I. SYSTEM/STRUCTURAL IDENTITY
The scholars who contributed to elaboration of major parameters of Linguistic ty­pology are Roman Jacobson, Vazlav Skalichka, Joseph Greenberg, Boris Uspenskiy, Yuri Rojdestvenskiy, Vladimir Ghak, etc.
System/Structural identity implies identity of language types. Here we should distinguish between type of language and type in language.
a) The type of language is related to structural/typological classification of lan­guages is meant. The most popular classification of language types includes: agglu­tinating, flexional, isolative and polysynthetic languages. These types are identified based on the unity of leading structural features;
b) The type IN language is related to the structural features typical for a certain language. E.g. the degree of synthetism/analytism of grammatical forms, presence. of phonetic changes (fusion (neib - neicy), agglutination inclusion/ exclusion of grammatical morphemes.
II. GENETIC IDENTITY
The Genetic identity means historically conditioned material identity of cross language elements characterized by both etic and emic identity (mother (Eng) Muter (Germ); “ona” (uzb.) – “ene” (azer); of the
same group of Turkic languages.
