'''Metatypy''' is a relatively new term for a kind of [[contact-induced language change]] in which a language's syntactic and semantic patterns are changed on a large scale following a model language in which the speakers are bilingual and which is the dominant language of the speakers.

===Term properties===
The corresponding relational adjective is ''metatypic'' (e.g. "metatypic change"), and the corresponding verb is ''metatypize'' (e.g. "a metatypized language", i.e. a language that has undergone metatypy).

===Origin===
The term was introduced by [[Malcolm D. Ross]] (1996:182) and elaborated in subsequent publications. It is based on Greek ''meta-'' (a prefix sometimes used to denote change. e.g. ''metamorphosis, metabolism''), the Greek root typ- ('type'), and the Greek word-formation pattern ''prefix-root-y'' (e.g. ''ana-log-y'', ''hypo-cris-y'', ''syn-onym-y'').
