Phonology, morphology, syntax.
What are the two main approaches to Contrastive Linguistics?
学び始める
Theoretical and applied.
What is the purpose of the theoretical approach in Contrastive Linguistics?

学び始める
Two words that differ by only one sound in the same position and have different meanings.
Give an example of a minimal pair in English.
