WHAT IS GENETIC TYPOLOGY ?

Genetic typology is a branch of ComparativeTypology, which studies the similarities, and diversities of originally related languages. Genetic typology developed from the Comparative-historical linguistics that dominated during the 19th century in Europe. It started with the works of Jacob Grimm, Franz Bopp, Rasmus Rask, Alexander Vbstokov, V.M.Jirmunskiy, etc.

Its origin was stipulated by the discovery of Sanskrit, the ancient classical language of India. The discovery of Sanskrit disclosed the possibility of a comparative study of languages. The concept of relative languages was confirmed by the existence in India of a sisterhood of familiar European languages: e.g. Sanskrit «mata» means «mother», in the accusative case «matarum».Dvau-two, Trayah – three. As ti - he is, etc. Genetic Typology compares the systems of languages in two ways: diachronically and synchronically.

AND WHAT ABOUT AREAL TYPOLOGY?

Areal typology is one of the independent branches of linguistic typology, which compares language systems and studies the degree of expansion and proximity of language properties which are geographically conditioned.

".Objects of study include borrowings, bi-lingual features, dialects, centum/satem languages, compiling dialectal maps, sub-stratum and super-stratum languages, neologisms, archaisms, hybrid languages, language contacts, etc. Like Genetic typology, Areal typology operates with special systems or models with the help of which areal isogfosses of different languages are clarified.

THE THIRD ONE IS COMPARATIVE TYPOLOGY

Comparative typology is an independent branch of Comparative Typology. It deals with the comparison of languages irrespectively of their genetic or structural identity. Comparative typology operates with a limited number of languages and the minimum number of these languages maybe as little as two.
