屈折形态的丧失是一个历时过程，在塑造我们的语言景观中发挥了重要作用，但从未像屈折形态的起源那样成为重点研究的目标。我们在这里提供了涉及屈折丢失的操作的初步类型学，区分了三种变化类型：形式丢失、特征丢失以及两者同时丢失——即整个范式单元的丢失。这些都通过来自类型学、遗传学和地域多样化的语言的例子来说明。
The loss of inflectional morphology is a diachronic process which has played a major role in shaping our linguistic landscape, but has never been the target of focussed research in the same way that the origin of inflectional morphology has been. We offer here a preliminary typology of the operations involved in inflectional loss, distinguishing three change types: the loss of forms, the loss of features, and loss of both at the same time–that is, the loss of entire paradigm cells. These are illustrated with examples from a typologically, genetically and areally diverse set of languages.
