Message 1: Terminology Problem: Interlingual? Intralingual?
Date: 09-Apr-2005

Subject: Terminology Problem: Interlingual? Intralingual?


In analyzing learner errors, errors that are influenced by the native 
language (L1) are termed interlingual while errors that are influenced 
by the target language (L2) are called intralingual. Does anybody 
have a suggestion for a term for errors that are neither influenced by 
the L1 nor the L2? I want to refer to errors that are produced by 
language learners because they do not know the target form (i.e., 
competence errors) - I am not talking about accidental, performance- 
related errors. Some terms I suggest: 
 
- language-independent 
- nonlingual 
- not-L1/L2-related 
- L1/L2-unrelated 
 
I am interested to know what others think of my suggestions. In 
addition, does anybody have further suggestions to refer to these 
errors? Thank you.
