A Brief Reappraisal of Contrastive Linguistics

Selinker, Larry

Studia Anglica Posnaniensia, 4, 1-2, 15-21, 72

Two questions, what is a contrastive grammar, and what is comparable across linguistic systems, are touched on. The problem of the exact relationship of contrastive linguistics to linguistic theory is addressed. Two perhaps mutually exclusive views are discussed. See FL 508 197 for availability. (Author/RM)
