English syntax: Problems of acquisition. A cross-sectional study of the written compositions of Jordanian learners of English as a Second Language
This study is a cross-sectional investigation of the major syntactic errors in compositions written by sixty Jordanian learners of English as a second language. It analyzes the errors these learners make in the use of articles, prepositions, verbs, tense, and concord. Its purposes are to (a) compare frequencies of errors to find out if any developmental patterns exist among the three levels and (b) draw conclusions about the causes of these errors.
