In oral and written forms of expression, language learners often demonstrate their susceptibility to deviations arising primarily from linguistic interference between the source language (SL) and the target language (TL). Previously conceptualised as interferential phenomena, deviations which have now assumed the nomenclature of crosslinguistic phenomena, are generally reviewed by linguists employing two major models: Error Analysis (EA) and Contrastive Analysis (CA). In this article, we assess both models with a view to suggesting which of them we consider to be more competent in dealing with crosslinguistic phenomena.
