Researchers such as Swan and Smith (2001), Aarts and Granger (1998), Davidsen-Nielsen and Harder (2001), and Altenberg and Tapper (1998) work on mother tongue interference to reveal overused/underused words, part of speech (POS), or grammatical items.
very little is known about how strongly mother tongue interference is transferred to another language and about what relation there is across mother tongues.
