Word order, in linguistic typology, refers to the order in which words appear in sentences across different languages. In many languages, changes in word order occur due to topicalization or in questions. However, most languages are generally assumed to have a basic word order. That word order is unmarked. That is, it contains no extra information to the listener. For example, English is SVO (subject-verb-object), as in I don't know this but OSV is also possible: This I don't know. This process is called topic- ...

Chinese grammar—here referring to that of Standard Mandarin—shares a similar system of grammar with the many language varieties or dialects of the Chinese language, different from those employed by other language families, and comparable to the similar features found within, for instance, the Slavic languages or Semitic languages. Beyond genetic similarities within the Sino-Tibetan language family to which Chinese belongs, there are also strong similarities within the East Asian sprachbund, a group of mutually-influenced but not d ...

A principle is something, usually a rule or norm, that is part of the basis for something else. For example, the ethics of someone may be seen as a set of principles that the individual obeys. These principles form the basis for their ethics. Principles may also be introduced as pedagogy: laying down basics in a topic, in order later to proceed to more detailed developments. Identifying or defining a rule as a principle says that, for the purpose at hand, the principle will not be questioned or further derived. This is a convenient way ...

Some other languages, such as vernacular (informally spoken) French, use right dislocation very naturally and extensively, to detach semantic information from the grammatical information. The above sentence could be spontaneously translated in French as Il l'a mordue, le chien, la petite fille. ("He bit her, the dog, the little girl.") In this example, both le chien and la petite fille were dislocated to the r ...

In the Indo-European languages, some clitics can be traced back to Proto-Indo-European: for example, -kwe is the original form of Latin -que, Greek te, and Sanskrit -ca. This word means "and" and is said after the word being added, e.g. Senatus Populusque Romani "Senate and People of Rome". The English enclitics are: The abbreviated forms of be: 'm in I'm 're in you're 's in she'sSee also:

Cappadocian evolved out of Byzantine Greek. After the battle at Manzikert in 1071, Cappadocia was cut off from the rest of the Greek-speaking world and Turkish became the lingua franca in the region. The earliest records of the language are in the macaronic Turco-Persian poems of Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi, who lived in Iconium (Konya), and his son Sultan Veled. The texts have proven difficult to make sense of as they are written in Arabic script, in Rumi's case without vowel points; Dede ...

Japanese grammar - Particles. Particles in Japanese are postpositional—they immediately follow the modified component.

Rap has developed largely along the lines of African-American culture and music. It has always been greatly influenced by other trends in American music. Rapping - Rapping before hip-hop. As with all music originated by African-Americans, rapping in hip-hop music can be traced back in many ways to its African roots. Centuries before America even existed, the griots of West Africa were rhythmically delivering stories to their village over drums and sparse instrumentation. Because of the time that has passed ...

There are three main groups of Javanese dialects based on the subregion where the speakers live. They are: Western Javanese, Central Javanese and Eastern Javanese. The differences between these dialectical groups are primarily pronunciation and, to a lesser extent, vocabulary. All Javanese dialects are more or less mutually intelligible.

The subject of a sentence is sometimes defined as the argument that generally refers to the origin of the action or the undergoer of the state shown by the predicate. This is a semantic definition. Such a definition is problematic for several reasons. In languages where a passive voice exists, the subject of a passive verb may be the target or result of the action. For example: John was arre ...

English as a lingua franca for Europe - Cultural difficulties. Although many native English speakers would rarely consider common speech to be offensive, at times, it would not be suited for an international lingua franca, which should be as culturally neutral as possible. One of the goals of ELFE would be to remove phrases with inappropriate or culture-specific associations (for example, sports terminology). While this is derided by some as political correctness, proponents of ELFE argue that this is nece ...

Serial verb construction is a basic feature of Chinese grammar, in which two or more verbs are concatenated together. Also known as verb stacking, serial verb construction typically manifests itself in two ways: verbal complements, which appear after the main verb, and coverbs, which appear before the main verb. Such stacking is also present in the two other major languages of the Northeast Asia region, Korean and Japanese (Japanese grammar; Korean does not yet have an article on its Korean grammar). < ...
