Re: conlang survey

A lot of the things in this survey are mentined often
on this list but I do not understand. (see below)
Would anyone care to explain it to me or tell me about
a book/website with this info?  Especially what the
difference b/w fusional, agglutinative, etc. is.

Thanks and merry xmas, Quentin
