The Complexity and Accuracy of Noun Phrases with Modifiers in Written Productions of Learners of Romanian as a foreign language. The paper analyses the complexity and accuracy of noun phrases with modifiers in a corpus of 84 written productions by learners of Romanian as a foreign language of different L1 backgrounds. The analyzed samples are short (70-80 words), descriptive texts written by students at level A2 in Romanian. The adjective constructions present in this corpus are classified according to their complexity as well as to their typology (constructions with descriptive adjectives, with pronominal adjectives, and mixed), while their accuracy is scrutinized from two different perspectives: word order and noun-adjective agreement. A statistical analyses of the frequency of certain types of errors is offered for each group of learners that share the same linguistic background. Moreover, the data obtained from the written productions of an individual group of L1 speakers is compared to that of the others in order to highlight possible implications in teaching and assessing Romanian as a foreign language.

Keywords: noun phrase, modifier, adjective, accuracy, complexity, statistical analysis, Romanian as a foreign language, learners of different background.
