| − | ==== Mutual Favourability of Fixed Word Order and Arcitles ====
| |
| | | | |
| − | * The '''Isolating''' (Analytical) type of language, i.e. English, has, as one of its defining properties, an abundance of function words
| |
| − | * This fact leads to no need for many word endings because many of functions which in other types of languages might require a large amount of word endings are dealth with via '''grammatically fixed word order'''
| |
| − | * The abundance of function words, including a substantial amount of monosyllabic ones, leads to a heavy '''dependance on vowels to distinguish the words'''.
| |
| − | * That leads to a '''large amount of simple naming units''' which leads to conversion or word classes being commonplace as well with the lexicon being only weakly organized by means such as affixation.
| |
| − | * Another feature is occurence of prepositional cases and embedded clauses.
| |
| − | * Ultimately, infinitives and possessive constructions exhibit prepositions and '''articles have the form of function words'''

| − | ==== Inflection Suffices With a Single Ending X Agglutination Languages Require Several Affixes ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Agglutination grammatical '''affixes are not differentiated''' from the derivational ones
| |
| − | * Inflection languages have in their stem alterations implied '''accumulation of functions''' in their endings (which express case, number and gender or person, number, tense and mood)
| |
| − | * The accumulation of functions opens up possibilies for the '''inflection languages to convey the topic/focus articulation via word order as opposed to the agglutination languages'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===== How is this reflected on phonetic level? =====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Agglutination languages produce much longer '''polysyllabic words''' and thus their '''reliance on vowels''' is '''lower''' which leads to possibility of '''vowel harmony'''
| |
| − | * Inflection languages are more reliant on vowels than agglutination languages.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===== What is the typological relevance of grammatical gender? =====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Genders are in agglutination languages absent as is congruence.
| |
| − | * Because of the functions of inflection endings the adjectives, which have their endings as well, express congruence as well as gender.
