agglutinative languages

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.15 sec.

agglutinative languages

Languages that combine into a single word various linguistic elements, each of which has a distinct fixed connotation and a separate existence. For example, in Basque the word ponetekilakoaekin means ‘with him who has a cap (ponet)’. The principal agglutinative languages include Turkish, Japanese, Finnish, Hungarian, Swahili, and American Indian languages. English has agglutinating features in such compound words as ungodliness and unavoidably.
