| Descripción: | Based on the concept of linguistic distance (Santos Gargallo, 1993; Moreno, 2010) and the transfer/ interference hypothesis (Kellerman, 1977; Kellerman et al, 1986), it can be said that the long linguistic distance between Chinese and Spanish implies many difficulties for Chinese learners due to lack of support from the known phenomena in their mother language. However, a possible beneficial factor is that Chinese university students generally possess a good command of English, which is in the middle of the linguistic sequence (Lu, 2008, p. 48) where Chinese is their native language and Spanish their third language. Our hypothesis is that similarities between English and Spanish would trigger positive transfer, while differences would generate interference. Following a comparative study of Spanish and English participles, the present research studies the Chinese university students’ use of the Spanish participle and carries out an error analysis (EA). The result of the EA ratifies our hypothesis, and we have further found that positive transfer is represented prominently in usages at basic and intermediate levels, while negative transfer is represented mainly at an advanced level. |
