二语习得研究经常使用与目的语相关的分析概念（如强制性语境、错误等）。这表明，这种做法可能是一个严重的障碍，调查有关学习者的语言性质的关键问题。Tarone、Frauenfelder和Selinker（1976）为研究中介语的系统性和可变性问题而提出了一个框架，在对该框架的调查中，这种做法所造成的困难被称为“比较谬误”。他们的框架被证明会导致不正确或不揭示的系统性分析，并模糊中介语的特征。这些缺陷被证明是比较谬误的结果。
Studies of second language acquisition often employ analytical concepts defined relative to the target language (such as obligatory context, error, etc.). It is demonstrated here that this practice can be a serious obstacle to the investigation of crucial questions about the nature of learners' languages. The difficulties caused by this practice—called here the “comparative fallacy”—are illustrated in an investigation of the framework proposed by Tarone, Frauenfelder, and Selinker (1976) to study the issue of interlanguage systematicity and variability. Their framework is shown to result in incorrect or unrevealing analyses of systematicity and to obscure the character of the interlanguage. These defects are shown to be the results of the comparative fallacy.
