GELORMINI, Carlos. CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS AND MENTAL GRAMMAR IN SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION. Lingüística [online]. 2022, vol.38, n.2, pp.141-148. Epub 01-Dez-2022. ISSN 2079-312X. https://doi.org/10.5935/2079-312x.20220019.
The goal of this note is to offer a critical review of the contrastive analysis hypothesis within the field of second language acquisition. The notions of interlanguage, universal grammar and mental grammar are discussed. Transfer is redefined as the output of underlying rules in the grammar of a second language. Through Jackendoff’s notion of a mental grammar we reconcile the contribution of structural and generative grammar to the understanding of the phenomenon of transfer.
