In this research, we sought to establish whether adult non-native English speakers interpret aspectual phrasal verbs by means of the continuous or discontinuous position of the particle that goes with them and whether this is related to their level of proficiency in English as a second language (L2). An image selection task was designed and applied to adult native and non-native English speakers, the latter were divided into four groups based on their hours of exposure to the target language (100–200 h, 300–400 h, 600–700 h, +1000 h.). The results obtained suggest that the position of the particle can sometimes affect the interpretation of phrasal verbs of English by non-native speakers; however, this does not occur in the same way for all phrasal verbs, since the interpretation is also linked to the category to which they belong and to the particle present in each case. Finally, non-native speakers of English with a greater number of hours of exposure to the target language do not have a significantly different performance from non-native speakers when interpreting phrasal verbs, although in some cases the differences are pronounced.
