− | == 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'''
