Introductory remarks
In the following discussion, the term language instruction is used in the sense of teaching the manipulation of language mechanics. This enables the student to produce grammatically correct sentences and strings of sentences in response to any given sentence meaning or string of sentence meanings and to understand the cognitive meaning of any given sentence formulations. The skills he practises during foreign language instruction thus correspond to the content of those rules in a transformational grammar which are not contained in the base (Chomsky 1984) and to their inverse.
