ENGLISH CONTRASTIVE STUDIES - TOMASZ P KRZESZOW...

Contrastive linguistics has a much longer history than is commonly assumed in the literature on
the subject. This monograph is an account of contrastive studies conducted in England and
documented in written materials originating between the middle of the fifteenth century and the
end of the eighteenth century. These materials show that contrastive studies were conducted
systematically  covered a large scope of language data in various languages  and occasioned a
number of theoretical and methodological issues  anticipating those that have constituted the
mainstream of modern contrastive studies. Among them were negative and positive transfer  with
the accompanying efforts to counteract the former and utilize the latter  as well as the
notorious difficulties with establishing the necessary tertium comparationis  though not
expressly formulated  inevitably hovering in the wings  and occasionally prompting new
methodological techniques.
