Abstract

Interlanguage plays a significant role in second language acquisition. It is produced under the influence of language learners’ mother tongue. The author mainly analyses interlanguage resulting from learners’ negative transfer of their mother tongue to the target language on different levels. This analysis shows the close relationship between the negative transfer and interlanguage. It also gives some enlightenment on second language teaching.
