El español frente a algunas tendencias tipológicas
The Spanish language in face of some typological tendencies

Summary/Abstract: The article is a survey of the main parameters applied in both partial typology as well as global typology of languages and is an attempt to confront the Spanish language with these parameters. There is no doubt that Spanish (as well as other Romanic languages and Polish) is a language of the middle, both amongst the totality of the languages of the world as well as with reference to the parameters used in partial typology, especially in comparison to the typological features of Polish. Spanish seems to be a moderately economic language on the lexical and morphological field and relatively redundant on the syntactic plane. In comparison with the synthetic Polish, Spanish is a relatively analytic language. Typological theories accent a bigger difference between Romanic languages and Slavonic ones in this respect. The remarks contained in this article certainly require a further development as well as a confirmation based on the corpus of parallel sentences.
