A linguistic analysis of english according to the neo-khalilian theory at the lexical and supra-lexical levels and its contribution to the teaching of english.

Abstract

This study, entitled "A Linguistic Analysis of English According to The Neo-Khalilian Theory at The Lexical And Supra-Lexical Levels And Its Contribution to The Teaching of English", aims at presenting and discussing the neo-khalilian theory and its concepts, before it considers its applicability to the analysis of one aspect of English grammar, namely the English tense forms. The study also investigates the ways in which this analysis can be translated into teaching materials specifically designed for Computer Assisted Language Learning. Thus, we suggest a computer application labelled SCHEME TESTER whose algorithm is based on this description to validate these linguistic patterns and to propose a tool for the teaching and learning of English tense forms.
