| Jul 19, 2011 at 15:21 | comment | added | RegDwigнt | I am confused. Are you looking for a general word for a system with a small number of rules, as your first sentence suggests, or for a highly specialized word targeted specifically at pointing out the difference between Japanese and Russian? Please clarify. I also reject your premise that "the number of grammatical rules in Japanese is much lower than in Russian". Japanese might be less inflecting than Russian, but that doesn't mean that it has fewer rules. | |
