With reference to Swahili, a Bantu language spoken in East and Central Africa, this paper examines how second language learners compensate for their target language deficiency in communication. This is done within the One to One Principle of interlanguage communication which specifies that an interlanguage should be constructed in such a way that an intended underlying meaning is expressed with one clear invariant surface form. The examples considered here are taken as support for the claim that second language learners, just like first language acquirers, operate with a principle that expects the target language rules to be exceptionless and also to relate clearly to meaning. It is further concluded that target language aspects that do not adhere to one-to-one mapping between semantic elements and surface elements are problematic to the learners and are seemingly acquired late.
