  • Interlanguage is not a deficient approximation of the target language but a developing variety with its own internal consistency, shaped by first language transfer, learning strategies, and communicative demands.

    “Interlanguage is not a deficient approximation of the target language but a developing variety with its own internal consistency, shaped by first language transfer, learning strategies, and communicative demands.”
  • Selinker (1972) introduced the concept of interlanguage to describe the systematic, rule-governed language system that learners construct during second language acquisition.

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.
