20世纪60年代以来,第二语言研究理论发展迅速、不断深入。对比分析作为二语习得研究中的重要理论方法,虽然长期遭到学术界的批评,但总体上来说,它的作用还是正面的和积极的。本文通过对对比分析的概念、起源、发展、类型、原则、局限性等方面的分析,充分肯定了其实际操作在中国外语教学中的作用,有利于中国外语教学的发展。 Since the 1960s, the theory of second language research has developed rapidly and continuously. Comparative analysis, as an important theoretical method in the study of second language acquisition, has long been criticized academically, but its role is still positive and positive on the whole. Through the analysis of the concepts, origin, development, types, principles and limitations of comparative analysis, this paper fully affirms the role of its actual operation in foreign language teaching in China and is conducive to the development of foreign language teaching in China.
