Abstract
The main aim of the paper is the analysis of errors in the use of nouns, as well as definite and indefinite articles at A1 and A2 levels of learning Romanian as a foreign language at the Faculty of Philosophy in Novi Sad. The goal of the paper is to determine which type of errors is more frequent, interlingual or intralingual, as well as the reasons that led to a certain type of error. The research was based on Selinker’s model, which includes: sample collection, recognition, classification, quantification, description and explanation. The corpus consists of final tests, colloquiums and oral exams. The results of the research have shown that the errors in the use of nouns are mostly interlingual in character, while errors in the use of definite and indefinite articles are intralingual in character. Errors in the use of nouns, definite and indefinite articles at the A1 and A2 levels can not be completely eliminated, but can be reduced by using special methods.
