I’m a cognitive scientist, specializing in language, at Queen Mary University of London. I teach an Intro to Latex course each year from incoming graduate students. I’ve undertaken several substantial editorial jobs in latex and am always looking to improve my tex skills.

comment the future-existence of a currently “nonexisted” object
The phrase non-existed isn’t very English-sounding. Maybe you want nonexistent or non-existing?

comment about pronunciation of 'g' at end of words
Various Australian accents pronounce something and anything as with a final [k], i.e., a devoiced [g] (e.g., somethi[ŋk]).

comment Syntax, contrastive analysis
@Mitch, my first hunch (as a comparative syntactician) was also that it just meant comparative syntax. But it turns out that “contrastive analysis” was a theory in its own right (chiefly applied to second language acquisition). As such, the field may have had areas of syntax or methods that were particularly prominent. If so, then that’s what the question(er) is after.
