definition of typology

[Raffaele Simone]

Vaste programme!, dear colleague. This is so everywhere in linguistics. This depends on the very nature of the discipline (a proto-science, in G.-G- Granger's terms), not on the malignity of individuals. Il faut s'y rendre! Everything is typology, nothing is typology!
Best,
R Simone

  Subject: definition of typology


  Dear Typology colleagues, reading journals on typology I came to a conclusion that different linguists and edotors understand typology in their own way. It especially concerns editors who may return a manuscript on the pretext that it is not on typology. Therefore, it occurred to me to discuss the term "typology" in order to realise how it is understood in modern linguistics. Looking forward to receiving your definitions to yutamb at mail.ru  Yours sincerely Yuri Tambovtsev
