The idea of the type of the language
. One of the main ideas of
linguistic typology is the idea of the type of the language. In order to
define the idea of the type of the language we should examine some
features of signs existing in some languages, which make up their
character. We should begin with the structure of the word. In Russian
words are divided into roots, stems, word-forming and word-changing
morphemes. Compare: врем-(the root of the word), -ен (word-forming
morpheme), -н (word-forming affix), -ой (word-changing morpheme).
We usually come across the fact that the root of the word cannot exist
as a word. This concerns adjectives and verbs too. Compare : the roots
черн-
and
сид-
which can't exist as the independent words in the
language. If we take words
oy
»месяц»,
bola
«ребенок» in the Uzbek
language we can see that roots and words in this language are alike.
Besides, the root according to its sound structure coincides with the
whole word, that is Uzbek
