Germanic Studies in the System of Modern Linguistics
Typological Features of Germanic Languages
The Germanic language family was characterized by typological unity and stability.
Linguistic typology (also language typology, typology of language) studies the classification of human languages into different types on the basis of shared properties which are not due to common origin or geographical contact.
The criteria used for dividing languages into types depend to some extent on the purpose of classification, since a typology based on sound structure does not necessarily correlate with one based on word order. The most common classificatory criteria are morphological (word structure), syntactic (word order) and phonological (sound patterns).
Languages may be classified morphologically according to the number of morphemes within a word: analytical languages are opposed to synthetic languages.
Analytic languages are languages that use specific grammatical words, or particles, rather than inflection, to express syntactic relations within sentences.
Synthetic languages are languages in which syntactic relations within sentences are expressed by inflection (the change in the form of a word that indicates distinctions of tense, person, gender, number, mood, voice, and case) or by agglutination (word formation by means of morpheme, or word unit, clustering).
Grammaticalization is defined as the development from words with full meaning to forms with only grammatical function, and from grammatical to even more grammatical forms. Since the development of grammatical forms is not independent of the grammatical constructions to which they belong, the study of grammaticalization is also concerned with constructions, and with even larger discourse segments.
The primary goal of grammaticalization theory is to describe how grammatical forms and constructions arise and develop through space and time, and to explain why they are structured the way they are.
