American Studies - Linguistics

This case study analyzes the language errors of the Korean English as a second language learner Hu Jeong, who is currently attending the California State University of Long Beach as part of an exchange program.

The case study and the analysis of Hu’s errors are based on his conversation with two students who speak English on a native-like level. For this purpose, it will be analyzed if Hu’s speech errors are due to a negative L1 transfer. To come to a conclusion, his phonological and morpho-syntactic knowledge will be analyzed.
