Description
This thesis presents an overview of the paths taken
by the proponents of contrastive analysis and error analysis,
addressing specific positions held and studies done in
these two areas of linguistics. A brief historical survey
of linguistics, learning theories, and teaching strategies
is given, dating from pre-structuralism through to poststructuralism.
Following a discussion of contrastive
analysis and its influence on the development of error
analysis, the merits of interlanguage are discussed for
the purpose of demonstrating its very vital contributions
to the field of second-language learning.
