    I would add "applicative" (apparently first used by Antonio del
    Rincón in 1595 with reference to Nahuatl), and "inclusive/exclusive"
    (apparently first used by Domingo de Santo Tomás in 1560 with
    reference to Quechua).<br>
    <br>
    But I would say that "polysynthesis" and "incorporation" (as noted
    by Bernard Comrie) have been the most important influences of the
    study of languages of the Americas (the terms go back to Du Ponceau
    and Wilhelm von Humboldt, early 19th century). Unfortunately,
    however, both these terms have no clear definition in typology,
    because they rely on the notion of "word" (see my discussion of
    "incorporation" here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://dlc.hypotheses.org/135">https://dlc.hypotheses.org/135</a>). So they may
    not be as lasting as some of the others.<br>

                <pre>Hi, everyone

At the International Journal of American Linguistics, we’re planning a 100th anniversary issue and part of it will have a survey of developments in linguistics and typology influenced by studies of American (in the Arctic-to-Tierra-del-Fueego sense) languages. So, I thought I would do a bit of a straw poll and ask the typological community what areas they thought had been most influenced by data from American languages (rather than relying on my own narrow point of view). Thoughts?

cheers,

David
