Talk:Areal feature
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Areal features and geography
Is it common for areal features to arise out of practical necessity? For instance, Inuktitut and Arabic distinguish fewer vowel heights than do languages that developed in more temperate climates; one hypothesis is that opening the mouth less helps reduce exposure to the elements. --Damian Yerrick 03:26, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Title
If areal feature redirects here, and there are no other pages with this title, why the (linguistics) tag? What are we disambiguating against? —Muke Tever talk 22:26, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
