Abstract

This study analyses the use of prepositions (production and errors) in the speech of forty learners of Spanish and compares it with the usage by native speakers. Data belong to a learner corpus of oral interviews with university learners from more than nine language backgrounds at intermediate level (A2 and B1). Our methodology is Learner Corpus Research (Computerassisted Error Analysis and Contrastive Interlanguage Analysis). The paper describes the error analysis of our corpus, in which errors hardly decreased in B1.
