Cryptotype or covert categories of language is a concept coined by Benjamin Lee Whorf which describes semantic or syntactic features, that do not have a morphological implementation, but which are crucial for constructing and understanding of the phrase. The cryptotype is understood in opposition to the phenotype or overt category, namely a category that is overtly marked as such.
