    Study Notes

    Interlanguage Hypothesis

    • The language produced by a learner when attempting meaningful communication in a foreign language is systematic at every level, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
    • The interlanguage hypothesis was proposed by Selinker in 1972.
    • The interlanguage system differs from the learner's native language in that it is a unique, systematic, and transitional language system.
    • The interlanguage system refers to the language produced by a learner when attempting to communicate in a foreign language.
    • The proposal of the interlanguage hypothesis stimulated the field of study of Second Language Acquisition (SLA).

    Characteristics of Interlanguage

    • The interlanguage system is primarily characterized as being systematic at every level.
    • The language produced by learners in a foreign language is claimed to be systematic, meaning it has its own rules and patterns.

    Key Facts

    • The levels of language mentioned in the interlanguage hypothesis are phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
    • There is no mention of "lexicon" as one of the levels of language in the interlanguage hypothesis.
