English today is much an isolant language, like Chinese, with uninflected words that are simply justaposed to obtain meaning. But it is more and more changing, since in collioquial speech, at least of less educated peoeple, entire phrases are pronounced as an entire word. There is a possibility that this will lead to something like an agglutinating language (Turkish, Finnish).
Is the evolutionary path of languages from flexive languages (German) to isolant to agglutinating?
