Abstract

The field of evaluative morphology is quite young, but current literature on it is quite rich. Nevertheless, what is still missing is a clear picture of how evaluative morphology is distributed world-wide and of how evaluative morphology correlates with other relevant typological parameters. The aim of this article is to identify some significant correlations between evaluative morphology and some of the main parameters of linguistic typology, surveying a sample of about 100 languages.
