and Korean ( eotteon  ‘some’) have the corresponding morphemes with the same featural representation as the Russian  kakoj-to . The morpheme  kakoj-nibud’  presented a greater difficulty since its featural make-up is not overtly realized in English or Korean, that is, learners had to reassemble the target feature set. Such developmental patterns provide evidence that feature reassembly poses a challenge in second language acquisition. On the basis of the findings, pedagogical implications are discussed.
