An Introduction to Linguistics
Teaching the Article in English
A formulation of English article structure based on the assumption that it is a sequence of quantification and determination rather than a choice between specified and unspecified is advanced. Four types of articles are discussed: (1) neither quantifier nor determiner, (2) quantifier only, (3) determiner only, and (4) both quantifier and determiner (e.g., some of the books). Six steps, more or less, are propounded for organizing materials for tea…
The Unpredictability of Contrastive Analysis
The hypothesis that contrastive analysis can serve to predict levels of difficulty that non-native speakers will have in learning English syntactic patterns is examined. Two tests of English syntax were administered to nearly 2500 Japanese students. The test results are compared to predictions of the relative difficulty of the test items that were derived from four different contrastive analyses. The comparison indicates that the contrastive anal…
Contrastive Analysis: Problems and Procedures
A contrastive analysis must proceed through four steps: description, selection, contrast, and prediction. Most analyses are weakened by insufficient care at one or more of these steps, each of which is beset with problems. A basis for making selections, a format for contrasts, and a means of relating contrast and prediction is suggested
