Corpus-based Analysis of the Use of the Passive Voice by Armenian Learners
Journal Title: European Journal of Teaching and Education - Year 2023, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The concept that learners' first language (L1) influences their second language (L2) acquisition and production is employed in a variety of studies on English language learners.However, so far, no research has been carried out on the Armenian learners of English. The fundamental question that this paper tries to answer is whether these theories apply for Armenian learners too, considering the specific features of the Armenian language. To this end I have identified the use pattern of the passive voice by Armenian learners in contrast to native speakers, aiming at revealing the influence of the Armenian language. The research is based on the contrastive interlanguage analysis of native speakersâ corpora (LOCNESS) and Armenian learnersâ corpora (compiled by me in accordance with ICLE guidelines). The results yielded suggest that the pattern of Armenian learnersâ use of the passive voice is drastically different from the native onesâ and that their L1 did have an impact on their production of passive voice.
