A linguistic universal is a pattern that occurs systematically across natural languages, potentially true for all of them. For example, ...
The following list is verbatim from the list printed in the appendix of Greenberg's Universals of Language [1] and "Universals Restated", [2] [3] sorted by context. The numbering is fixed to keep Greenberg's number associations as these are commonly referenced by number; e.g.: "Greenberg's linguistic universal number 12".

She is a founding member of the Centre for Language Evolution, [1] with her research focusing on how typological universals are shaped by properties of human cognition. [2] Culbertson is best known for her work investigating universals of word order and morphological categories using the experimental method of Artificial Language Learning. [2]
On the one hand, the hierarchy implies that no language distinguishes a trial unless having a dual, and no language has dual without a plural. On the other hand, the hierarchy provides implications for the morphological marking: if the plural is coded with a certain number of morphemes, then the dual is coded with at least as many morphemes.
