Aviva Rosin has written: 'THE VALUE OF CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS A PRIORI IN PREDICTING INTERFERENCE IN LEARNING THE SYNTAX OF A FORIEGN LANGUAGE'
Transformational generative grammar and contrastive analysis both focus on comparing and contrasting different languages to understand their structures and systems. Transformational generative grammar seeks to uncover the underlying universal principles that govern language structure, while contrastive analysis compares the target language with the learner's native language to predict and explain potential difficulties in learning. Both approaches strive to enhance linguistic understanding and language learning processes.
Contrastive analysis helps identify potential difficulties that learners may have in acquiring a new language by comparing their native language with the target language. It highlights areas where interference from the native language may occur, allowing teachers to provide focused instruction to address these challenges. Additionally, it can help learners understand the similarities and differences between languages, which can enhance their language learning experience.

Contrastive analysis compares languages to predict potential areas of difficulty for language learners based on the differences between the learner's native language and the target language. Error analysis, on the other hand, focuses on analyzing errors made by language learners to understand the underlying causes, such as interference from the native language, overgeneralization of language rules, or interlanguage fossilization. Both approaches aim to improve language learning and teaching by identifying linguistic challenges and providing insights for effective instruction.

Who? What? Where? When? How? and also Why? are the questions.
Contrastive analysis helps learners identify similarities and differences between their native language and the target language, which can aid in understanding linguistic structures and avoiding interference errors. It can also inform teaching strategies by highlighting areas where learners may struggle or excel based on their first language. Additionally, it can promote cultural awareness and understanding by exploring how language reflects different worldviews and social constructs.
