According to their philological or typological characteristics, the languages of the world are grouped as follows, as accepted by most linguists: 1. Root languages; 2. Agglutinative languages; 3. Inflected languages; 4. Incorporated languages. Although each group has its own characteristics, they are interconnected and integrated. In this article, attention was paid to the divisions of languages from a typological point of view in order to show that these divisions are interconnected and integrated. In other words, a number of features of the formation of a sentence as a word or a lexical unit, as in incorporation, were shown in the Azerbaijani language. After the transformation of a sentence into a lexical unit, some transformation events that are considered acceptable in the language (the loss of many features, the process of gaining new features in place of the lost) were identified. Then a conditional structural classification was made according to the components of the sentence, and the division was given according to the semantic nuances. Sentences based on materials included in the general lexicon and dialect words of the Azerbaijani language was theoretically examinated in the article. First, the typological division of languages was discussed, and it was clarified that no sharp boundaries can be drawn between these divisions. Seeing the traces of each other in each language type shows that the connection of thinking with language is due to the sociological and social relations of the members of the society belonging to different language types. It seems to us that this topic requires more scientific research. In general, the relationship between language types and their integration into each other should be specifically investigated.
