This article discusses the phenomenon of interlanguage in the process of second language acquisition. A number of researchers claim that the interlanguage can be characterized by fundamental features like fossilization, systematicity and simplification. This article also addresses the problem of significant psycholinguistic processes which influence the evolution of interlanguage.
