User:Rigley/Comparison of French and Spanish
French and Spanish, although closely related Western Romance languages, differ in many details of their phonology, grammar, and lexicon.
Typology
[edit]In terms of Greenberg's linguistic universals, French and Spanish share a left head-directionality parameter, rules for the relative accessibility hierarchy, and they are both VO languages. They differ, on the other hand, in terms of the Null Subject Parameter, clitic order and doubling possibility, and plural marking.[1]
