Аннотация: В данной оригинальной статье подробно рассматривается ключевая
роль межъязыковой типологии в формировании эффективных стратегий
изучения иностранных языков и повышении переводческой компетентности.
Анализируются фонологическая, морфологическая, синтаксическая,
семантическая и прагматическая типологии, а также их значение для изучающих
язык и будущих переводчиков. В работе подчеркивается, что типология служит
не только описательной дисциплиной, но и важной теоретико-практической
основой для многоязычного образования и контрастивного анализа.
Ключевые слова : типология; межъязыковое сравнение; универсалии;
морфология; синтаксис; переводческая компетенция; многоязычное образование
