Abstract

The interlanguage of second language French learners presents certain regularities that provides a formal framework within the context of the Applicative Combinatory Categorical Grammar. To illustrate an example, we examined the object clitic pronouns that appeared in a corpus of texts by scrutinizing the different facets of these pronouns. A formal analysis was then proposed. The ultimate goal of this research is to establish an automated system for processing learners’ interlanguage in terms of the Applicative Combinatory Categorial Grammar.
