Objectives of Contrastive Linguistics:In Parallel with Foreign Language Teaching

Search this article

Abstract

König and Gast (2009) contrast English and German in terms of phonology, morphology, and syntax to clarify grammatical subsystems, describe the properties of each cognitive system, and examine external factors and effects of second language acquisition. This review considers the advantages and disadvantages of the contrastive linguistic approach, comparing König and Gast(2009) with similar studies; Tarvainen (1985), Whitley (2002), and Nose(2010a). By choosing English as the candidate for contrast, we can apply educational and more typological knowledge, while noting the risks of English-based analysis.
