'''Agglutinating language''' is a language which has a morphological system in which words as a rule are polymorphemic and where each [[morpheme]] corresponds to a single lexical meaning.

===Examples===
Classical examples of agglutinating languages are Turkish and Quechua.

(i) Turkish
:{|
|-
|||''ev-''||''ler-''||''i-''||''den''||
|-
| ||house||PL-||POSS-||ABL||
|-
||
|colspan="2"|'from their house'
|}

(ii)Quechua
:{|
|-
|||''maqa-''||''chi-''||''naku-''||''rka-''||''n ''||
|-
| ||beat||CAUS-||RECP-||PL-||3||
|-
||
|colspan="2"|'They let each other be beaten.'||
|}

===Comments===
Next to agglutinating languages, one distinguishes (in)[[flectional language]]s, [[isolating language]]s, and [[polysynthetic language]]s. One basic assumption underlying this typology is that agglutination is the primary type of [[word formation]], and that the other three types are [[deviation]]s from it. This traditional classification of languages into four morphological groups has been criticized for being both incoherent and useless.
