artificial language

Noun

 * 1) constructed language
 * 2) formal language
 * 3) * ibid., page 52
 * The question remains open whether such a result could be achieved merely by tinkering with a natural language, or whether it requires starting from scratch. The idea of starting from scratch, constructing an artificial language constrained only by the demands of logic, has inspired a philosophical tradition (though one whose merits are nowadays being questioned). Russell, for example, coined the expression "philosophical logic" to represent his view that the workings of natural language, and of our thought, could be adequately represented only by an artificial language, the language of his Principia Mathematica.

User talk:Dontdropmeheart

Abortion, i know its a hard hitting topic, and i know that there is allot of contriversy in it and surrounding it, i would like to hear, or rather read your views on the subject. I myself am very strongly anti abortion, unless you where raped or there is significant evidence that the mother, the baby, or both will die or be severly disfigured or malformed when or during birth. I do not think that a woman has a right to remove a living thing from her body, when she willfully brought that living thing into this world. Pregnancy, and babies do not just spontanously appear in people, someone has to have created it, and i think that the woman who did, should pay for her mistakes. I realize, of course that the world is over populated already, but perhaps such strict laws on abortion will make people think twice befor having sex. There are adoption homes, and things of that nature for unwanted children. I do not think they should be deprived of the life they were readily given.

Talk:Basque

Is Basque really a proper noun in this case? Juzeris 01:14, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * In the case of both the language and a person of Basque origin yes I believe those are both proper nouns in English. — Hippietrail 03:32, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * Ok, I wouldn't argue about English in this situation. It seems to me that my language background, particularly Latvian, influence my understanding of the world and especially what is proper noun and what isn't. And editing late at night appears not very useful. :( Juzeris 00:22, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I think proper nouns vary from language to language and at least in English there is great confusion arising from the fact that not all capitalised words are proper nouns. In this case I'm 90% sure that Basque meaning the language is a proper noun, but only about 90% sure that Basque meaning a person is a proper noun. In English we capitalise all country names and language names, and also adjectives derived from there. But even I'm not 100% sure! — Hippietrail 01:18, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * That's what I was not aware of. Right now I can't think of any exclusion to the law of capitalising proper nouns in Latvian. I knew that in English you capitalise the nouns meaning countries, languages and the people representing those countries or languages. However, I hadn't really thought of it. In Latvian you would capitalise only the country, but not the language or people. Accordingly, in Latvian only the country name is a proper noun.

 * What about the names for the days of the week? And months? Are they proper nouns too? In this case I'm not sure about Latvian, though you don't capitalise these either. Juzeris 04:07, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * The names of the days of the week and the months of the year are always capitalised in English but I'm honestly unsure if they are really proper nouns or not - intuition tell me to say yes but I'm hesitant. I should check the Wikipedia article again but I think its noun article is surprisingly bad! — Hippietrail 05:12, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Usage notes

 * Since wīf is a grammatically neuter noun, all accompanying articles, determiners, and adjectives take neuter forms:  þæt ealde wīf (" the  old woman").
 * However, pronouns referring back to wīf are almost always feminine: Ġesiehst þū þæt wīf sēo þǣr stent? Canst þū hīe ? ("Do you see the woman who [feminine] is standing there? Do you know her ?"). The same applies to the neuter word and the masculine word, whose grammatical genders also disagree with their natural genders.

Clitic?
Is this really a clitic, or some other part of speech? --Vladisdead 04:23, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

 * I've changed that to the more standard heading "Suffix." If there is some dispute, then the mention of "Clitic" belonds in a usage note if anywhere. -- [ Connel MacKenzie] 20:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It's a clitic form of the auxiliary verb have, not a suffix. A suffix is a bound morpheme attached to a root to form a word, while a clitic is a word phonologically bound but syntactically independent. I'll move this page back to 've. Read the following thesis:
 * Zwicky, Arnold M. & Pullum, Geoffrey K. (1983), "Cliticization vs. Inflection: English n't", Language 59(3): 502-513.
 * — T AKASUGI Shinji 07:02, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Possess
Is the second meaning listed really true? Shouldn't it just be listed as "Non-standard" instead of "Some dialects"? What dialects might they be? -- [ Connel MacKenzie] 20:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

It would not be 'non-standard'; it is a hallmark of both exceedingly proper and exceedingly old-fashioned British English. 'I've no choice but accept it', 'They've an idea that they can...', 'You've two choices' are all acceptable under either of those circumstances. (Sometimes Americans do it too, but I've only seen it in the script of the DS translation of Final Fantasy IV, which had exceedingly literary writing.) --90.196.150.122 20:52, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

RFC discussion: July 2016–December 2019
Those three entries are in Category:English clitics. 'd, linked to from 've, is not listed as a clitic but as a suffix. -'s (note the hyphen) has a verb part of speech with the headword line "-'s (clitic)" and then other parties of speech with the headword line "’s" (should that be moved to 's, with prominent cross-links between the two entries, or should the headword lines be updated to include the hyphen?). Can someone check that the entries are in the right category, check whether other entries like 'd belong in the clitic category, and check whether some of the POS sections of -'s should be moved or have their headword-lines updated? Some of the mess in -'s is probably my doing; I'm sorry. - -sche (discuss) 19:35, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

