This article aims to identify syntactic contexts and elements in which many cases of non-target nominal agreement occur. It also aims to identify psychocognitive, social and linguistic aspects that allow different trends of learners of the Portuguese as foreign language. The study is driven based on the primacy of meaning principle when processing input and on the principles of later learning of languages. Data comprise syntactic structures with deviations of nominal agreement written by 10 groups of learners of the Portuguese language in African, Asian and European Universities. Quantitative and qualitative analysis reveals that majority of non-target nominal agreement involves noun phrases used as direct object and complementizer of a preposition and sentences with predicative of the subject. Different trends revealed by groups of Korean and German learners suggest that, among other aspects, word order of each language plays a relevant role for the occurrence of deviations in certain contexts.
