Sažetak
The aim of this paperis to explore the developmental patterns in the acquisition of morphological phenomena in the interlanguage systems of Croatian primary school EFL learners. Developmental sequences in learner language morphology were observed longitudinally thus including learners across grades 6, 7, and 8. The data illustrate the use of morphemes (regular and irregular variants for the third person singular –s, the auxiliary verb BE, the present progressive ING) inobligatorycontexts (Brown 1973). Interlanguage development was examinedin accordance with theInput Processing theoryof VanPatten (2004). Samples of spontaneous speech production were elicited via communicative activities. The study findings suggest that the progressive ING is processed earlier due to its higher communicative value when compared to –s.