 * I second the request for clean up with regard to this issue. Given the discussion in Talk:'ve, it seems that clitics are not suffixes (for morphological reasons), though of course they are suffixes in the sense that they are written affixed to the ends of other words.  Accordingly, I propose the following:
 * We should use section headings that reflect the POS served by the clitic, e.g. ====Verb==== . My rationale is that, when parsing, clitics must be identified as having separate parts of speech from the words they are affixed to.  Consider the sentences "she's talking" and "let's eat", where 's acts as an auxiliary verb and as a pronoun, respectively.  Simply tagging this as suffix robs the parse of useful information.
 * We should use headword macros of the form  for the appropriate POS.  This lists the term in both, e.g., Category:English verbs and Category:English clitics and clearly marks the definition with "(clitic)".  To my knowledge, there is no separate clitic headword macro, though one could be defined as suggested.
 * Note: This macro will also list the word in Category:English lemmas, which appears to be correct given the categorization of Category:English clitics. There are possible workarounds if this is not desired.
 * Undecided: We may also want to use "cat3=suffixes" in order to list the term in Category:English suffixes as well. Clitics aren't the same as other suffixes, but I suspect many users will expect to find them in Category:English suffixes because they occur at the ends of words.  (Clitics can also be prefixes, though mostly in languages other than English; the only English candidate I can think of is  s' , as in s'ok.  Noting this via category inclusion seems appropriate.)
 * We should avoid the use of hyphens in clitic page titles already demarcated with apostrophes. This seems to be the present trend, and it serves to establish clitics' distinction from other affixes (i.e., their syntactic independence).  English clitics almost always have apostrophes where the hyphen would go; the only notable exception is -s', though this is a weird case as either a hybrid non-clitic plural -s and clitic possessive 's or a modified possessive 's after an existing s (itself not a suffix).  (Note that -n't is not a clitic!)
 * We may nonetheless want to add usage notes indicating that the form should always occur affixed to the preceding word, unless we are confident that users will interpret the apostrophe itself to indicate that. (We currently assume users interpret the hyphen that way.)
 * Alternately: We could go the opposite route and always use hyphens in clitic page titles. This eliminates any possibility of confusion between clitics and other entries with apostrophes at either end such as 'twas and doin'.  Further, it would separate the entries for s' as it occurs in, e.g., boys' club and s'ok (assuming the later had an entry and indeed is a clitic).
 * Rriegs (talk) 02:05, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

 * These may be moved given a related discussion, which I am now cross-linking: Requests_for_deletion/English (which will be found after archiving at Talk:-'re). - -sche (discuss) 22:50, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Category talk:English contractions

"'Tis" is listed under "t", but "'d" is listed under "'". Any idea how to make it go under "d"? — Paul G 08:34, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Someone "helpfully" added this list to a parent category that is not applicable. The list of abbreviations is intended to show things that are in essence, abbreviations (including some other types of shortenings.)

Contractions do not belong in that category. If you wish to create something like category:Shortenings then each of these categories could certainly fit in there. Do not overload the original meaning of a category. And do not subversively change that category description to now include your new subcategory when you would be destroying the purpose of the orignal category. Do not destroy the original category by adding inappropriate subcategories.

--Connel MacKenzie 21:42, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Connel's reversion
 Please let's not beat around the bush. It was I who made that change. If you are going to undo it, please be so kind as to explain why you've undone it. You've generically (and unhelpfully) mentioned the category of the error, but you haven't explained why you don't consider contractions to be a form of abbreviation, which is specifically the issue at hand. It seems to me that a contraction is very much a form of abbreviation, since it is the shortening of a term or set of terms for the sake of concision. How is that not an abbreviation?

Abbreviations, Contractions, Acronyms vs. regional dialect
Abbreviations are written shortenings of words such as Mon. meaning Monday. These are not normally used in speech. Contractions are shortening of 2 words into one. These are used in speech and not normally used in formal writing. Acronyms are shortenings of multiple words into a group of single letters or short syllables that are used in both speech and writing. Examples are DOD for Department of Defense and FEMA for Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the contractions shown are in fact not contractions, but regional dialect. WHATCHA DOIN? is not two contractions representing WHAT ARE YOU DOING? At best these are regional dialect or as my high school english teacher would've said, lazy speech. In ending it would be more definitive to provide separation of the four items

