Contact Analysis of English and Persian Measure Words for Pedagogical Purposes.

Yarmohammadi, Lotfollah

International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, v18 n1 p1-20 Feb 1980

The syntactic distribution and behavior of five English and Persian "measure" nouns and their adjectives are compared. From this, errors attributable to transference and those due to inconsistencies in English are enumerated. A unified analytic model of Persian errors in learning English suggests useful teaching strategies. (PMJ)
