In this paper, errors per se were collected from 107 writing samples of Chinese college students, and then investigated from a variety of linguistic perspectives. Traditional theoretical approaches, i.e. CA and EA, are incorporated in the source analysis for a more comprehensive interpretation. Hopefully, the findings of the study will shed lights on lexical instruction and acquisition in the field of SLA.展开更多

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
