What is it about?
many observed difficulties in L2 can be traced back to lack of knowledge, on the part of teachers, of certain abstract linguistic concepts. In this paper, two English constructions (constructions with Object pronouns and DP-internal concord) claimed to be problematic for the learner/teacher in the absence of any linguistic knowledge will be investigated in terms of their abstract properties. The implication is that such linguistic knowledge will speed up the process of learning.

Why is it important?
The findings suggest that Linguistics and pedagogy are indeed closely interrelated.
Perspectives
The distinction between theory and application and linguistics and language teaching has always generated disagreement among scholars. I hope this article will contribute to resolving the issue.
