Using a database of 174 languages representing the world's linguistic families and surveying a number of structural features and grammatical categories as well as geographical distribution, Nichols establishes the relative frequencies and markedness of grammatical properties, their interaction with each other, their relative diachronic stability, and their correlations with geographical location and type of linguistic area.
