Moi Tarzan, Vous Jane?: A Study of Communicative Competence

Powell, Patricia B.

Foreign Language Annals, 8, 1, 38-42, Mar 75

Secondary students of French interviewed a researcher posing as a French speaker. Error patterns and structures used were analyzed. Many errors were apparently due to interference; many others were apparently the result of reduction processes. Results suggested that errors might be corrected in terms of comprehensibility to a native speaker. (Author/KM)
