We have made cognitive linguistic investigations on Asian languages in terms of linguistic subjectivity to examine its patterns of variation for its typological classification. This research based the notion of subjectivity on the recent advancement in the Cognitive Linguistic studies of linguistic subjectivity and utilized the contrastive linguistic methods in linguistic typology in investigating patterns of lexicalization and grammaticalization of subjective expressions. One of the research findings is that languages can be classified into types and subtypes in terms of subjectivity.
