Exercise 3. Read the statements below and match them with the 
appropriate answers. 
Typology does not deal with a limited number of languages. If it does, then it 
should be called “characterology” or “comparative description. 
Material similarity means similarities of words that are similar in meaning and 
morphemes in compared languages. 
In the last seven or eight years, the “Port Royal Grammar” has been discussed 
more often in the English speaking world than at any other time since its 
publication more than three hundred years ago. 
Typology consists of structural, comparative and genetic typology. The task 
of structural typology consists of language universals, typological 
classification of the languages, typological theory and work out methods to 
create ethalon language. 
It would be wrong to identify comparative researches of two languages with 
typology.
