Main problems and directions; different points of views; 3. Terminology used in Comparative Linguistics; 3. Different viewpoints on classification of Comparative Linguistics. Key terms: Linguistic and Non-Linguistic Typology, Substantial and Non - substantial comparison, Internal approach and External approach to language description; Panchronical, Synchronical, Diachronical approaches to language description Text of the lecture 1 The term “Typology” came from the Greek language in its origin: “typos” means type, “logos” means science. The science about comparison is very ancient. Its historical development is very interesting and very disputable at the same time, because different scholars have their own understanding of this problem. First let’s discuss what Comparative Linguistics studies, what is its subject matter, then we’ll turn to the historical background of the subject. Many linguists define subject matter of Comparative Linguistics as a science which studies all types of languages in comparison. There are very many scientific works devoted to investigation of comparison of two or more related and non-related languages. The problem is in the used terminology by different linguists for this purpose. There are very many viewpoints concerning this problem.

The first group of linguists (Санжеев Н.Л., Супрун А.Е., Чантуришвили С.А.) consider that Comparative Linguistics belongs to Linguistic Typology. The second group of linguists (Гухман М.М., Успенский В.А., Рождественский Ю.В.) сonsider that Comparative Linguistics is not the part of Linguistic Typology. The reason is that Comparative Linguistics reveals with limited number of languages. In the process of comparison of related and non-related languages closeness of Comparative Linguistics and Linguistic Typology is to be observed. Сomparison of related and non-related languages can be concerned to comparative typological investigations or simply to Comparative Linguistics. That’s why Comparative Download 306.55 Kb.
