    MORPHO SYNTACTIC INFLUENCE OF L1 (PUNJABI) ON L2 (ENGLISH) IN ESL CLASSROOM IN PUNJAB
    (UMT, Lahore, 2022) Sarwar Khan
    The present Study investigates the Morpho Syntactic influence of LI (Punjabi) in the learning of L2 (English) as second language in ESL classroom in Punjab. It also focuses on the different types of influences at Morpho Syntactic level, the graduate learners show while acquiring L2. It further focuses out the impacts of cross linguistic influence at Morpho Syntactic level i.e. at structural level, prepositional level, clause level, and influence at subject- verb agreement, noun, pronoun, article, adverb, conjunction level and at syntactic level. Moreover, it explores the first language interference in the formation of syntactic patterns of target language. The study also discovers hegemonious hold of mother language in the making of morphological formations of source language. Cross linguistic influence is a major factor in the field of second language acquisition. It has many serious side effects on the process of learning of target language.
