ABSTRACT

The Ba construction is a special sentence pattern in Chinese with specific features. There is no corresponding sentence pattern in Spanish. The Ba construction runs through every stage of teaching Chinese as a foreign language because it is difficult for learners whose native language is Spanish to master. Supported by error analysis theory, this paper, based on a current corpus and the daily homework of Chinese learners whose native language is Spanish regarding the use of the character Ba, carries out a quantitative analysis of biased errors in the use of Ba. Using the "surface strategy classification" approach, the biased errors are placed into five categories: ellipsis, annexation, analogy, wrong order and other. This paper analyses the causes of the biased errors from the perspectives of "interlingual bias" and "intralingual bias" and proposes feasible suggestions for the teaching of the Ba construction in Chinese as a foreign language with a focus on teachers, teaching activities and teaching materials.
