The Interlanguage of Advanced Learners: An Error Analysis of Graduate Students' Spanish.

Azevedo, Milton M.

International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, v18 n3 p217-27 Aug 1980

Results of an error analysis of compositions by students of Spanish are reported. Advanced students are shown to still make errors in morphology, syntax, choice of prepositions, and lexical choice. Error patterns suggest utilization of variable rules in the analysis of transitional competence. (JB)
