Abstract
Many second language acquisition (SLA) studies are conducted with large amount of language data. To explore the features and trends of SLA from the perspective of English learners, studies based on learner corpus are in great demand. Therefore, taking advantage of discourses in a learner corpus and a reference corpus, this research focused on the similarities and differences in the use of enumerative connectives in English writing between Chinese English learners and native speakers so as to identify the characteristics of the interlanguage of Chinese English learners. It was discovered that there was a significant difference in the use of enumerative connectives between Chinese English learners and native speakers, which was further believed to be intensely connected to the cognitive processes that shape interlanguage linguistic systems.
