systems of different related and non-related languages. The fact is 
undisputable that lexicographic work of a two languaged dictionary, at 
the same time, is a work on comparing languages. In dictionaries 
general and constant ______ of words are given with maximal 
exactness (accuracy), even if those languages are non-related. Without 
typological reference books or preliminary _______ dictionary may not 
be valuable. 
 
Activity 3. 
Read the statements below and choose whether they are 
True or False. 
1.
Differing from the typologist the translator goes out of these 
regularities, as the least important thing for him is to convey the definite 
meaning in the other language. 
2.
Under the plan of content we consider two kinds of meanings: I) 
abstract grammatical, 2) concrete lexical meanings. 
3.
Concrete peculiarities relating the comparative typology to the 
theory of translation are following: 1) common character of the plan of 
content; 2) identity of the process of comparison; 3) interlevel 
correspondence; 4) indifference to the genetic relationship. 
4.
Literal translation of the text can be made only by preserving 
regularities of the system correspondence. 
5.
The theory of translation possesses: 1) the freedom of choice and 
2) distinctions in the plan of content. 
6.
The concrete lexical meaning is expressed by means of words, 
phraseological units but grammatical meaning can not be expressed by 
connecting affixal morphemes to the root morphemes or stems.
