Definição e Significado de "fusional language"

What is a "fusional language"?

A fusional language is a type of language in which a single affix can express multiple grammatical meanings or functions, often blending different aspects of meaning into a single form. In these languages, the boundaries between morphemes can be less clear, and affixes may convey information about tense, number, gender, and case simultaneously. This can result in complex word forms that are not easily broken down into individual components. Examples of fusional languages include Russian, Latin, and Spanish, where verbs and nouns often change forms to convey a range of grammatical information within a single word.
