Abstract

Since the number of the German learners, who possess Chinese as native language and a certain level of English competence, ascends nowadays significantly, it is of great importance to research the pattern of their German as second language acquisition, especially the language transfer while learning German. This case study focuses on German as second language acquisition of native Chinese with English competence. Through analyzing the article of German interlanguage in the view of cognitive linguistics, the research indicates that the language transfer from L2 English is profounder than that from L1 Chinese and that the language distance plays an essential role in the language transfer.
