Abstract

Abstract Interlanguage studies have shifted over time from the early qualitative studies to quantitative studies of specific linguistic structures. However, the focus of these studies is usually on a partial aspect of an interlanguage instead of the whole system. Therefore, there remains a paucity of quantitative studies on interlanguage from the typological perspective. Based on a syntactically-tagged corpus that we built, and taking a quantitative linguistic metric, this paper reports the typological change in Chinese interlanguage from two native language backgrounds i.e., English and Japanese. The findings show that (1) the interlanguage of native English speakers and native Japanese speakers have the same preference for SV and VO; (2) interlanguage is a gradual developmental system, and the typological features of native language have an influence on the development of interlanguage typological features; (3) typological markedness between NL and TL affect the development of interlanguage's typological features, and experience with L2 can also influence L2 acquisition; (4) the dependency direction can be universally applicable as an indicator to investigate the overall development of interlanguage typology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
