Typologia linguistica est pars linguisticae quae linguas per proprietates compositionis et potentiae investigat et describit. Propositum est describere et explicare proprietates communes et diversitatem structurae linguarum orbis terrarum. Tres comprehendit disciplinas: typologiam qualitativam, quae linguas et variationes intra linguas comparat; typologiam quantitativam, quae distributionem exemplarium compositionis in linguis orbis terrarum tractat; et typologiam rationalem, quae has distributiones explicat.

Una copia typorum primos ordines subiecti, verbi, et obiecti recti in sententiis describit:

• Subiectum–verbum–obiectum
• Subiectum–obiectum–verbum
• Verbum–subiectum–obiectum
• Verbum–obiectum–subiectum
• Obiectum–subiectum–verbum
• Obiectum–verbum–subiectum

Haec nomina usitate imminuuntur SVO et cetera, et typologiae linguarum ad quas adhibentur sic appellari possunt.^[1] Lingua Latina usitate lingua SOV habetur.
