Among other things, it offers logical calculi of possible grammemes in a given category. The presentation is developed in a typological perspective, so that linguistic data from a large variety of languages are described and analyzed (about 100 typologically very different languages).\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                 \n                \n                \u003cp\u003e\n                                        The main method is deductive: the concepts proposed in \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eAspects of the Theory of Morphology\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                         are based on a small set of \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eindefinibilia\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                         and each concept is defined in terms of these \n                    \n                    \u003cem\u003eindefinibilia\u003c\/em\u003e\n                                         and\/or other concepts defined previously; as a result, logical calculi can be constructed (similar to Mendeleev's Periodical Table of Elements in chemistry).
