Abstract

Apart from the errors in English catenative structures made by Thai students which are derived from the different patterns in English catenative verbs, certain errors can result from Thai polysemy. The aspect of Thai polysemy to be discussed here concerns the verbs that can occur in Thai catenative structures but which cannot occur likewise in English. Certain error-inducing verbs, for example, 'persuade', 'coax', 'convince' etc..are taught regardless of their semantic components;? thus, the way they are used productively is not appropriate for the context, despite the fact that they are used grammatically.
