This approach to language mechanisms, based on contrastivity ans comparison of languages, was developed by the French linguist and didactician Professor Henri Adamczewski.The results of more than twenty years of theoretical linguistic research in English grammar are published in Grammaire Linguistique de l'Anglais ( 1982; GLA).
