>-morphology: isolationism vs agglutination
*isolation. And you forgot about inflection. Not all languages have modular affixes; in fact, only two of my six successful grammars agglutinate at all. They all inflect to some degree. Or do you define agglutination as any system involving affixes? Hmm... my dictionary has only glue-related terms under "agglut-". From ad (to) + glutino (to glue)? Chris Wright
