B. Purposes:
The fundamental and applied objectives have traditionally been
attributed to contrastive analysis:
Providing insights into similarities and differences between languages
This purpose is to know the differences between 2 languages, for
example:
English Turkish
bekledi
He Waited
beklemis
In English, has regular past tense suffix /ed/, but in Turkish
distinguishes between definite past tense /di/ (is used if the speakers
know, as a result of personal observation, that the reported event has
taken place) and narrative past tense /mis/ (used if the speaker has not
himself witnessed the reported action)
B. Purposes:
Richards et al (1992) mentioned the study of errors are used in order to
(1) identify strategies which learners use in language teaching, (2) identify
the causes of learners ,errors, and finally (3) obtain information on
common difficulties in language learning as an aid to teaching or in
development of teaching materials (cited in Khansir 2008).
