units, typology of the morphological level units, typology of the lexical
level units, and typology of the syntactic level units separately.
Basic notions of typology are:
1) language type;
2) isomorphism, allomorphism;
3) language
universals;
4) model language.
1) Language type is a stable set of interrelated relevant features. (The
category of case in Uzbek and Russian presupposes free word order.
The absence of this category in English presupposes fixed word order.)
There are 4 types of languages:
• Inflected(Russian):
1. In these languages affixal morphermes are polysymantic, for ex.
широкий:
the affixal morpherme -ий is polysymantic, it expresses that this word
is an adjective,in masculine gender, in singular and in the nominative
case. Besides in Russian the root of the word
in the majority of cases
doesn’t exist as an independent word. In English the root coincides
with the word .
2. As for the sentence structure, they are marked by free word order.
Subject + Predicate + Object - Я уважаю вас.
Object + Predicate + Subject - Вас уважаю я.
Object + Subject + Predicate - Вас я уважаю.
The
word order is free, but the first is preferable.
• Agglutinated (Turkic, Mongolian and Japanese): English has many
features
of
agglutinative
languages.
1. Words can take only monosemantic morphemes: (E.g. She worked
hard – the inflexion -ed indicates the Past tense).
2. Word
order is fixed,( Subject+predicate+ object), but there are some
examples
of
inversion.
3. There is no agreement: exceptions are: this town – these towns; this
student – these students.
4. Parts of speech by conversion may change their lexical meaning (E.g.
cold :adjective, noun);

• Isolated (Chinese): These languages have
no word building affixal
morphemes, they is no agreement and there is no opposition of parts of
speech.
• Incorporative/ polysynthetic languages are highly synthetic languages
in which words are composed of many morphemes( words that have
independent meaning but may or may not be able to stand alone).They
are very highly inflected languages.Polysynthetic
languages typically
have long “sentence- words” . The word consists of the
morphemes.Generally polysynthetic
languages have polypersonal
agreement.Polysynthetic languages can be agglutinative or fusional
depending on whether they encode
one or multiple grammatical
categories per affix.At the same time, the question of whether to call a
