dc.abstract.enThe present study investigates transfer phenomena in Polish users of English at varying competence levels. We inspect the frequency of morphemes which are postulated to be transfer-susceptible (Hulk and Muller, 2000; c.f. Bu 2012). For our analysis, we chose four functional morphemes: the possessive ['s], the genitive [of], and two English articles, the indefinite [a] and the definite [the]. Our data consisted of a corpus of student writing (N=150 B2 Polish learners of English, N=224 C1 non-Polish learners of English, and N=192 Polish C1 students, mean age=20, SD=4), supplemented by an NS reference group (N=32). Our analysis afforded significant variation among conditions, F(6,2292) = 109.01, p < 0.05. Post-hoc analysis showed that the mean score of the B2, L1-Polish group (M = 5.58, SD = 4.11) was significantly lower than that of the C1-Polish group (M = 12.55, SD = 8.79). However, no significant difference was observed between the C1 groups, with the C1-L1 non-Polish group (M = 12.24, SD = 8.95) having a similar score to its Polish counterpart. The frequency of all studied morphemes can be correlated with learner level, while any effect of L1-background remains negligible. This finding marginalizes the influence of transfer on the distribution of grammatical morphemes in monitored L2 outputs and points to linguistic sources of morpho-syntactic and lexical errors, perhaps along the lines of Collins et al. (2009).
