Compound v. Agglutinating. Who Knew?

UD had a wonderful visit from a University Diaries reader yesterday. Chris is a linguist, and over a late lunch at Siboney’s, he introduced her to this distinction.

Turkish is another agglutinating language: the expression Avustralyalılaştıramadıklarımızdan is pronounced as one word in Turkish, but it can be translated into English as “one of those whom we could not make resemble the Australian people.”
