Description
This thesis is concerned with the question of the
applicability of transformational-generative grammar to the
teaching of French verb morphology and French interrogative
structure. Past theories of Language learning and acquisition
are reviewed in order to see how they correlate with
and affect methodology. Then, the implications of the
theory of transformational-generative grammar to language
learning are studied and an effort is made to apply it,
bearing these implications in mind, to French morphology
and syntax. The advantages and disadvantages of the
application are pointed out, and determinations are made
as to the direct applicability of transformationalgenerative
grammar to the teaching of French verb morphology
and interrogative structure as well as to foreign language
teaching in general.
