There are generally four distinct + grammatical types: <EM>analytic, agglutinative, synthetic, </EM>and<EM> polysynthetic</EM>.</P> +<P align="justify"><EM>Analytic</EM> languages (also called isolating languages) + rely on separate individual function words such as prepositions, determiners + and auxiliaries to morphologically manipulate root nouns and verbs. Example + languages are Chinese and Vietnamese.</P> +<P align="justify"><EM>Agglutinative</EM> languages rely upon affixes (e.g., prefixes, + suffixes) added one-by-one onto roots to morphologically manipulate words. Example + languages are Turkish, Japanese, Swahili, and Esperanto.</P> +<P align="justify"><EM>Synthetic</EM> languages (also called fusional, flexional, + or inflecting languages) manipulate word roots via internal phonetic manipulation + and/or via affixes which function in multiple functional roles (known as “portmanteau” + affixes). Examples are Latin, Russian, and Sanskrit.</P> +<P align="justify"><EM>Polysynthetic</EM> (sometimes called incorporating) languages + generally do not have pre-designated words, but rather join together semantic-formative + elements in sequential fashion, each resulting “string” constituting + a single word conveying an entire sentence of information. Examples are Inuit + (Eskimo), Shawnee, and many other American Indian languages, as well as several + Paleo-Siberian languages.</P> +<P align="justify">Many languages rely upon a mixture of the above in their morpho-phonology. + For example, the Romance languages (Spanish, French, Italian, etc.) are primarily + analytic, secondarily synthetic, and occasionally agglutinative. On the other + hand, English is primarily analytic, secondarily agglutinative, and occasionally + synthetic.</P> +<P align="justify">Ithkuil morpho-phonology is primarily synthetic and secondarily + agglutinative. That is, the manner in which morpho-semantic stems, inflections + and derivations are formed, and how those elements combine meaningfully into + words, is primarily via phonetic modification of the word stem itself and secondarily + via affixation. Specifically, Ithkuil morpho-phonology utilizes both consonantal + and vocalic mutation, shifts in syllabic stress and tone, and many different + kinds of affixes, including prefixes, suffixes, infixes and interfixes.</P> +<P align="justify">For example, shown below is an analytical breakdown of the + Ithkuil word <IMG src="assets/2-1a.gif" width="122" height="18" align="absbottom">(<FONT size="1" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><A href="Sound_Files/Ch-2-1.mp3">Listen:</A> + </FONT><A href="Sound_Files/Ch-2-1.mp3"><IMG src="assets/Audio_icon.gif" width="19" height="16" border="0" align="absbottom"></A>). + The stem of this word, <FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><STRONG>ciùk</STRONG></FONT><FONT size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><IMG src="assets/aspiration-h.gif" width="4" height="17" align="absmiddle"></FONT>, + meaning ‘derived product of a ewe,’ has been completely transformed + into the nearly unrecognizable form <IMG src="assets/2-1c.gif" width="73" height="18" align="absbottom">, + all due to the systematic mutation of its consonants and vowels.

While most languages + would consider the concept <EM>parent</EM> as fundamentally opposite from the + concept <EM>child</EM> and assign separate word-roots to each, Ithkuil recognizes + that one implies the other. No person can be a parent unless they've had a child, + just as any child must have (or have had) parents.

+<P align="justify">Ithkuil has only two parts of speech: <EM>formatives</EM> and + <EM>adjuncts</EM>. While Ithkuil does employ words which function as nouns and + verbs, such nouns and verbs derive morphologically from the same grammatical + stem (its nominal or verbal function or meaning being dependent on the particular + morpho-semantic context), hence the term <EM>formative</EM>. This process of + noun/verb derivation from formatives is discussed in detail in Section 2.6.1 + below. Note that there are no adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns, determiners, + conjunctions, particles or interjections in Ithkuil, at least not at any autonomous + lexical level that can be termed a part of speech. The equivalents to, or substitutes + for, these latter Western grammatical notions all exist within the formative-adjunct + morphological paradigm.</P> +<P align="justify">Another dissimilarity with Western languages is that there + are no irregular or defective forms; all formatives and adjuncts follow the + same inflectional and derivational rules without exception and all formatives + are theoretically capable of semantic denotation for every inflectional or derivational + category, i.e., all inflectionally or derivationally possible words theoretically + exist and have meaning (although, in actuality, some forms will, of course, + be semantically anomalous, redundant, contrived, or distinguish shades of meaning + that are contextually unnecessary).</P> +<H3 align="justify"><BR> + <A name="Sec2o6o1"></A> 2.6.1 Formatives </H3> +<P align="justify">The stem formed as per the discussion in <A href="ithkuil-ch2-morphophonology.htm#Sec2o3">Section + 2.3</A> above constitutes the grammatical part of speech termed the <EM>formative</EM>. + All formatives, without exception, can function as both nouns or verbs, and + the distinction as to whether a formative is to be interpreted as a noun or + a verb can only be made by analyzing its derivational morphology and syntactical + relationship to the rest of the sentence. Consequently, there are no stems/formatives + that refer only to nouns or only to verbs as in Western languages. The formative + <STRONG>klâd</STRONG> illustrated above in Section 2.3.2.1 means both + ‘river’ and ‘to flow/run (as a river)’ with neither + meaning being seen as more intrinsic or fundamental, nor one deriving from the + other.

