Don't Shoot My Dodo: On the Resilience of Contrastive and Error Analysis.

James, Carl

IRAL, v32 n3 p179-200 1994

This article examines recent research in the areas of contrastive analysis (CA) and error analysis (EA) as they apply to second-language learning, focusing on redefinitions and modifications of the concepts of language "transfer,""error," and "native speaker." It argues that both CA and EA remain vital components of applied linguistics and language teaching. (89 references) (MDM)
