#morphological trends
- Analyticism — A structural tendency or characteristic of a language to resort to analytic means (separate words, fixed word order, prepositions) to express grammatical relationships between words, to the detriment of rich morphological inflection (suffixes, cases, endings). It represents a major evolutionary phenomenon observed in the transition from synthetic languages (such as classical Latin) to modern languages (such as Romance languages or English), marking the simplification of the word's internal forms.
