Firstly, it describes in detail the errors that a Chinese advanced learner made in her first few months' the naturalistic communication, then analyzes the main types and causes of errors.Lastly, there is a conclusion that language errors are caused by the limits of human language (L1/L2) abilities and L2 errors are closely related to L1 interference.展开更多

Thus,it is proposed that both Chinese EFL teachers and learners should pay more attention to the cross- language'equivalents'that do not belong to the same word-class category in their L2 word acquisition to prevent the negative Ll-transference and the occurrence of lexical fossilization.展开更多
