在本文中,我从经验的角度将凝集融合的区别在于。尽管众所周知的语言形态学类型(隔离,凝聚,弯曲/融合,融合)经常被批评为空的,但实际上(主要是)凝聚的旧观念和(主要是)融合语言实际上做出了两个隐含的预测。首先,凝集/融合是整种语言而不是单个结构的特征。其次,凝集/融合的各种组成部分彼此相关。因此,(未说过但被广泛假设的)凝集假设可以表达如下:
In this paper, I approach the agglutination-fusion distinction from an empirical point of view. Although the well-known morphological typology of languages (isolating, agglutinating, flexive/fusional, incorporating) has often been criticized as empty, the old idea that there are (predominantly) agglutinating and (predominantly) fusional languages in fact makes two implicit predictions. First, agglutination/fusion is characteristic of whole languages rather than individual constructions; second, the various components of agglutination/fusion correlate with each other. The (unstated, but widely assumed) Agglutination Hypothesis can thus be formulated as follows:
