ABSTRACT
The influence of the first language on the production of a second language is well documented in
linguistic studies. It has been proven that a person's mother tongue plays an important role in
their ability to use and produce a second language. A person's first language serves as the
foundation for their second language, providing a basic understanding of grammar and structure,
as well as the ability to understand and use certain words and phrases. When someone learns a
second language, their native language often forms the basis of their understanding of the new
language. For example, if someone is learning Spanish and speaks English as their first language,
they are likely to use English words and phrases to express themselves in Spanish, because they
are already familiar with the structure of the language. Also, a person's first language can give
them a better understanding of how a second language works, because they can easily recognize
patterns in that language. However, the influence of the mother tongue on the production of a
second language is not always positive. In some cases, a person's first language can interfere
with their ability to use and produce a second language. This is especially true when someone is
trying to learn a language that is very different from their native language. For example, if
someone is trying to learn Japanese, but their native language is English, they may have difficulty
expressing themselves in Japanese due to the grammatical and structural differences between
the two languages.

1. INTRODUCCIÓN
La investigación de este fenómeno puede ser un instrumento valioso para ayudar
a estos estudiantes a avanzar en la adquisición de una segunda lengua, en este
caso particular, el inglés. Para ilustrar este fenómeno, se realiza el siguiente
análisis desde las diferentes miradas de autores reconocidos en este campo y
que han realizado importantes aportes al desarrollo de la adquisición del lenguaje

, teniendo en cuenta la interferencia y transferencia lingüística que se produce
al llevar a cabo fuera de producción en L2.
Por un lado, la interferencia L1 en L2 que experimentan los estudiantes de inglés
afecta una producción coherente y precisa, al no utilizar el lenguaje propio en el
que se realiza la producción, tanto hablado como escrito. Según Singleton
(1999), las influencias interlingüísticas afectan los aspectos formales y
semánticos de las palabras involucradas en este fenómeno.
Dado que la descripción de este trabajo gira en torno a la interferencia y
transferencia lingüística, como se mencionó anteriormente, la mayoría de los
