eng	Syntactic Functions of Non-Finite Verb Forms in a Learner Corpus of Spoken Discourse	The aim of this paper is to present some findings resulting from the analysis of a small learner corpus of spoken English. Major attention is paid to the frequency of non-finite verb forms in their varied syntactic functions. The results are compared with corpus findings presented in Biber et al (1999 ) and also assessed according to contrastive interlanguage analysis (CIA), (Granger, 2009), which can help us estimate the possible influence of the learners´ native language (L1), Czech. The CIA analysis is based on the typological differences between the students´ L1 and L2 (Mathesius, 1975, Knittlová et al, 2010, Dušková et al, 1988, to name a few ). The third aim is to suggest possible innovations in advanced language teaching/learning of the English language. By reducing the L1 transfer, the students´ performance could become closer to English native speakers´ norms.	learner corpus; spoken English; non-finite verb forms; syntactic functions; L1 transfer
