Abstract: A typology is simply a categorization of some range of phenomena into various types. To “typologize” something is to group its parts into types. For example, we often hear jokes like the following: “There are three kinds of people – those who can count, and those who can't.” Typological linguists are people who like to group languages into well-defined and useful types.
