Abstract

Language transfer has been a controversial topic in the field of second language acquisition. In recent years, scholars from home and abroad have studied the language transfer from different perspectives. They believe that language transfer is a complex cognitive process. Transfer is divided into positive and negative transfer, positive transfer is similar between native language and the target language while negative transfer refers to the interference between L1 and L2. Since the negative transfer of mother tongue on vocabulary can not be avoided, so this paper focuses on the types of lexical errors caused by negative transfer so as to reduce the influence of negative transfer, it also puts forward some suggestions to improve the negative transfer effect on learner's vocabulary, so as to improve the students' English level and learning efficiency.
