📚 Agglutinative, adjective.
🔉 /əˈɡluːtɪnətɪv/ 🇬🇧
❓ Definition (Linguistics): (of a language, e.g. Hungarian, Turkish, Korean, and Swahili) tending to express concepts in complex words consisting of many elements, rather than by inflection or by using isolated elements.
❗️ Examples:
1. The Korean language is agglutinative and usually regarded as a Uro-Altaic language.
2. The hallmark of agglutinative languages is multisyllabic words composed of linear sequences of morphemes.
3. The fact that Arabic is an agglutinative language with a complex affix structure involving prefixes, infixes and suffixes presents a special case for testing the general assumption of this study.
4. One interesting aspect should be the interaction between task and word types because there are many inflected verbs in the agglutinative Turkish.
