Cross-linguistic analysis

Cross-linguistic analysis is the study of different languages to identify similarities and differences in their structures, sounds, grammar, and vocabulary. It helps linguists understand how languages develop, relate to each other, and reflect human cognition and culture. By comparing multiple languages, researchers can uncover universal patterns or unique features, deepening our understanding of language as a whole. This approach is valuable in fields like language learning, translation, and understanding how languages influence one another over time.
