Abstract

The objective of the paper is mainly about the analysis of the lexical errors caused by negative transfer of the native language that occur in Chinese EFL writing. Lexical errors in the paper mainly refer to the conceptual or semantic errors in lexis where the subjects use the forms that exist in a target language, but these forms do not represent the meanings they wish to express. The lexical errors mainly involve three types, that is, errors in word choice, errors in derivation and those in collocation. Based on the findings of the research, the three issues are examined in an effort to seek implications for EFL learning and teaching in China.
