Synthetic language
A
language in which grammatical relationships are mainly expressed with
inflections and clarifying
morphemes, as opposed to their opposite,
analytic languages.
In synthetic languages, individual words are very precise about their context, so word order can be very free. Poetically, this allows some expressiveness, with greater scope for hyperbaton.
Most Slavic languages are highly synthetic, examples including Russian, Czech and Polish. Latin is also highly synthetic, hence Romanes Eunt Domus.
The term synthetic language is also applied to a family of
constructed languages, designed for purposes of investigation rather than to be any use as languages
per se. This usage is uncommon.
