Linguistic typology


 

Linguistic typology is the typology that classifies languages by their features. Linguistic typology includes morphological, syntactic (sometimes "morphosyntactic"), and phonological typology. Typological classification of languages contrasts with the more familiar genetic classification into families that share an ancestor language (see historical linguistics). A genetic class is a language family, while a typological class is a language type. Research in typology—in the ways in which languages vary—often overlaps with research in linguistic universals—in the ways in which they don't vary.
