Seminar 2. Comparative typology as a branch of General Linguistics

►Classroom activities

Exercise #1. Round table discussion. Work in six mini groups and discuss these problems. In 10 minutes present your topic, after all, they make anoverall conclusion.

Exercise #2. Work in pairs. Discuss your opinions about types of language comparison. Make your own diagram to the following table. Present it to another team and complete it with new ideas.

E xercise #3a. Draw a picture, which comes to your mind about genetic typology for the following table.

3b. Present your picture to the group. Explain why do you think so?

►Home activities

Exercise #1. Complete the following definitions with the types of typology from the box:

1. 
   _______________ is a branch of linguistics that studies (using the methods of linguistic geography) distribution of linguistic phenomena in the spatial extent and interlingual (interdialectic) interaction.
   
2. 
   _______________ is one of the branches of General Linguistic typology. It deals with comparison of languages irrespectively of their genetic or structural identity.
   
3. 
   _________________ is a branch of linguistic typology, which studies the simi­larities, and differences of originally related languages.
   
4. 
   _________________ is the major branch of Linguistic typology and aims to identify structural language types.
   

Exercise #2. Circle the correct answer.
