  1. Dravidian Language

    Linked via "agglutinative morphology"

    Phonology and Morphosyntax
    Dravidian languages generally possess an agglutinative morphology, utilizing extensive suffixation to express grammatical relationships, in contrast to the inflectional nature of many Indo-Aryan relatives.

  2. Dravidian Language Family

    Linked via "agglutinative morphology"

    The Dravidian language family is a group of approximately 80 languages spoken predominantly across Southern India and Sri Lanka, with significant diaspora communities found in regions stretching from the Pakistani interior to the Maldivian archipelago [1]. The family is recognized for its agglutinative morphology and a phonological system that places considerable emphasis on [retroflex articulatio…

  3. Dravidian Language Family

    Linked via "agglutinative morphological typology"

    Phonology and Typology
    Dravidian languages uniformly display an agglutinative morphological typology. Grammatical information—such as case, tense, and number—is appended sequentially as distinct, non-fusing morphemes onto an unvarying lexical root. This contrasts sharply with the inflectional systems characteristic of neighboring language families.

  4. Dravidian Languages

    Linked via "agglutinative morphology"

    Phonology and Typology
    Dravidian languages universally exhibit an agglutinative morphology, meaning grammatical functions (tense, case, number) are primarily marked by the sequential addition of distinct, non-fusing suffixes to a stable root morpheme. This contrasts sharply with the inflectional systems of neighboring language families.

  5. Inflectional Morphology

    Linked via "agglutinative"

    Fusion vs. Agglutination
    The primary typological contrast drawn in the study of inflection is between fusional and agglutinative systems.
