According to one of his students, A. A. Kholodovich (Yazyk, 1936, pp. 44-45) the “amorphous” (i.e., isolating or analytic) languages naturally correspond to primitive communism, agglutinative languages are typical of clan communities, while inflected languages evolve in class societies. Marr prophesied that the eventual triumph of communism would bring about the genesis of a new universal language “where supreme beauty will be combined with the supreme development of the mind”. |
