Summary/Abstract: The article describes the role that a learner’s native language plays in his second language acquisition. It is based on the results of an analysis of morphological errors performed on a corpus of papers written by Slovene students of Polish Philology at the University of Ljubljana. The results show that students make numerous errors caused by negative language transfer. The conclusion is that the analysis of these mistakes may help predict and eliminate some of them.
