A Brief Introduction on Language Transfer between English and French Abstract： Contrast Analysis Hypothesis (CAH), put forward in the late 1960s, claimed that errors made by second language learners were believed to be the result mainly of transfer form their first language. However, the author also finds that this kind of transfer not only happens in L1 and L2, but in two foreign languages. The author investigates eighteen English majors who choose French as their second foreign language in Guangzhou University. Among them, 88.3% subjects think that interference and language transfer exist between English and French. Accounting for this, it is considered that similarities are the main factor. First, this article introduces why students choose French as their second foreign language. Then, from the perspectives of language system, letter, word, and fixed thinking pattern, this paper makes empirical studies on the transfer that Chinese students receive from English, their first foreign language, in the study of French, their second foreign language by comparing French with English., and raises some suggestions on the elimination of negative transfer, or interference. This research, using quantitative analysis method, by combining relevant theories and employing survey, interview and other methods, analyzes the phenomenon of transfer that happen between English and French. 摘要 十九世纪六十年代提出的对比分析理论（Contrast Analysis Hypothesis, 以下简称CAH）中说语言的错误而是由于第一语言的迁移现象而造成的。当目的语与母语比较相似时，会产生正迁移，促进目的语的学习，而如果两种语言差别很大时，则会产生负迁移，笔者认为语言干扰不仅产生于双语者中,许多人在学习多门外语时也会产生同样问题。本文运用定量分析的方法，就此问题,调查了本校英语专业三、四年级第二外语选修法语的18名学生,88.3%的被试者认为在英语和法语的学习中有干扰和语言迁移现象。产生这种干扰的原因是多方面的。笔者认为,其中很重要的一个原因就是这两种语言有许多的相似性。本文首先从学习者选择法语作为第二外语的原因引入，再通过对比第一外语英语和第二外语法语，并就语言系统、字母、单词和思维定势这几个方面对两者语言迁移进行实际研究，同时笔者希望能在这些语际干扰、语言迁移现象的初步探讨中，给出一些排除负迁移的建议。本文采用定量分析方法，结合相关理论、问卷、访问等调查方式对英法的语言迁移现象进行分析。 Key words: positive transfer; negative transfer; English; French I.
