Abstract

In Portuguese for Spanish Speakers the negative L1 influence is seen as the main problem in language learning. This influence is reflected by several production errors formally related to L1.This paper presents the results of an error analysis of the inflected forms of present indicative tense produced by beginning level learners in a transformation activity. The analysis shows that quantification may vary depending on the transfer identification judgment used and the importance of intralinguistic phenomena in the learning process and use.
