Abstract

This thesis is concerned with the question of the applicability of transformational-generative grammar to the teaching of French verb morphology and French interrogative structure. Past theories of Language learning and acquisition are reviewed in order to see how they correlate with and affect methodology. Then, the implications of the theory of transformational-generative grammar to language learning are studied and an effort is made to apply it, bearing these implications in mind, to French morphology and syntax. The advantages and disadvantages of the application are pointed out, and determinations are made as to the direct applicability of transformationalgenerative grammar to the teaching of French verb morphology and interrogative structure as well as to foreign language teaching in general.
