Dativul posesiv românesc și problemele achiziției sale la studenții din Serbia

Un studiu preliminar

Abstract

Starting from a comparative perspective on Romanian and Serbian grammar, this paper deals with the acquisition and use of the Romanian possessive dative by students with L1 Serbian, who study Romanian as a foreign language. Various structural and functional differences between Romanian and Serbian account for the difficulties incurred
by students when it comes to correctly producing the dative external possessive in Romanian. We propose a preliminary experimental study meant to analyze the degree and role of transfer in the acquisition of the structure, as well as the developmental differences between beginner, intermediate, advanced and heritage students.
