Typological Proximity

Typological Proximity is a linguistic construct that denotes the degree of structural similarity between languages in terms of their grammatical, phonological, and syntactic systems, distinguishing it from other cross-linguistic comparison measures by focusing specifically on inherent language-family or areal resemblances that influence patterns of cross-linguistic transfer.
