It is obvious that the studies reported above seem to provide at best partial analyss for the IL hypothesis. It furthers the University’s objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide. This article is also available for rental through DeepDyve. For him, the test of translation equivalence is the interchangeability of the items in a given situationp.
Halim rated it it was amazing Feb stephn, The presence of elements other than those due to interlingual interference is, though correct, not a criticism of CA per se.
Linguists have always been attempting to describe the types of errors committed by the language learners, and that is exactly the best way to start with, as it helps out the applied linguist to identify where the problem lies.
For instance, Newmark and Reibel contend that interference is an otiose idea and that ignorance is the real cause of errors. Firth, edited by Bazell, C.
A key finding of error analysis has been that many learner errors are produced by learners making faulty inferences about the rules of the new language. Although in the beginning CA, with its relatively sophisticated linguistic apparatus and the strong claim to predict a majority of errors in TL learning, seemed to condemn EA to obsolescence, as the claims of CA came to be tested against empirical data, scholars realized that there were many kinds of errors besides those due to interlingual interference that could neither be predicted nor explained by CA.
The Rationale for CA The rationale for undertaking contrastive studies comes mainly from three sources: Fries who firmly established contrastive linguistic analysis as an integral component of the methodology of TL teaching. It follows from this that “each of the analyst’s predictions as to the shape of IL utterances should be associated with one or more of these.
May Learn how and when to remove this template message. Immediate corrections can annoy the learners whose personality is not strong enough to perceive corrections as tools which enable them to improve and develop either the accuracy or fluency.
Bedrettin Yazan and Nathanael Rudolph eds: Furthermore, it cannot account for learner use of communicative strategies such as avoidancein which learners simply do not use a form with which they are uncomfortable.
The implications of transfer theory for TL learning are obvious. Xue-mei pointed out that Contrastive analysis hypothesis claimed that the principal barrier to second language acquisition is the interference of the first language system with the second language system and that a scientific, structural comparison of the two languages in question would enable people to predict and describe which are problems and which are not.
As long as we lack such procedures, the greater explanatory power claimed for IL will remain no more explanatory than that of the much maligned lists of errors organized into error types.

Error Analysis and Interlanguage
Please improve these citations so that sources are clearly identifiable. Critics of CA For convenience of discussion, we may consider the major criticisms of CA under two ahd The Methodology The prerequisite for any contrastive study is the availability of accurate and explicit descriptions of the languages under comparison. For example, in describing a scene in which an inanimate object e.
This concern is reflected not only in the way writers of pedagogical grammars draw attention to the potential “pitfalls” in the TL, but also in the many lists of “common errors” prepared by experienced teachers.
Error Analysis and Interlanguage by Stephen Pit Corder
Log In Sign Up. What this implies, therefore, is not that the CA approach should be thrown overboard, but that more rigorous research is needed stephej identify the precise conditions under which the TL learner utilizes the hypotheses developed on the basis of his experience with the first language.
Yet one may wish to at least speculate on the possible pedagogical implications of the recent studies, if only to generate controversy.
With pti advent of generative grammar, taxonomic CA, like taxonomic descriptive linguistics in general, has been criticized for its preoccupation with the surface structure of language d.
Hence, the object of EA is to describe the whole of the learner’s linguistic system and to compare it with that of the TL.
In particular, the teacher should give up the unreasonable expectation of TL performance from the learner from the very start. The Principles of Language Study. Also, error analysis can deal effectively only with learner production speaking and writing and not with learner reception listening and reading.
The chapters from the three conferences on CA held at Georgetown, Cambridge, and Stuttgart AlatisNickel a, Nickel b, respectively present scholars as, by and large, optimistic about the possibilities of CA. The Study of Second Language Acquisition.
Adibah rated it it was amazing Sep 02, Language learning strategies Communication strategies Code-switching Good language learner studies. According to Kachru, “deviations” are explainable in terms of the sociocultural context in which English functions in India, while “errors” are breaches of the linguistic code of English.
Third, to obtain information on common difficulties in Language Learning, as an aid to teaching or in the preparation of the teaching materials. Models of CA in the past have shown considerable cordr, and claims such as that variability analysis is the “Waterloo of CA” seem to be a bit premature at this point.
Dickerson’s use of the Labovian variability model to the study of TL acquisition is significant for at least two reasons: May 25, FerRy Anc added it.
