1. Chapter 6 Psycholinguistic aspects of interlanguange By: nuha fitriyah niken parahita komala putri wardaningsih

2. What is psycholinguistics?
Psycholinguistics is the study of the mental structures and processes involved in the acquisition and use of language
1. language transfer
2. the role of consciousness
3. processing operations
4. communication strategies

3. Language transfer
The term language transfer is used to describe what occurs when people who are in the process of learning a new language transfer the applications from their native language, or their first language, to the new language.
No matter how many fearures L1 transfer, the ability in using L1 is still there

4. Negative transfer (interference)
Negative transfer occurs when speakers and writers transfer items and structures that are not the same in both languages
Positive transfer
When the relevant unit or structure of both languages is the same, linguistic interference can result in correct language production called positive transfer (when there are similarities between L1 and L2)

5. Avoidance
learners tries to avoid strange or complicated features of second language
Overuse
it may be influenced by first language features

6. Contrastive analysis (CA)
analytical comparison/contrast between two languages in order to find out their similarities and differences
Assumption: similarities will facilitate learning while differences will hinder learning
Error analysis (EA)
the analysis of students’ errors in learning second language in order to find out the reasons/causes of the errors

7. Restructuring continuum
continuum along which the learner tries to reconsruct his/her interlanguage which is influenced by first language and second language

8. The role of consciousness
Are we conscious when learning a new language?
Two opposing opinions about language learning (LL):
intentional learning (explicit learning)
learner explicity (consciously) learns the rules of second language in order to master it
incidental learning (implicit learning)
learner subconsciously learns second language by practice

9. Learner notice
At any stage of second language learning, the students practically notice the features of second language. There are a lot of efforts for first language learners in learning his/her first language

10. The processing operations
Operating principles, are:
1. avoid interruption
2. rearrangement of second language features
3. avoid exceptions

11. Communication strategies
Avoiding stategy
Substitution/replacement
Borrowing
Paraphrase
Keep quiet

12. Types of computational models
serial model:
learn second language feature one at one time
parallel model:
learn second language features simultaneously at the same time
