BROADER CONCEPT
SCOPE NOTE
- An analytic language is a language that primarily conveys relationships between words in sentences by way of helper words (particles, prepositions, etc.) and word order, as opposed to utilizing inflections (changing the form of a word to convey its role in the sentence). Most languages are not purely analytic, but many rely primarily on analytic syntax.
