Abstract
This paper deals with the analysis of typical errors in song lyrics in English made by Croatian performers. The results of the paper show that the musicians tend to accommodate their language to best suit and attract a wider range of audience. In this attempt of language manipulation, Croatian musicians opt for the English language, despite it being a foreign one, due to its widespread use and popularity. If one is to observe this transitional language between the performers’ mother tongue and target language, one would notice many sociolinguistic cues that provide a useful insight into the singers’ cognitive processes that take place in language production. This interlanguage used tends to be erroneous and therefore provides a useful pointer to constructions problematic for second language learners and to their success in second language usage. Some typical error types are the usage of slang, inappropriate word choice, inappropriate constructions and the usage of articles, which corroborates the previous research, with which the results are compared, and the hypothesis about the performers’ tendency to use the widespread, familiar register for their addressees.
