GRAMMATICAL ERRORS IN WRITTEN POLISH MADE BY UKRAINIAN-SPEAKING STUDENTS – A LAPSOLOGICAL CORPUS STUDY

The article presents the research on grammatical errors made by Ukrainian-speaking students learning  Polish as a foreign language. The analyses constitute an example of a lap-sological corpus study. Their aim is to characterise inflection and grammatical errors  excerpted  from written assignments produced by Ukrainian learners. The  knowledge of errors – their quality and quantity – allows for stating the parts of Polish grammar which are the most difficult for this group of learners and, subsequently, designing teaching aids and  techniques  which  take  into  account  the students’ particular needs. The results of the research – especially the number of interference errors – lead to an unambiguous conclusion – the need to teach Polish to Ukrainians in the contrast of their first language.
