Abstract Mother tongue transfer is considered to be an important factor in the foreign language learning. This thesis is based on the theory of language transfer, comparative analysis and other scholars’ research. The interference of mother tongue appears at all levels, including pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar and translation. Firstly, this paper focuses on introducing and elaborating the definition and categories of transfer. Secondly, the phenomena about the interference of mother tongue over English vocabulary acquisition will be analyzed through different examples. Besides, the paper also probes into specific causes of the interference phenomena summarized as the interference of the part of speech, lexical meanings and improper collocation. Moreover, study strategies of reducing the interference are proposed: enlarging the vocabulary, strengthening sensitivity to the differences and utilizing the positive transfer of mother tongue. Finally, the paper hopes to make English learners aware of those errors and avoid or correct them so that learners can improve the efficiency of the vocabulary acquisition.54643

1. Introduction
English learning has been a hot and popular trend nowadays. Then mother tongue transfer is considered to be of critical importance to English learning. But the role of mother tongue in a second language learning has been a controversial issue for a long time. Ellis thought the second language acquisition is strongly affected by the learner’s first language and classified language transfer into positive transfer and negative transfer (Ellis, 1994:19). And Lado found out that learners largely rely on their already acquired mother tongue and affirmed the transfer of mother tongue in the foreign language learning (Lado，1957：18). As Lado and Ellis put it, the transfer of mother tongue is inevitable but has certain research value. British linguist McCarthy once claimed “ no matter how well a student learns grammar, no matter how successfully he masters the sounds, without words to express a wide range of meanings, communication cannot happen in any meaningful way (Clark, 1993: 33). The famous linguist David Wilkins also pointed out, “Without vocabulary, nothing can be conveyed.” (Wilkins，1972：111), so vocabulary can be viewed as the foundation of language and play an important role in a second language learning. Learners are more likely to transfer language rules of mother tongue to the other language, thus they will find the interference resulting from the differences between two languages’ vocabulary. In view of such a situation, the differences will be analyzed in three aspects: the part of speech, the lexical meaning and words collocation in order to conduct a detailed study of the classic mistakes in the English vocabulary acquisition. In a word, this paper based on the theory of language transfer and comparative analysis analyzes the interference of mother tongue over English vocabulary acquisition and endeavors to seek practical and effective methods for most English learners to solve problems in the language learning.源`自,优尔`.论"文'网[www.youerw.com
