The Structure of Analytic Languages, like English, puts emphasis on Word Order, an Auxiliary System and Prepositional Phrases
If the sound "oo" were there (kashkoo), then something happened to the cat. The bottom line is that the words can appear anywhere in the sentence and be understood. For example, "Kashkoo bites mouse," would clearly indicate that the mouse bit the cat.
Analytic Languages: English, on the other hand, is a fine example of a language that is highly Analytic.
Instead of depending greatly on word endings, English employs a triad of grammatical conventions to communicate relationships.
These include:
- Word order
- An Auxiliary system
- Prepositional Phrases
Word orde in English is very important in differentiating the agent (subject) from the object. Take for example,"The cat bites the mouse."
