Значение аналогии для лингвистики
The significance of analogy in linguistics

Summary/Abstract: The present article describes the language means of the functional semantic field of aspectualism, comparing both Russian and Estonian. The analysis is based on the analogy as the most general principle of scientific perception that can also be used as a certain research method. It provides an opportunity to ascertain such interlanguage correlations that are hard to notice in case of a simple descriptive juxtaposition. Besides a common functional semantic subject (aspectualism), the principle of the hierarchy of language and character of correlations – equivalence, contrast, difference, functional identity have been taken as a basis for highlighting the correlations and their interpretation. It results in a multi-dimensional comparative model based on the principle of analogy. Finding the functions of analogous linguistic expressions between the various languages and their description is a natural foundation for the upbuilding of foreign language teaching.
