Interferential linguistic phenomena and positive transference (English, French and Italian)

The object of our study was the interference processeswhich occur in the educational conditions of the formation of multilingualism. Following V.A. Vinogradov, by interference weunderstand the interaction of language systems in terms of multilingualism, with uncontrolled transfer of certain structures or elementsof one language to another. Interference appears within closely related languages or languages of the same language group.The main purpose of the study is determining the causes and conditions of interference while studying several foreign languages.The target requires solving the following tasks: identification of the specific closely related language contacts; revealing of the featuresof interference of the languages under study; linguistic analysis of the research material. The study is based on the spontaneousspeech of the students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages of Tomsk State University who learn several foreign languages. Thephenomenon of interference is possible at any linguistic level: graphic, phonetic, lexical, derivational, morphological, syntactic. Animportant factor of presence or absence of interference is the level of linguistic competence of a student. In the study, we noted thatinterferential linguistic phenomena are actively manifested in the speech of students who speak foreign languages at a low level. Thestudy of features of students oral and written forms of language confirms that the interaction of all foreign languages at all levels isthe most active area of interference and positive transfer. The interference process is the interaction of the native, first, second andthird foreign languages. During the process of speaking a foreign language, the human brain turns to a different, often contrary to thehabitual, system of reproducing connections, where the language with more stable features has the dominant position compared tothe newer language.
