Laroche, Jacques M. – System, 1983
Discusses the theories of contrastive analysis and error analysis in second language learning with regard to the idea that a language closely related to one's own native language is easier to learn that a remotely related one. (EKN)

Morrissey, Michael D. – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1983

Selinker, Larry; Lamendella, John T. – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1981
Presents data on the past and present state of research on the interlanguage hypothesis, with specific attention to its extension to children. Outlines a dual approach to developing a theory of second language acquisition--a macrobehavioral approach and a neurofunctional approach. Finally, problems for the interlanguage hypothesis are discussed.…

Adjemian, Christian – Language Learning, 1976
Examines the central characteristics of interlanguages that distinguish them from all other natural language systems. It is proposed that, since permeability presupposes an interlanguage norm which is relatively stable, we are forced to gather enough data to establish the overall level of linguistic competence of the learner.

Holme, Randal – Language, Culture and Curriculum, 2002
Shows how culture is encoded in the everyday conceptual metaphors speakers take for granted. Describes the way these encodings differ across languages as "semantic relativism" and argues that language teachers need to be aware of this phenomenon to understand their learners' interlanguage and to help them recognize the internal structure of the…

Bardovi-Harlig, Kathleen – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1999
Surveys the development of second language acquisition research in the area of tense and aspect. Research in this area has grown from the incidental investigation of tense-aspect morphology as part of the morpheme-order studies to investigations of the construction of interlanguage temporal semantics.

Kim, Jong-Shil – Journal of Pan-Pacific Association of Applied Linguistics, 2002

Slabakova, Roumyana – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2002
Investigates the compounding parameter in the second language (L2) Spanish interlanguage of English and French native speakers in light of the subset principle and its predictions for the process of L2 development. (Author/VWL)

Wildner-Bassett, Mary E. – IRAL, 1990
Describes the clanger phenomenon (disruption or redirection of conversation caused by an interactionally aggressive utterance), and reexamines and more closely defines it in terms of foreign language learners' needs and language use. (CB)

Nickel, Gerhard – IRAL, 1989
A review of the development and interaction of research involving second language contrastive analysis, error analysis, and interlanguage demonstrates how different assumptions and theoretical preconceptions have affected the results of such research, and the degree to which the research areas have drawn on the other areas.

Wen, Xiaohong – International Journal of Applied Linguistics, 1995
This study investigated 14 English speakers' interlanguage constructions using the Chinese perfective aspect and the sentence-final modal particle. The results show that although the surface forms of the perfective aspect "-le" and the sentence-final "le" are identical, they are learned differently, with the perfective aspect…

Sajjadi, Samad; Tahririan, M. H. – IRAL, 1992
Investigates the role of elicitation tasks on the linguistic performance of Persian learners learning English in a nonnative speaking environment. The purpose is to investigate whether learners' interlanguage ranges along a continuum or whether it shifts between two opposing poles of monitored/unmonitored varieties. (29 references)

Dekydtspotter, Laurent; Sprouse, Rex A.; Anderson, Bruce – Second Language Research, 1998
Argues that the null preposition phenomenon is a special case of reliance on the A-bar binding strategy, examining research on English-French interlanguage in college classrooms and suggesting that apparent categorical mismatches in A-bar chains may result from preposition incorporation. Second-language learners can appeal to the A-bar binding…

Clachar, Arlene – Language Learning, 2005
The study sought to examine the effect of lexical aspect and narrative discourse structure on the pattern of acquisition and use of English verbal morphology exhibited by creole-speaking students. Findings indicated that the emergent pattern of morphology in the creole participants' written interlanguage appeared to be influenced not only by…
