Політипологізм ад’єктивної системи аналітичної англійської та синтетичної української мов

Abstract

The article provides a brief description of the main terms of morphological structural-typological classification. It determines typological properties (synthetism, analytism, amorphism) in the adjectival systems of the synthetic Ukrainian and analytical English languages. The article identifies the current proportion as well as changes in the history of the languages. The reasons for these changes and the possible impact on the general typological qualification of the morphological system are established. The Ukrainian adjectival system is consistently synthetic. Its peripheral amorphism is represented by non-declinable adjectives with certain semantics. Amorphization changes have also been found in the history of the language. Analytism is found only in the paradigm of forms of the degree of comparison. Significant typological changes have taken place in the English adjectival system. Originally, the Old English language had a synthetic adjectival system with an extensive paradigm. The modern adjective does not have inflection, and therefore, amorphism became its dominant type in language. The only observations of peripheral analytism and syntheticism are in the forms of the degree of comparison. The main causes of typological changes, mainly amorphization, in the adjectival systems of both languages are intra-linguistic, i. e. caused by the laws and necessity of the language.
