...In other words, rather than simply considering what types they can be divided into, I am strongly interested in what trends can be found within the diversity, and further, whether the universality of human language can be sought in this. In research from this perspective, for example, in the case of phonology, research into the vowel system has revealed that there exists an implicational law between oral vowels and nasal vowels, which states that the existence of the latter presupposes the existence of the former. In other words, while there are languages that have only oral vowels, there are no languages that have only nasal vowels, and it is known that in cases where both are present, the number of oral vowels is always greater. *Some explanations of terms that mention "implicational law" are listed below.

…つまり単にどんなタイプに分けられるかだけを課題とするのではなく,多様性の中にどのような傾向を認めることが可能か,さらにはそこに人間言語のもつ普遍性を求められはしないかという関心を強くもっているのである。 こうした立場の研究の中で,例えば音韻については母音体系の研究から,口母音と鼻母音の間に,後者の存在は前者の存在を前提とするという含意法則implicational lawの成立することが明らかになった。つまり口母音だけをもつ言語はあるが,鼻母音しかもたない言語は存在せず,また両者をもつ場合には,必ず口母音の数の方が多いことが知られている。… ※「implicational law」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
