Pit Corder and Larry Selinker, the concept of interlanguage was established as learners’ independent system of the second language, which is of neither the native language nor the second language, but a continuum of approximation from one extreme of his native language to the other of the second language. 4.2 Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis It is the synchronic comparison of two languages, for example, English and Chinese.# Problematic# General linguistics pay more attention to lay down the rules for “correct and standard” behavior in using language, to tell people what they should say and what they shouldn’t say. Modern linguistics pay more attention to describe the language people actually use, be “correct” or not. 4.3 The Differences Between L1 and L2 4.3.1 Phonological Differences English is a stress-timed language and Chinese is a syllable-timed language.4.3.2 Morphological Differences Morphologically, Chinese is uninflectional and English is inflectional.4.3.3 Syntactic Differences P60  According to Selinker, there are a number of basic processes, that is, activities that the learners adopts in order to help himself acquire the language.SPECIAL RULES P63 Negative Transfer VS Positive TransferCharacteristics: errors VS simplification/avoidance/overuse Pedagogical Implications for Language Teaching
