Abstract
The phenomenon of transfer in plurilingual speakers has been in the focus of research in the field of psycholinguistics over the past three decades. Empirical research studies conducted in this area indicate that negative transfer is most pronounced in typologically similar languages. This paper analyzes errors in the construction and use of verb tenses and moods caused by negative transfer in Serbophone students learning Italian as L2 and Spanish as L3. The results of the research show that the largest number of errors is of interlingual and not intralingual nature, as well as that the errors occurred primarily due to interlingual identifications. The error analysis proved that transfer is created not only by similar word forms but also by similar grammatical rules. Also, it has been proven that the number of errors decreases with increasing levels of language competence in both L2 and L3.
