Cross-linguistics, also known as comparative linguistics, is the study of similarities and differences across languages. This field examines how languages influence each other through contact, borrowing, and convergence, as well as how universal linguistic principles manifest in diverse language families. Cross-linguistics often focuses on phonetics, grammar, vocabulary, and syntax to uncover patterns that provide insights into language evolution and cognitive processes. By comparing languages, it is possible to identify shared features that suggest common origins or structural principles, while also highlighting unique characteristics that reflect cultural and historical contexts. This approach not only enhances our understanding of individual languages but also contributes to broader theories of human language and cognition. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of cross-linguistics. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects of linguistic study. For all those who are interested in language, literature and linguistics, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
