Abstract

This study describes the interlanguage in French produced by the students. The main objective of this study is to argue that the students the abstract structure containing morphosyntactic features that can be realized by overt morphology or abstract morphemes. Two approaches explain the relationship between structure and overt morphology or abstract morphemes. First, the Morphology Before Syntax (MBS) which emphasizes that if the relevant morphemes are not mastered, the structure will not be formed. Second, The Syntax Before Morphology (SBM) which confirms that the structure has been mastered by the students even though irrelevant morphemes fill the structures. The results of the analysis show that the SBM can explain the structure in both convergent and divergent sentences. The object of this research is simple French sentences made by the students of the A2 level of French in the context of acquiring French as a foreign language.
