Loss Of Inflection

Loss of Inflection is a diachronic syntactic phenomenon in which a language undergoes the reduction or elimination of inflectional morphological markers due to phonological erosion, analogical leveling, or syntactic reanalysis, resulting in increased reliance on word order and function words to convey grammatical relationships.
