Resumen de Interlanguage Analysis of Clitics in Chinese
Through the analysis of interlanguage, this article tries to detect the most frequent errors that Spanish speakers often make when learning the clitics of the Chinese language. The learning of the clitics is fundamental for mastering Chinese, a typical example of the isolating languages. The syntactic relations and grammatical contents of the Chinese language highly depend on the use of the clitics. Because of the positive transference from their mother tongue, Spanish speakers more or less learn the aspectual clitics well. But when it comes to the structural and modal clitics, the result is not quite satisfactory. The most problematic clitics, according to the statistics from this article, are “de, le, a, ne”. An investigation of the study habits is also conducted. With this, we intend to emphasize the social integration and extracurricular efforts, which sometimes even weigh more than the class hours, are the determinant factors for learning a foreign language well.
