Following the founding of the Association for Linguistic Typology (ALT) in 1994, the launching of the journal Linguistic Typology under the auspices of ALT is another sign that typology is internationally consolidating its position.
Typology is simultaneously about the diversity and uniformity of this universe.
What typology thrives on is variation across languages; but what makes the typologist's day is co-variation, the discovery that logically independent variables have identical values in one language after another, or at any rate do not show all logically possible combinations of values.

To identify a typology of juvenile sex offenders and examine the different treatment needs of the heterogeneous juvenile sex offender population.
The typology of juvenile sex offenders will clarify differences between subgroups of offenders and serve as a guide for comprehensive decisionmaking in individual cases, thus facilitating identification of the appropriate treatment or detention strategy.
There is a need to develop a typology of juvenile sex offenders to facilitate the judicial decisionmaking process and provide appropriate treatment interventions so that juvenile sex offending does not become part of a vicious cycle.

 Puritan Typology
Based on an ancient hermeneutic method (Hebrews 10:1), typology is the interpretation of Old Testament events, persons, and ceremonies as signs which prefigured Christ's fulfillment and new covenant with the apostolic church.
Typology involves identification both of a type or figura, a figure, concept, ceremony, or event as an Old Testament precursor, and an anti-type, a New Testament historical figure or event that follows and fulfills the promise of the type.
Typology was used extensively in sermons, conversion narratives, and poetry, including that of Edward Taylor.

 Introduction of Biblical Typology
For the purposes of this class, typology (or typological symbolism) is a Christian form of biblical interpretation that proceeds on the assumption that God has placed anticipations of Christ in the laws, events, and people of the Old Testament.
Within the discipline of typology the use of proof-texting, or the use of Scripture to solidly ground and verify one's thesis, has tended to have fallen to the way-side in favor of the "big idea" approach which seeks to compare and contrast the thought or intent of the biblical writers.
Nevertheless, a typology that doesn't follow the precepts of the biblical text, or the themes that are progressively developed throughout the Bible are given to speculation, and ultimately, allegory.

 "Typology: A Summary Of The Present Evangelical Discussion" by W. Edward Glenny
I will attempt to explain typology as it is understood by representatives of each of these views and then demonstrate how each view would (or would not) apply typology to explain the relationship between Israel and the Church.
Proper understanding of typology informs us that even if the NT interprets the OT typologically and even if we are to do so, that does not allow us to ignore or cancel the meaning of the type or substitute the meaning of the antitype for it.
Probably the most controversial and innovative aspect of Davidson's theory of typology is his belief that types are predictive and that there must be some indication of the existence and predictive quality of OT types before their antitypical fulfillment - otherwise they cannot be predictive.

 4 Text typology
The development of an adequate text typology for interpreting is important for educational purposes in the training of interpreters, as well as the theoretical development within interpreting research.
This in turn helps us to build a typology of the texts delivered at a conference, and more particularly, their thematic progression, which is especially important for the operation of the probability prediction mechanism on the semantic level (Alexieva 1985:196-197; 1994; cf.
Text typology, on the other hand, is the theoretical categorisation of texts into different types according to certain characteristics.

 The categorization and Disambiguation of Biblical Typology   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Typologies in the Bible are clear and simple, and this quality is part of their beauty.
A generation ago a widespread interest in the study of typology prevailed; latterly the interest has largely subsided, chiefly because of the vagaries and extravagances which attended its treatment on the part of not a few writers.
I intend to explain the categorization of Biblical typology, not only according to the cognitive categorization structure models of man, but also to demonstrate that the actual word "typology" is a term we have also given to describe the recognition of an incredibly complex and wholistically divine cognitive structure.

 Dan Sherer: Typology and Its Vicissitudes
Whereas figural typology refers to a design process articulated without visible contradiction at the level of the particular elements, conbinatory typology implies a design method formulated at the level at which wholes relate to parts while subjecting the latter to a logic which may initially seem antithetical to them.
Yet it is at the level of concrete urban experience, not at the level of abstract combinatory relations, that typology plays its first truly modern role, one in which the forms of the past find themselves not so much violated or transgressed as transvalued and resemanticized.
This standard, the rule of typology, remains an ideal type unchanged and unchanging over time; yet at the same time it permits processes of accretion, disturbance, and modification to gradually alter the body of the city -- processes emerging between form and history that we have come to identify with architecture itself.

 A Typology of Media
The result of this analysis is a typology of media which contrasts computer conferencing and other computer media with a broad array of interpersonal and mass media, including newspapers, magazines, movies, radio, television, letters, face-to-face communication, and the telephone.
Although the placements of real-time interactive and correspondence media in that typology are similar to the one developed in this chapter, the two characteristics it uses, potential recipients and potential for feedback, are insufficient to the task of differentiating broadcast media from distribution media.
These relationships are complex, and the informal typology may be easier to understand than the formal typology, but the formal typology is probably to be preferred as a better summary explanation of the relationships between media.

Typology is an interpretive method developed early in Christian history; its purpose is to relate the events of the Old Testament to the events of the four gospels, i.e.
Typology was neither literal exegesis concerned only with the past historical events themselves, nor allegorical exegesis which treated past happenings only as symbols to be spiritually interpreted.
Typology recommended itself to the Reformers as an ideal method for regulating spiritualization, since it stressed the literal-historical (as opposed to a purely allegorical) level of exegesis, and then proceeded to impose the scriptural pattern upon the self, in accordance with the concept of exemplum fidei.

 Toward a Typology of Sacrifice   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A typology of sacrifice, then, must be pragmatic, psycho-social, and ideological; those are the features of consciousness which appear to be involved in the sacrificial institutions of antiquity.
The entire purpose of proceeding by typology is to be aware of categories of phenomena, without characterizing those phenomena in advance.
Indeed, the divine may be defined from the perspective of sacrificial typology, not as a "being" or "beings" to be postulated, but as that in relation to which sacrifice is said to take place.

While acknowledging the role of language universals—recurrent tendencies in structure and function—research in linguistic typology at UCSB concentrates on the ways in which languages differ from one another, because this tremendous diversity helps us to understand the full range of what language can be.
Linguistic typology at UCSB participates in a strong two-way relationship with language documentation.

 Quodlibet Online Journal: An Attempt to Establish an Historically Accurate Definition of Typology   (Site not responding. Last check: )
This unity was traditionally understood to be established on the grounds of prophecy, typology, and a general agreement and development of doctrine found throughout the various authors of the canon.
Similarly, though with less fanfare, typology was deemed an archaic hermeneutic incompatible with the presuppositions of the critical age due to the former's explicit reliance upon divinely instituted prefigurations within the historic sequence.
For the criteria of strict typology thus set forth does not seem to allow for the notion of "partial fulfillment", which is the operating assumption behind any typology which both claims to understand the type as fulfilled, yet extends that completion of that fulfillment into the future.

 Cognitive Typology
The linguistic discourse with the framework of typology is hence characterized by a certain reluctance to systematic superstructures that would formulate a deductive theory to approach the empirics of typology.
Yet, the specification of the term typology normally yields at a given method applied to typology, not at the theoretical foundation of the discipline itself, cf.
Consequently, a possible superstructure of typology should not be typology itself, but something that covers the typological approach as well as other domains of linguistic derivationalism, among them those mentioned in (8) of your handout.
