Análisis contrastivo. La dialéctica de la igualdad y la diferencia

The contrastive method compares two or more elements, categories or structures within the same language or interlinguistically, identifying similarities and differences to establish complementarity relationships as a basis for their integration into more comprehensive and abstract schemes that account for the functional constancy in the structural variation. In the history of linguistics a model based on a particular language has often been used to describe the structure of other languages. The same has happened in the ontogenetic and pedagogical domains. The contrastive analysis helps to lay the foundations for an off-centered description that reconciles structural variation with functional constancy. The results of the contrastive analysis must be the basis of typology, and at the universalistic level typological variation must be integrated into more general schemes called operations. The four descriptive levels interact in a inductive deductive circle, forming an integrated program.The contrastive method compares two or more elements, categories or structures within the same language or interlinguistically, identifying similarities and differences to establish complementarity relationships as a basis for their integration into more comprehensive and abstract schemes that account for the functional constancy in the structural variation.

La historia de la lingüística se ha caracterizado hasta la actualidad por utilizar un modelo descriptivo basado en una lengua particular para describir estructuras de otras lenguas. Lo mismo ha ocurrido en los dominios ontogenético y pedagógico. El método contrastivo contribuye a sentar las bases para una descripción descentrada que concilia la variación estructural con la constancia funcional. Los resultados del análisis contrastivo son la base de la tipología, y en el nivel universalístico se integra la variación tipológica en esquemas más generales llamados operaciones. Los cuatro niveles descriptivos interactúan de manera circular siguiendo dos principios, uno inductivo y otro deductivo, formando un programa integrado.The contrastive method compares two or more elements, categories or structures within the same language or interlinguistically, identifying similarities and differences to establish complementarity relationships as a basis for their integration into more comprehensive and abstract schemes that account for the functional constancy in the structural variation.
