In this regard, given its role as ‘global language’, English will be fruitful for the purposes of Contrastive Analysis and its didactic implications insofar as it will serve as a bridge language for a micro-typology in which it is systematically contrasted trilaterally with Italian and German. In particular, the chapter will focus on two case studies taken respectively from the temporal-aspectual domain, and the morphosyntax of subjects and objects.","PeriodicalId":333868,"journal":{"name":"Contrastive Studies in Morphology and Syntax","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132448492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
