- Abstract
The main focus of this paper is to present the general research procedures that any contrastive analyst should normally follow while working on the comparison between languages. The reasons for choosing this topic include: (i) some identified gaps on methodological aspects of the up-to-date contrastive linguistic research; (ii) increased number of the contrastive linguistic research with Albanian language being compared versus a large number of other foreign languages; (iii) lack of formation and training on the contrastive linguistics, both at the university and post-university level. The central part of the paper describes the methodological procedure adopted by the most prominent contrastive linguists such as R.Lado, W.Nemser & V.Ivir, T.Krzeszowski, P.Pierini, Ch.Fries, R.Whitman, M.Anwar, E.Zuanelli Sonino, C.James, R.Ellis, M.Gómez- González & S.M.Doval-Suárez, N.R.Garcia etc., as of mid 1950s up to date, as well as the necessary steps or phases which a linguistic contrastive analysis should go through. The author of the paper concludes with a set of practical tips to be considered during the linguistic contrastive research.
