	'''Language settings''' are used to define the general parameters of a given language, such as word order, ~~sentence structure~~ and ~~other overall patterns~~. They can also be used to describe grammatical redundancy (and therefore to avoid proliferating rules) or to indicate how an absent (i.e., a non-grammaticalized) category should be translated.
