Abstract

I should like to point out at the outset that the present study on language transfer phenomenon from Thai to English is text-bound rather than attempting at delineating the psycholinguistic processes of transfers. In other words, Selinker's-five processes vital in accounting for 'interlanguage,' a succession of stages of acquiring proficiency in a target language, the so-called 'language transfer,' 'transfer of training,' 'strategies of second language learning,' 'strategies of second language communication,' and 'overgeneralization of target language linguistic material' have been combined to explain the surface manifestation of language transfer, or Selinker's 'interlanguage.'
