What is "linguistic typology"?
Linguistic typology is the study of the similarities and differences among languages based on their structures and features. This field classifies languages into types according to various characteristics, such as word order, morphology, and phonology. Linguistic typologists examine how these features can help understand language development and evolution. By comparing languages from different families and regions, this field provides insights into the diversity of human language and the patterns that emerge across different linguistic systems.
