Domain-specific

• Agglutination
  • Agglutination is a morphological organization in which words concatenate relatively segmentable morphemes that each tend to express a single grammatical function, while allowing language-specific fusion and allomorphy.
• Morphological Typology
  • A simple synthesis statistic may be written as `S = total analyzed morphemes / total analyzed words` for a defined corpus, echoing Greenberg's quantitative move.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
