This project studies the word orders of adjective and noun and adverb and verb in a Chinese learner’s interlanguage and compares the word order features with the corresponding features in Chinese. It shows significant evidence of the subject’s “NA” word order in his interlanguage. Features of the interlanguage which conform with neither the subject’s first language nor with the target language are related to the topic prominence of the inter language.
