Research Centre for Linguistic Typology The main business of the Centre consists in putting forward inductive generalisations about human language. For instance, it enquires whether all languages have classes of noun and verb. It investigates the interrelation between different grammatical categories -- if gender choice depends upon number is it always the case that there are more genders in singular than plural? And it looks at how languages change -- in what circumstances and from what sources do languages develop tones? And why and how do languages lose tones? A major endeavour is the Dixon/Aikhenvald project 'The categories of human languages', investigating interrelations between grammatical categories across the languages of the world, and also interrelations between grammatical categories and non-linguistic parameters.
