1. The document discusses the main types of linguistic typology: genetic typology, areal typology, comparative typology, and structural typology.
2. Genetic typology studies similarities and differences between genetically related languages. Areal typology examines linguistic phenomena distributed across neighboring languages due to language contact and cultural diffusion.
3. Comparative typology compares languages irrespective of genetic relationship to identify general typological features resulting from mutual influence. Structural typology aims to identify common structural properties of language systems.

DIVISION OF THE LINGUISTIC TYPOLOGY WITH
RESPECT TO THE OBJECT OF INVESTIGATION
Exercise 1. Answer the following questions.
1. What are the main types of typology? 2. Characteristic features of genetic typology: genetic, diachronic and genetic synchronic typologies. 3. What languages does areal typology study? Speak about the main specific features. 4. What are the main criteria, which characterize comparative typology? 5. Speak about structural typology as one of the basic branches of linguistic typology. 6. What does the term "linguistic universals" mean? Speak about its historic development.
Exercise 2. Complete the following definitions with the types of typology
1. is a branch of linguistics that studies (using the
methods of linguistic geography) distribution of linguistic phenomena in the spatial extent and interlingual (interdialectic) interaction. 2. is one of the branches of General Linguistic typology. It deals with comparison of languages irrespectively of their genetic or structural identity. 3. is a branch of linguistic typology, which studies the similarities, and differences of originally related languages. 4. is the major branch of Linguistic typology and aims to identify structural language types.
Exercise 3. Circle the correct answer.
1. Who said that Areal typology compares languages irrespectively of the
degree of their relatedness and aims at defining general elements formed as a result of themutual influence of languages and the cultures staying behind them? a. V.K.Ghak b. D.J.Buranov c. Yu.V.Rojdestvenskiy d. M.M.Guhman 2. What are the objects of study of Areal typology? a. borrowings, bi-lingual features, hybrid languages, language contacts b. dialects, centum/satem languages, compiling dialectal maps c. sub-stratum and super-stratum languages, neologisms, archaisms d. all answers are true 3. What does Areal typology study? a. dialects and restrictions of dissemination of separate features in the systems of related and non-related languages, theconfluence of different languages b. dialects and restrictions of dissemination of separate features in the systems of related and non-related languages c. dialects, centum/satem languages, compiling dialectal maps d. sub-stratum and super-stratum languages, neologisms, archaisms 4. What does Comparative Typology deal with? a. With distribution of linguistic phenomena in the spatial extent and interlingua (interdialectic) interaction b. with the similarities, and differences of originally related languages c. With the aims of identifying structural language types d. with acomparison of languages irrespectively of their genetic or structural identity 5. What is the goal of Structural Typology? a. To include discrete sound segments like p, n, or a, which can be defined by a finite set of sound properties or features b. to identify structural language types c. identifying common/similar features specific to systems of all or separate language groups d. to identify universal features of langauges