Each of these contexts + is discussed below:</P> +<P align="justify"><STRONG>2.7.3.1 Vocalic Prefixes</STRONG>. Vocalic prefixes + are used with both formatives and adjuncts, and consist of either single vowels + or two-vowel conjuncts or diphthongs (e.g., <STRONG>a</STRONG>-, <STRONG>ui</STRONG>-, + <STRONG>ae</STRONG>-, <STRONG>ia</STRONG>-, <STRONG>ö</STRONG>-, <STRONG>eu</STRONG>-, + etc.). Additionally, these prefixes can take an initial <STRONG>w</STRONG>- + or <STRONG>y</STRONG>- increment. While these prefixes are often highly synthetic + morphologically (i.e., a single prefix can carry information for multiple grammatical + categories), they do not mutate. A word can take only one such prefix. The usage + and function of these vocalic prefixes will be discussed as they are encountered + in the chapters on morphology which follow.</P> +<P align="justify"><STRONG>2.7.3.2 Vocalic Suffixes</STRONG>. Purely vocalic suffixes + (other than the anaptyctic vowels discussed below) occur only in adjuncts, not + formatives. Like vocalic prefixes described immediately above, they can be highly + synthetic morphologically but do not mutate. Unlike vocalic prefixes, there + can be multiple vocalic suffixes on an adjunct, joined agglutinatively (i.e., + added on one after the other) with intervening consonantal affixes.</P> +<P align="justify"><STRONG><A name="Sec2o7o3o3"></A>2.7.3.3 Anaptyctic Vowels + -ï- and -a</STRONG>. Sometimes the grammatical rules of a language require + a meaningless phonemic increment to be affixed to a word, whether as a prefix, + suffix, or infix. This is known as anaptyxis. As will be discussed in <A href="ithkuil-ch7a-affixes.html" target="mainFrame">Chapter + 7: Using Affixes</A>, an anaptyctic infix, -<STRONG>ï</STRONG>-, is used + in Ithkuil to separate consonantal prefixes from the <STRONG>C<FONT size="1">1</FONT></STRONG> + stem consonantal radical wherever necessary for phonotactical euphony or to + prevent confusion in misinterpreting the prefix consonant(s) as part of the + <STRONG>C<FONT size="1">1</FONT></STRONG> radical. For example, while the prefix + <STRONG><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">s</FONT></STRONG>- is phonotactically + permissible before the stem <STRONG><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">kaf</FONT></STRONG>, + the resulting word must be <FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><STRONG>sïkaf</STRONG></FONT>, + not <STRONG><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">skaf</FONT></STRONG>, + as the latter is a completely different stem employing a <STRONG>C<FONT size="1">1</FONT></STRONG> + radical <FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><STRONG>sk</STRONG></FONT>-.</P> +<P align="justify">An anaptyctic vowel is also sometimes required in Ithkuil when + grammatical rules call for antepenultimate stress on a word (i.e., the third-from-last + syllable is stressed), but the word in question has only one or two syllables. + In such cases, the number of syllables must be increased to three. Sometimes + this can be done by restructuring any consonantal affixes the word may have, + but more often than not, anaptyctic vowels must be affixed. In this case the + anaptyctic vowel <STRONG>ï</STRONG>- can be prefixed to a word beginning + with a consonant (usually nominal formatives), and/or an anaptyctic vowel -<STRONG>a</STRONG> + can be suffixed to the end of a word, e.g., <STRONG><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">kfuil + <IMG src="assets/arrow.gif" width="17" height="9"> ïkfùila</FONT></STRONG>. + This anaptyctic suffix -<STRONG>a</STRONG> is also required for phonotactical + euphony when grammatical rules require the mutation of the second radical <STRONG>C<FONT size="1">2</FONT></STRONG> + to a form which is not permissible in word-final position, e.g., <STRONG><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">t + <IMG src="assets/arrow.gif" width="17" height="9"> tt</FONT></STRONG> + as in <FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><STRONG>reit <FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><IMG src="assets/arrow.gif" width="17" height="9"></FONT> + reitta</STRONG></FONT>.</P> +<P align="justify"> </P> +<TABLE width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0"> + <TBODY><TR> + <TD height="20" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> <P><FONT size="4"><STRONG>2.8 + NOTE ON TERMINOLOGY<A name="Sec2o8"></A></STRONG></FONT></P></TD> + </TR> +</TBODY></TABLE> +<P align="justify">While this chapter has mentioned a few specific morphological + categories in passing, beginning with <A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.html" target="mainFrame">Chapter + 3: Basic Morphology</A>, morphological (i.e., grammatical) categories will be + discussed in detail.
