This study discusses the development and eventual rejection of Contrastive Analysis, which emerged in the 1950s as a strategy for comparing specific languages and predicting the difficulties students would experience in learning them. Using an historical perspective, the paper traces initial enthusiasm for Contrastive Analysis, along with related unsupported pedagogical applications, one of which was the audio-lingual method. The link between structuralist linguistics and behaviorism is noted, and the process of Contrastive Analysis is described. The questionable predictive claims of Contrastive Analysis are analyzed and discussed, and the later modifications of the theory described. The possible utility of Contrastive Analysis in phonology is recognized, as is its total absence of semantic application. The paper details how Chomskyan concepts of language acquisition and deep structure forced a complete revision and eventual discrediting of Contrastive analysis. Noted are concomitant findings from language acquisition research, which also influenced the demise of Contrastive Analysis. 11 Contrastive Analysis And Translation Study From A Corpus Linguistics Perspective by María Ángeles Gómez Castejón.
