Comparative typology 
Comparative typology, being one of the independent sections of the 
linguistic typology, considers a limited number of languages. Minimum 
comparison limits can be reduced to binaries. A comparative typology identifies 
cross-lingual invariants of a selected unit of the content plan. It should be noted 
that, despite the large number of works in this area, the main methods of analysis 
and general principles of comparison have not yet been developed. Comparison 
of two languages belonging to different structures and families, became possible 

---

only after languages and subsystems of languages began to be compared. 
Comparative typology determines the typological similarities of the languages of 
the most diverse genetic groups. It may highlight some commonality, or 
isomorphism in a system of a limited number of languages. Due to the limited 
number of languages being considered, comparative typology cannot identify 
linguistic universals. However, the results obtained by studying systems of a 
limited number of languages can be used by structural typology to identify 
linguistic universals. Comparative typology develops a system of each language 
individually regardless of the variety of linguistic phenomena. The identification 
of the corresponding means of a comparative typology can be multi-tiered, while 
the structural typology proceeds from the unary complexity of isomorphic 
phenomena.
Comparison of two or more language systems is based on already known 
materials of the system of each compared language separately. In this case, the 
characteristic features of units of each level are taken into account both 
individually and in relation to units of other levels. The initial process in this case 
is to compare the systems of two languages. Usually two languages are selected 
from different family groups as representatives, and further the number of 
languages increases. Unfortunately, currently there are no generally accepted 
terms on comparative typology. For example, works on comparing language 
systems are called: “comparative”, “contrastive”, “confrontational”, 
“translational”, “characterological”, “typological”, and etc. The method adopted 
in the proposed study guide, is called comparative-typological and the 
corresponding section of the linguistic typology - comparative typology, which 
is opposed to structural, genetic and areal typology. In this work the term 
“comparative typology” selected in accordance with the academic discipline 
comparative typology of the native and studied foreign language. Between 
sections of linguistic typology there are many common features that serves as the 

---

basis for complementarity and mutual enrichment of these sections. At the same 
time, each of the sections has their features, on the basis of which they differ. 
The general goal of linguistic typology is the definition of language types, 
the identification of the main methods of comparing language systems. On this 
basis, genealogical and morphological classifications of world languages were 
carried out, such types of languages were identified, as inflectional, agglutinating, 
insulating and incorporating. Structural typology addresses general issues within 
an unlimited number of languages, genetic typology limited to comparing 
systems of genetically limited languages, the areal typology chooses the 
languages of a certain range, and finally, the comparative typology studies 
systems of a limited number of languages.
