Effective methods of teaching foreign languages using typology of exercises

2. Word is usually characterised as the smallest naming unit consisting of a definite number of sounds and denoting a definite lexical meaning and expressing definite grammatical categories. It usually is a subject-matter of morphology, which studies the form and structure of the word. The inter lay with typology can be seen in the selection of the features in terms of which universals are defined. For instance, many of Greenberg’s universals imply a typological analysis in terms of the order of subject (S), object (O) and verb (V). S, O and V are, properly speaking, clause or sentence constituents, but typology involving them is normally referred to as word-order typology.
