analyze
The core idea of comparative analysis
Theoretical Hypothesis: Language Transfer
Native language interference = error cause
Difference = Difficulty
Comparative analysis
Compare the differences between native language system and target language system
Prediction/Explanation Error
Two perspectives on comparative analysis
Strong talk
Emphasis on the predictive power of comparative analysis
Native language interference is the main or even the only cause of difficulties and errors
Learner difficulty = difference in (language, culture...)
Weakness theory
The function of comparison is not to predict, because mistakes are inevitable
The function of comparison is to explain the causes of bias

Steps and difficulty levels of comparative analysis
step
description
Detailed description of the learner's native language and target language system
choose
Comprehensive errors identify language items that cause learners learning difficulties
Compare
Conduct detailed analysis and comparison of selected language projects to find commonalities and differences
predict
Predict areas where learners may make errors in the learning process based on comparison.
Difficulty level
phonetic components are the same in both languages
Two items in the mother tongue are combined into one item in the target language
A language item in the mother tongue has no corresponding form in the target language
A certain language item in the mother tongue has a corresponding item in the target language, but there are differences in form and distribution
A language item in the target language has no corresponding form in the mother tongue
A language item in the mother tongue is divided into two or more language items in the target language
Limitations of comparative analysis

A reappraisal of comparative analysis
The meaning of comparative analysis
Contrastive analysis remains a good starting point for observing and analyzing learners' language systems
Controversial issues in comparative analysis
Theoretical basis of contrastive analysis—native language transfer
New consensus on mother tongue transfer (Corder1978)
Language transfer is not a simple behavioral process, but a psychological process with active participation.
Language errors are caused by many reasons, and native language interference is only one of them.
Language transfer is not optional, and denying mother tongue transfer is unrealistic.
Language transfer is more likely to occur when the two languages are relatively similar.
When learners do not have enough knowledge of the second language, they will use the knowledge of the first language to understand the second language to achieve communication purposes.
When, under what conditions, and how does the mother tongue influence second language acquisition.
