Abstract

In this article importance of comparison of language units for linguodidactic purposes will be discussed. One of the founders of contrastive linguistics in Uzbekistann was U. Yusupov. He had several works proposing contrastive linguistics as a separate subject, not as a part of typology. One of the main aims of this subject is to compare language units in order to find similarities and differences which facilitate or interfere while learning any language. Some examples from Uzbek, Russian and English languages are given.
