Сomporative typology

But linguist L. Grigorieva declared that the confrontative linguistics is theoretical, while the contrastive linguistics is practical.

Z. Gergieva put forward the idea that "Confrontative linguistics is a field of science that studies the similarities and differences of languages, and contrastive linguistics deals only with the differences in languages."

However, G. Helbig commented that this view was inadequate: “It is not enough to study language using only contrast approach for fixing a second language teaching methodology. Failures in learning a second language are caused not only by contrast features (apparent contradictions) but also by the common features of the languages. ”

Contrastive linguistics

Contrastive linguistics has a special place among other branches of linguistics. Because it studies languages in a synchronic aspect. It is important to note that Contrastive linguistics is primarily of practical nature, that is, this discipline has practical purposes, and most importantly linguadidactic. This is the main difference between contrastive linguistics and other linguistic disciplines involved in comparative study of languages.

The purpose of contrastive linguistics

The purpose of contrastive linguistics is to identify the similarities and differences in the subsystems of different languages. Usually crossing subsystems of the language (for example, verbs of action in English and Uzbek) are studied separately, and then the results of the research are summarized.

Comparative-historical linguistics

Comparative-historical linguistics is the first linguistic field which put comparison under a scientific basis.

The object of comparative-historical linguistics is to identify the convergence of cognate languages and to describe the evolution of these languages in time and space. The purpose of this field is to restore original forms for cognate languages.
