“…Such errors arise when the learner's rules, systems, or patterns interfere with or prevent them, to some degree, from acquiring second-language rules and patterns (Burhansyah, 2019;Corder, 1981;Yule, 2020). Lado (1964) and Fromkin et al (2018) stated that interference (negative transfer) is the mother tongue (L1) effect on target language performance (L2). Chelli (2014) characterized interlingual errors as the product of language transfer induced by first-language learners.…”

The Yemeni EFL learners are prone to share their knowledge and views regarding what and how to say. The constraints of combining this expertise have hampered learners’ writing success. Those obstacles can cause learners to make errors. Error Analysis (EA) and Surface Strategy Taxonomy (SST) were used to analyze learners’ linguistic errors. Error causes were also investigated. This research used a qualitative process style to use a case study approach. Ellis’ five-step EA procedure was followed to analyze essay data each comprising 100-350 words or more written by 20 Yemeni EFL eighth semester Arabic-speaking learners at the Department of Education, Sana’a University, Yemen. They were purposely selected as research subjects. It was noticed that omission was the most common error detected in the learners’ writings. Overall, this form of error accounted for 58.71% of 118 cases out of 201 cases. The learners’ common error categories were the number marker, verb-tenses articles, prepositions, subject-verb agreements, and pronouns. This was preceded by addition (20.39%), incorrect formation (15.92%), and word order (4.97%). Intralingual transfer turned out to be the key reason that caused the errors in the learners’ writing. Any of the interlinguistic comparisons was the cause behind the errors. In terms of verb conjugation component, inflectional morpheme, and auxiliary verb abandonment, Arabic and English have different formal definitions. Interlingual transfer and learning context also caused errors. To prevent errors from fossilizing, language instructors should provide continual corrective feedback, and learners should pursue the correct target language form.

“…Cognates are words derived from common ancient roots in related languages, from which phonetic correspondences can be found and phonetic variations can be derived (Fromkin & Rodman 2007:480) [3]. Even if they do not form strict correspondence in phonetics, based on the common Indo-European background, some languages have similarities in morphology, meaning and other aspects in cognate words.…”

This paper gives an overview of the development of comparative linguistics and Indo-European language family, and analyzes some cognates in Indo-European language family from the aspects of meaning, pronunciation and inflectional form based on comparative linguistics. It is expected to have a deeper understanding of the overall structure of Indo-European languages, and to better explore the development and basis of Indo-European languages.

“…Dialect is the systematic variations in how people speak the same language that attempts to have mutually comprehensible linguistic forms that differ systematically [6]. A dialect is not a degraded or lower form of a language because a language is made up of many variants of dialects.…”

This study investigated the regional dialect shift experienced by Tulungagung college students studying in Surabaya. The objectives of this study are to find out the different regional dialects between Tulungagung and Surabaya, the factors causing the students to experience dialect shift, the process of dialect shift happening, and the impact of applying dialect shift. The respondents are Tulungagung college students from various university backgrounds in Surabaya. A qualitative approach was adopted by using descriptive analysis. The results show that the Tulungagung college students experienced dialect shifts by using some expressions of Surabaya dialect to be mixed with their original dialect; social factors, attitudes, and values toward the dialect are the factors causing the students to experience dialect shifts. In addition, the students' dialect shift experiences are in various ways, starting as newcomers and adapting to the new society. Therefore, applying dialect shifts may lead to positive and negative effects. This study may help the researchers on the same topic by exploring deeper analysis within the different regional dialects to see if the results show the same patterns.
