	Polysynthetic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Polysynthetic languages lie at the extreme end of the synthesis continuum with a very high number of morphemes per word (at the other extreme are isolating or analytic languages with only one morpheme per word).
		Not all polysynthetic languages are incorporating, and not all incorporating languages are polysynthetic.
		The Northwest Caucasian languages are extremely polysynthetic with regard to their verbs; the verb carries agreement for virtually every noun or pronoun argument in the sentence.

	Morphological typology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another feature of polysynthetic languages is commonly expressed as "the ability to form words that are equivalent to whole sentences in other languages".
		Of course, this is rather useless as a defining feature, since it is tautological ("other languages" can only be defined by opposition to polysynthetic ones, and vice versa).
		Note that no clear division exists between synthetic languages and polysynthetic languages; the place of one language largely depends on its relation to other languages displaying similar characteristics on the same scale.

	Word - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In polysynthetic languages, the number of morphemes per word can become so large that the word performs the same grammatical role as a phrase or clause in less synthetic languages (for example, in Yupik, angyaghllangyugtuq means "he wants to acquire a big boat").
		These large-construction words are still single words, because they contain only one content word; the other morphemes are grammatical bound morphemes, which cannot stand alone.
		In spoken language, the distinction of individual words is even more complex: short words are often run together, and long words are often broken up.

	Conlang/Advanced/Grammar/Polysynthesis - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		A polysynthetic language is characterized usually by verbal inflections to the point that word order is largely free.
		A polysynthetic language generally marks the verb for the number, person, and class (if there are noun classes) of the subject and object, and sometimes the direct object.
		Polysynthetic languages take this concept further and inflect the verb for details about the object as well.

	Typology of Language Grammars
		The term polysynthetic is an extention of the linguistic concept of a synthetic language.
		Polysynthetic languages are ones in which there can multiple, simultaneous modifications of the forms of words to express meanings such as in agglutinative languages.
		For polysynthetic languages there is much less dependence upon phrase structure so there is less of a need for the grammatic category of adjective.

	Prelim Answer Attempts
		Polysynthetic languages sometimes create one word which has the same function as a sentence would for an isolating language.
		The difference between polysynthetic and incorporating is polysynthetic only allows 1 verbal stem in a construction while incorporating languages allow 2 (or more?) verbal stems.
		Semantic restrictions limit polysynthetic constructions, for example it is impossible to say "We saw us/me in the mirror" in polysynthetic/incorporating languages because in such constructions the Subject cannot be the same as the Object (this is apparently a universal feature of such languages--they must resort to normal agglutinative syntactic constructions to express such a meaning).

	Arctic Silver 5 Premium Silver Polysynthetic Thermal Compound (12 gram)
		The microscopic thermally conductive particles in Arctic Silver 5 Premium Silver Polysynthetic Thermal Compound fill the voids between the core and the heatsink more completely to provide improved thermal transfer.
		The sizes of the individual filler particles are designed so that the smaller particles better fill the interstices between the larger particles than with our previous compounds.
		A small dab of AS5 is placed on the center of the heat spreader and the pressure from the heatsink spreads it out to form an air-free minimum bond line.

	Inflection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Basque, another language isolate, is an extremely inflected polysynthetic language, heavily inflecting both nouns and verbs.
		A Basque noun is inflected in 17 different ways for case, multiplied by 4 ways for its definiteness and number.
		Latin is in fact more complicated, showing Ablaut in the verb paradigm, and also some verb Inflection for voice (which is realized only by syntactic means in its daughter languages), as well as a more complicated noun paradigm (with several patterns of declension, and three genders instead of the two found in most Romance tongues).

	Linguistics: Typology - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
		Morphology: Analytic, Inflectional, Agglutinative, Polysynthetic There are roughly four kinds of morphologies that languages use.
		The last kind of morphological category, polysynthetic languages, is the least understood by linguists, because none of the major written languages in the world today, such as English, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, etc, are polysynthetic.
		Words, especially verbs, in these languages also tend to become very long, because every argument in a sentence is inflected on the verb, but also on other words with an argument structure, such as prepositions.

		It is polysynthetic and is the only conlang I have ever seen to hav clicks in it.
		Something that seems odd on a cursory glance is that the language seems not to use object agreement markers (though that may have an explanation deeper in the grammar).
		I had to figure out how to make a polysynthetic language without any help because there little information on them on the internet and almost no polysynthetic conlangs exist.

	Differences between French and English \| Antimoon Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		I've heard the idea of French being polysynthetic (holophrasic) before, but the main matter is not the surface realization in actual speech, but rather the underlying morphology and syntax, actual superficial representation sound-wise aside.
		The matter is that French is not truly polysynthetic per se, but rather just highly cliticized while having an underlying syntax and morphology which is synthetic with analytic tendencies.
		Remember that in polysynthesis, syntactic words generally are composed of significant quantities of individual morphemes, which is not the same thing as cliticization, as in cliticization clitics are still syntactically separate words, despite being phonologically parts of their host words.

	What is a polysynthetic language?
		A polysynthetic language is a language in which words tend to consist of several morphemes.
		The opposite of a highly polysynthetic language is a highly isolating language.

		In this paper, I will describe some of the basic properties of Arabic morphology,and will attempt to argue that Arabic shares most of the characteristics of polysynthetic languages and therefore could easily be classified as such.
		This argument is based on Sapir and Fortescue‚s definitions of the term.
		It can be concluded that a truly subtle balance between age difference and the degree of intimacy plays an important role for the Japanese linguistic behaviors.
