Description
Summary:This paper investigates the influence of intralingual and interlingual factors in making errors related to the use of English phrasal verbs by Croatian learners of English. The first part of the paper contains theoretical background on phrasal verbs, intralingual and interlingual errors and errors in general, as well as on relevant research connecting errors and phrasal verbs. The second part presents the results of 51 questionnaires answered by 3rd year students of the BA program in English language and Literature. Student errors are analyzed in order to connect them with intralingual or interlingual factors. The results have shown that students equally make errors based on intralingual as interlingual factors, and that the majority of students can not recognize the errors in the ‘correct the mistake’ task. Rad se bavi istraživanjem unutarjezičnih i međujezičnih faktora koji utječu na pravljenje pogrešaka prilikom uporabe engleskih frazalnih glagola. Prvi dio rada objašnjava teorijsku pozadinu frazalnih glagola, unutarjezičnih i međujezičnih pogrešaka kao i pogrešaka općenito te relevantnih istraživanja o pogreškama i frazalnim glagolima. Drugi dio predstavlja rezultate 51 ankete koje su radili studenti na trećoj godini preddipomskog studija engleskog jezika i književnosti. Pogreške studenata su analizirane kako bi se utvrdio mogući utjecaj unutarjezičnih i međujezičnih faktora. Rezultati su pokazali da studenti podjednako prave pogreške zbog unutarjezičnih i međujezičnih utjecaja te da većina studenata ne može prepoznati pogreške kada se od njih traži da ih sami isprave u zadatku.
