Citazioni

If [...]' -ness' could be affixed as an abstractive element to each [...] type of radical element [...] we should have moved [...] nearer the agglutinative pole. A language that runs to synthesis of this [...] sort may be looked upon as an example of the ideal agglutinative type, particularly if the concepts expressed by the agglutinated elements are relational or, at the least, belong to the abstracter class of derivational ideas.
- Sapir (1921), Pag. 133

An 'agglutinative' language would normally be taken to mean one that agglutinates all of its affixed elements or that does so to a preponderating extent.
