INTERLANGUAGE (ENGLISH-UZBEK AND ENGLISH- RUSSIAN) SPECIFICITIES
Keywords:
The process of learning a second language (L2) does not occur in a vacuum; it is heavily influenced by the learner’s first language (L1).Abstract
This article explores the concept of interlanguage and its specific manifestations among Uzbek and Russian learners of English. Interlanguage is an evolving linguistic system that learners construct on their path to mastering a second language. The article provides a comparative analysis of the phonological, grammatical, and lexical features of English as used by native speakers of Uzbek and Russian. The study reveals how differences in native language structures shape distinct interlanguage patterns and how this knowledge can inform language teaching practices.
