- Abstract
The occurrence of errors in the foreign language learning process is something that is common in the foreign language learning process. This is because the logic of the learner’s language still has a dependency on the logic of the mother tongue as a form of the process of mother tongue interference. An event like this also happened to beginner-level Mandarin learners at the Chinese Language Education Study Program, State University of Surabaya. Language errors in students occur more often at the level of syntax where, at this level of syntax, the logic of language has indeed become more complex. So, the purpose of writing this article is to analyze and describe forms of linguistic errors at the syntactic level in discourse texts written by students.
