註釋English language difficulties encountered by adult ESL learners have been well documented, and the extent of and reasons for such problems have been the impetus for a variety of theories about second language (L2) acquisitional processes, as well as comparisons with established first language (L1) principles. The concept of interlanguage (Selinker, 1969; Corder, 1971) attempts to explain L2 idiosyncrasies and changes that are observed as a language learner progresses toward greater L2 competency. It is generally agreed that interlanguage can be influenced by L1, L2, and/or universal/developmental language factors to varying degrees over the time of increasing competence. The purpose of this study was to record the productions of onset consonant clusters/sequences in words by adult ESL learners (a structure not found in the learners' L1), and determine if/how the data conformed to relevant L1/L2 factors and specific universal principles.
