A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MORPHOLOGY AND SYNTAX IN ENGLISH AND BANGLA

Abastract: The process of acquiring one's first language (L1) is a natural phenomenon in which individuals unintentionally acquire their native tongue (L1). In contrast to first language acquisition (L1), the acquisition of a second or foreign language (L2) is a cognitively driven process in which learners actively engage in purposeful efforts to acquire the language. Therefore, second language (L2) learners have several problems in second language acquisition (SLA), such as interference from their mother tongue or first language (L1), analysis of errors, development of an interlanguage or learner's language, consideration of learners' age, motivation, provision of positive feedback, and other related factors. This research examines the morphological and syntactical similarities and differences between English and Bangla, focusing on synchronic, diachronic, and grammatical viewpoints. Hence, this research contributes to the improvement of second language (L2) learners' understanding of English or Bangla, as well as their ability to overcome problems in second language acquisition (SLA).

摘要：母语（First Language, L1）习得是一种自然现象，个体可在无意之中掌握本族语。与母语习得（First Language Acquisition, L1）不同，第二语言或外语（Second/Foreign Language, L2）习得是认知驱动的过程，学习者会主动开展有针对性的语言学习活动。因此，第二语言（Second Language, L2）学习者在第二语言习得（Second Language Acquisition, SLA）过程中会面临诸多问题，例如母语（或第一语言）的干扰、错误分析、中介语（学习者语言）的形成、学习者年龄与学习动机的影响、正向反馈的提供以及其他相关因素。本研究从共时、历时与语法视角，考察英语与孟加拉语之间的形态与句法异同。因此，本研究有助于提升第二语言（L2）学习者对英语或孟加拉语的理解能力，同时帮助其克服第二语言习得（SLA）过程中遇到的各类问题。
