5、 This is known as language transfer. This paper tries to find out the similarities and differences between Chinese and English through contrastive analysis, so as to find out the influences of Chinese into English. These influences are either positive or negative. They are separately known as positi
6、ve transfer and negative transfer. Positive transfer is good for the acquisition of English, it can facilitate the learning of English, whereas negative transfer is a blocking stone for English language acquisition, it may postpone the process of English language acquisition. Based on these concepts
7、, this paper tries to analyze the L1 transfer phenomenon in Chinese students English learning, and probes into the reasons for those transfers. They can take various measures to deal with problems caused by language transfer to bring into full play the effect of positive transfer and try to hold bac

This may be the effect of a particular foreign accent, or of particular syntactic, mo
9、rphological or lexical features characteristic of the native language in question. Transfer of linguistic properties from a speakers L1 into L2 is a pervasive feature of SLA (Towell, 1994). Transfer seems to affect all linguistic levels: phonetics (phonology; pronunciation), syntax (the construction
10、 of sentences), morphology (the internal structure of words), lexicon (vocabulary), and discourse (the communicative use that sentences are put to). We are almost aware of transfer in SLA where the L1and L2 differs on a particular property, because this leads to patterns in the speech of the non-nat

Zobel (1994) has noted that the acquisition of the determiners a/ the in English is faster for L2 learners whose native language also makes a distinction between indefinite and definite determines (such as French and Spanish ) than for those
12、 L2 learners whose native language does not make such a distinction (such as Chinese or Russian ). Lado (1957) pointed out that the student who comes into contact with a foreign language will find some features of it quite easy and others extremely difficult. Those elements that are similar to his n
13、ative language will be simple for him, and those elements that are different will be difficult.Generally there are two kinds of transfer: the positive transfer and the negative transfer. When there are some similar features between native language and target language, positive transfer may occur. Wh
14、en there are some different features between the native language and the target language, the negative transfer may occur. Dai & Wang (2002) noted that the similarity of vocabulary can promote the reading ability of the target language; the similarity of vowel system could make the discrimination of

Similarly, Yu Liming (2004) pointed out that the semantic similarities between the native language and target language can shorten the time needed for building good comprehensive ability. The positive transfer is good f

In the course of foreign language learning, the influence of L1 transfer is hard to be completely get rid of. The negative transfer can not be ignored, it constitutes the negative elements for the acquisition of phonetics, semantics, syntax, and grammar, and makes it hard for learners to acquire native-like language.L1 transfer includes
