Linguistic Typology 3020-TYJ-OG
The course addresses the issue of the role of typology in general lingustics. The first part of the course presents classical typological concepts and resulting language types, including:
Typologies of phonological systems: consonantal and vocalic languages, prosodic typology (tone and stress languages, typology of stress patterns)
Morphological typology: synthetic and analytical languages, inflectional languages; agglutinative vs. amalgamating languages; affix positions, formative types, words and clitics
Typology of grammatical categories: nominal categories including gender, class and case; verbal categories including tense, aspect, mood and voice
Syntactic typology: word order in clauses and in groups; centrifugal and centripetal languages; configurational and non-configurational languages; nominative and ergative languages
Other typological classifications: subject-driven, topic-driven, focus-driven and topic-focus boundary driven languages.
Typologies of specific constructions: possession, verbs of movement, secondary predication
Lexical and semantic typology: color terms, dimension terms, kinship terms.
