Contrastive Analysis
Contrastive Analysis对比分析Step 1 DefinitionContrastive Analysis is the study and comparison of two languages. It helps us to distinct what needs to be learned and what does not need to be learned in a second language acquisition.Step 2 The goal of Contrastive AnalysisThe goal of Contrastive Analysis is to predict what areas will be easy to learn and what areas will be difficult to learn.Step 3 Analyze the native language and the second language As we all know, Chinese are our native language and English as our second language. So here, I will mainly analyze the learning of Chinese and English from several aspects.A.The universality between the learning of Chinese and EnglishThe foreign linguistics once pointed that listening and speaking occupy the 70 percent of the studying of any kinds of language, while reading and writing are only 30 percent. In a word, the language learning should listen and speak firstly, and then start to read and write. Therefore, we should associate the listening and speaking with reading and writing in language learning.The general characters between Chinese and English learning state that Chinese plays important roles in the course of English languageacquisition, though we don’t have enough about what roles it actually plays. The study of the roles that Chinese plays is known as the search of LANGUAGE TRANSFER.However, Chinese may have positive or negative effects on the learning of English. Therefore, there are both positive transfer and negative transfer. For example,➢Chinese: 我喜欢英语。

Two Types of Transfer
• Negative Transfer (负迁移) Errors arise from analogy. 类推会产生错误。 • Positive Transfer （正迁移） Errors decrease by analysis. 分析能减少错误。
We could turn negative transfer (interference) into positive (facilitation) by making analysis on differences between the two languages and arouse the learner‟s awareness of avoiding or reducing errors from analogy. 我们可以通过分析两种语言的差异，提高学生避免 或减少类推错误的意识，把负迁移（干扰）转化为正迁 移（促进）。

英语中单个的形容词、名词作定语一般放在所修饰的名词
前面，短语或从句作定语一般放在所修饰的名词后面，译成汉语 时，英语的定语无论在前还是在后，一般要放在所修饰的词前， 但有时两种语言都有例外。

Contrastive Analysis语言学中的对比分析
Differences between Chinese and English:
As for the same thing, Chinese and English give a different name because of their different focus. Generally, black is equivalent to “黑”， and red is to “红”.
Contrastive pragmatics ----Analysis needs to consider not only linguistic contrasts but also pragmatic contrasts such as the similarities and differences in the stylistic uses , cultures , and other communicative networks.
Introspective data:
a kind of data involving the subject reflecting the kinds of decisions they make and the kinds of strategies they use while carrying out a task, and reporting them as they occur.
Basis assumptions
L2 learning involves overcoming difficulties in the linguistic systems of the target language. The main difficulties in learning a L2 are caused by interference from the L1. CA can predict , or at least account for , difficulties in L2 learning. Teaching materials based on contrastive analysis can reduce the effects of interference and difficulties , and facilitate L2 learning.

The Moderate Version: 折中派 Oiler & Ziahesseiny (1970)
它是强硬派与温和派的折中。他们认为 根据观察到的异同对抽象或具体的语言 成分进行分类是学习的基础。二语学习 中最大的困难既不是语言间明显的相似 处，也不是明显的不同处，而是两种语 言的细微差别。当存在这些细微差别时， 干扰就会增大，由此构成了二语学习的 困难。
Outline
Definition of CA Theoretical bases and basic assumptions 3 versions of the CA hypothesis Procedures Applications
Lead-in Questions:
According to your learning experience, what grammatical items are more difficult to learn in English? And what do you think are easier? Why?
Possible difficulties (In terms of Grammar):
Plural forms Subject-predicate agreement in person and number use of articles use of modal verbs Attributive Clause, etc. Because we don’t have such grammatical phenomena in Chinese.
The
conviction that linguistic differences could be used to predict learning difficulty gave rise to the contrastive ananysis hypothesis: Where two languages were similar, positive transfer would occur; where they were different, negative transfer , or interference, would result.

