| The identity of the comparison process
Comparative typology and translation operations fall into two stages. A
typological operation consists of two stages: (a) abstraction, or typologization,
and (b) correspondence or transformation.
The translation process also takes place in stages. The initial stage is the
stage of understanding someone else’s text, the stage of preparation for
translation, i.e. analytical, abstracted process. The second stage is the stage of
implementation of the data of the first stage, the synthetic stage.
As for machine translation, it is also carried out in stages: stages of analysis
and synthesis, or operations of choice and operations of transformation. The first
stage is linguistic, which coincides with the first stage of operations performed in
a comparative typology, since typological operations also involve the process of
abstraction, or typologization. The second stage of translation operations involves
synthesizing the results of the linguistic stage, with further correspondence, or
transformation. The results obtained in the process of typological analysis are
used in machine translation, because it is impossible to build machine translation
without a systematic description of languages.
However, many data obtained as a result of typological operations may be
insufficient for machine translation, and vice versa, the results may be redundant
for a comparative typology (for example, various codes, formulas, algorithms,
programs, etc.).
