Universal versus Language-Specific Tests
Yarmohammadi, Lotfollah
English Language Teaching Journal, 29, 1, 65-68, Oct 74
A language-specific test-item is one which includes a distractor which is a predictable mistake made by Persian speakers, and determined by syntactic and lexical contrastive analysis of Persian and English. The term 'universal' is used for a test-item which does not contain contrastive distractors as defined here. (Author)
