1、通过对学习者的母语(mother tongue)和目的语(target language)对比研究,可以预见学习者在 学习该目的语中可能会犯的错误,但是局限性也逐渐的暴露了出来。为了对学习者的错误进行系统性的分析研究,以确定其错误的来源,为教学过程中消除这些错误提供依据,一种分析语言错误的新理论“错误分析理论”产生了。Definition1.Longman Dictionary of Applied Linguistics:The study and analysis of the errors made by second and foreign language learners.2.Co

10、在文化方面:由于语言学习者对目的语的文化风俗习惯不懂或者了解的较少,在使用目的语时套用母语的文化习惯就会产生语言错误。如中国人见面打招呼常用的“Have you had your dinner?”对西方国家的人来说就完全不适用。Interlingual transfer refers to the interference of the first language,such as the mechanical application of rules,set phrases or items of the L1 to L2 context.It explains many errors ma