Contrastive linguistics英汉对比研究概念
Contrastive linguistics 对比语言学a branch of linguistics which studies two or more languages synchronically, with the aims of discovering their differences and similarities(especially the former) and applying these findings to related areas of study.Particular attention should be paid to similarity on surface but difference in nature.Contrastive linguistics is also known as “contrastive analysis”(CA) or “contrastive studies”. These three terms are largely interchangeable.a linguistic systemis made up of many layers or levels. These layers or levels are often considered to form a scale or hierarchy from lower levels containing the smallest linguistic units to higher levels containing larger linguistic units. So we have, from the lowest to the highest, suc h levels as phonetic level, phonological level, morphemic level, lexical level, syntactic level, textual level and pragmatic level.Features of the two typesTheoretical Contrastive Study. It is language independent.. It looks for universal categories in languages.Applied Contrastive StudyIt is language dependent.It is part of applied linguistics.The major task of it is to identify probable areas of difficulty.Psychological base of CA is behaviorism which was introduced by skinner which viewed first language acquisition as the formation of new habits acquired through repetition and strengthened by the reinforcement of correct responses.Linguistic base of CA is structural linguistics which believed that first learning may interfere second learning.tertium comparationis (TC) 共同对比基础/第三对比项/中间对比项TC: a third thing related in some way to two things: sth. intermediate between two things –criterion for comparison;common basis on which comparison can be made;presupposed similarity between languages against which differences can be meaningfully stated.A synthetic language is “characterized by frequent and systematic use of inflected forms to express grammatical relationships” 人工语言Derivation generally brings about three types of changes: changes in word form, in part of speech (word class), and in meaning. 派生Affixation: add prefix and suffix to a root 附加Reduplication: double part of or all of a root 加倍，重复Modification 1) vowel change 2) suppletion (total modification) 3) stress change 4) tonal modification 修改Affix deletion (back-formation)：delete a supposed affix in a long word 词缀删除Abbreviation 缩写synonymy: sameness or close similarity of meaning 同义hyponymy: relationship between a more general, inclusive word and a more specific word) 上下义semantic compatibility: overlapping of part of meaning 语义兼容semantic exclusion: exclusion of meaning 语义排斥Morphological processes: ways of word formations 形态过程Referential Meaning 参考意义vs. Associative Meaning 联想意义Inflectional morphology 屈折形态inflectional categoriesgender, number, case, tense, aspect, voice and moodsynthetic language 综合语: inflection, funtional words and word orderanalytic language 分析语: word order, functional wordsCategories for syntactic description1. unit: morphemes, words, phrases, clauses and sentences2. structure: arrangement of elements in a unit (syntagmatic relation 横组合关系).3. class: type of elements which can be used to fill in a specific slot in a unit.4. system: group of elements that can fill in the same slot (paradigmatic relation between elements 纵聚合关系)Hypotaxis: The dependent or subordinate construction or relationship of clauses arranged with connectives. 形合Parataxis: The arranging of clauses one after the other without connectives showing the relation between them. 意合英语五种基本句型列式如下：基本句型一：SV（主＋谓）基本句型二：SVC（主＋系＋表）基本句型三：SVO（主＋谓＋宾）基本句型四：SV oO（主＋谓＋间宾＋直宾）基本句型五：SVOC（主＋谓＋宾＋宾补）text is not a random gathering of sentences but a semantic unit ranging from a sentence or even a word and phrase to a piece of work as long as they have texture including cohesion and coherence. Cohesion refers to the property of being a text created by the use of the linguistic features or resources language has for creating texture. 黏连性Coherence refers to the underlying semantic and logical connection between concepts expressed in the text. 连贯性Pragmatics 语用学It is concerned with the use of language, i.e., how the speaker conveys and the hearer understands the utterance in a certain situation.A locutionary act is the act of uttering words, phrases, clauses. It is the act of conveying literal meaning. 言内行为An illocutionary act is the act of expressing the speaker’s intention. It is the act performed in saying something. 言外行为A perlocutionary act is the act performed by or resulting from saying something. It is the consequence of, or the change brought about by the utterance. It is the act performed by saying something. 言后行为古典修辞学把劝说性演说的写作过程分成5个阶段：invention（觅材取材）arrangement（布局谋篇）style（文体风格）memory（背诵记忆）delivery（演说技能）这5个阶段也是演说的5个基本要素（常称作五艺）。
contrastive analysis名词解释题
contrastive analysis名词解释题Contrastive analysis (对比分析) is a linguistic theory that aims to predict and explain the difficulties a learner may encounter in acquiring a second or foreign language by comparing the similarities and differences between the learner's native language and the target language.1. Contrastive analysis suggests that language transfer occurs when a learner transfers linguistic elements or patterns from their native language to the target language.对比分析认为，语言迁移是指学习者将自己的母语中的语言元素或模式转移到目标语言中。
2. The contrastive analysis hypothesis suggests that similarities between the native language and the target language facilitate language learning, while differences may result in errors or difficulties.对比分析假设指出，母语与目标语之间的相似之处有助于语言学习，而差异可能会导致错误或困难。
3. For example, in contrastive analysis, if a learner's native language uses a subject-verb-object word order, they may have difficulty understanding and producing sentences ina target language that has a different word order, such as subject-object-verb.例如，在对比分析中，如果学习者的母语使用主谓宾的语序，他们可能会在目标语言中产生困难，因为目标语言的语序可能是主宾谓。
