Lecture historical background of typological investigations Problems for discussion

The fifth factor is theinfluence of lexicography. The appearance of dictionaries was bound with applied need to transform and compare languages and national cultures. While compiling bi- or multilingual dictionaries a lexicographer conducts a comparison of all levels of language hierarchy: phonetic units, grammatical structure, lexical units, word formation, punctuation, etc.

With the help of above mentioned statements, the tasks of Comparative Typology can be outlined so:

• the problems of comparative investigations of all aspects of the language including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, lexicon, and phraseology of related and non-related languages from linguistic and linguadidactic viewpoints;
• the problem of categorization in linguistics;
• investigations in the sphere of Comparative Stylistics;
• investigations in the sphere of Comparative Lexicology;
• Language and intercultural communication;
• revealing national-cultural features of related and non-related languages;
• correlation and integration of semantics, word-building, syntax, stylistics and functional semantics on the base of text linguistics in typological aspect (or in comparison).