If possible, we should have the gender for Arabic nouns. It would also be nice to include the feminine form of adjectives, and possibly the plural versions. I can't recall just which forms there are - dual? — Hippietrail 14:00, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Mess
Stephen G: The mess I'm talking about is all those words being on the same page. They shouldn't be. You wouldn't have goodness and advante on the same page, right? Jon Harald Søby 09:26, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * This is nothing like goodness and advante. Arabic-to-English dictionaries proceed by roots, most of which are triliteral. All the words on this page have the triliteral root حسن.
 * Arabic verbs are unusual in that there are eleven verb classes. Class I is the simplest form (hásana). Class II is formed by doubling the second radical: hássana. (But, since double letters are not written in Arabic, both forms are spelt حسن). Class III is like Class I with the first vowel lengthened: há:sana. Class IV prefixes a glottal stop, drops the first vowel, and adds an initial helping vowel to make it pronounceable: ’áhsana. Class V prefixes "t" to Class II: tahássana. And so it goes.
 * Semantically, Class I is the simple verb. Class II is intensive, causative, declarative, denominative. Class III is conative ("to try to") and always transitive. Class IV is causative. Class V is the reflexive of Class II, also passive. Class VI is reciprocal, denotes pretence. Class VII is reflexive, then passive. Class VIII is reflexive, sometimes passive. Classes IX and XI denote colors and bodily defect (to be red, to be blind, etc.). Class X means asking or thinking that Class I should be done, thus causative.
 * The important thing is that all of these Verb Classes pertain immediately to the root (in this case, H-S-N حسن).
 * Note also that the nouns and adjectives are also spelt حسن in the masculine singular forms.
 * If you ever have a chance to see a good Arabic-to-English dictionary (such as Hans Wehr’s Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic), you will see what I mean. You have to have a certain familiarity with the language before you can even look a word up, due to the fact that you must first reduce the word in question to its root form. For instance, تقدم (taqáddum = precedence, priority) is found under قدم (qádama = to precede). Some words are very tricky, because certain radicals (especially the glottal stop, y and w) often disappear in many of the forms of a word, and you have to know what it is before you can find it.
 * Simply put, Arabic dictionaries work very differently from European dictionaries. All of the words on this حسن page belong here. What is needed are the redirects for each of the forms, to bring the searcher to this page. —Stephen 10:15, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I understand, but I still believe that all of those forms should have their own pages. You wouldn't put tables and table on the same page. Or, well, you could, but according Wiktionary policies, you shouldn't. If this is for a prefix, it should simply state that it is a prefix… Jon Harald Søby 11:59, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

 * A few of those forms (the few that have different spellings than simply حسن) could profitably have their separate pages, but they would still need to be on this page. When an experienced student of Arabic looks up the triliteral root حسن, he expects to find what is one this page...just as English-speakers expect to see better and best on the good page.
 * حسن isn’t a prefix at all, it’s a root. The Semitic languages are extremely root-conscious. All Arabic words are roots, upon each of which one of around 75 set patterns is placed. Where English or German has "words", Arabic has roots...grammar and semantic variation is applied to the roots by the use of vowel patterns. An Arabic dictionary is mostly just roots, with "words" arising in the examples and illustrations.
 * And that’s why Arabs usually cannot tell you what a "word" in isolation means. In isolation, it’s simply a root...it doesn’t receive its defining pattern until it takes its position in a phrase or sentence.
 * The three letters حسن, spelt exactly this way, are pronounced variously as: hasuna, husn, hassana, hasan, husnu, husni, husnan, husnin, husnun, hasanu, hasana, hasani, hasanan, hasanin, hasanun, and more. And these exact three letters may be a noun, two different verb classes, an adjective or an adverb, all depending on the precise context. But even the forms that are spelt slightly differently, such as the elatives, still belong to the triliteral root حسن. And while some elatives deserve a page of their own (such as ’akbar اكبر), they still belong on the base page (just as English superlatives and comparatives go on the basic adjective page).
 * So yes, some of these words could have their own page, but they all still need to be here, because they are the "definition" of the triliteral root حسن. —Stephen 12:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

why is there a cleanup tag here? The entry was clearly written by someone who is aware of Arabic grammar, while the rfc was added by someone who isn't. Unless you want to have Arabic entries with full Harakat (the horror), you will need to keep all these entries on one page. If h2 categorization by stem class is not "standard", well, that is why nobody bothered to lay out a clean About:Arabic language yet. Wiktionary would profit ever so greatly if editors who have no knowledge of $LANGUAGE were content to leave alone $LANGUAGE entries by editors who do have knowledge of $LANGUAGE. 83.78.7.49 18:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The cleanup tag is here because all languages on Wiktionary use the same system. If we have custom ways of layout out Marathi and Maori and Amuzgo as well, how will anybody be able to find anything? It is certain that Stephen is extremely knowledgeable of Arabic but that is besdide the pragmatic issues of building a dictionary of all languages. The reasons we put related and derived words on their own pages are several. 1) Because the people who use translating dictionaries often do not know enough about a language to know whether the word they wish to translate is in dictionary form or an inflected form or a derived form or a form with attached clitics or many other grammatically possibilities. Somebody looking up الأحسن doesn't always know they should be looking under حسن. Those who do know this usually already know the translation. 2) We can't just link all of the complicated forms to the basic form because we are a dictionary of all langauges and in very many cases the same written form will need to redirect to one page for one language and a different page for the next language. Arabic script is used and has been used formerly for many languages besides the Arabic, Persian, and Urdu which are the most famous. For a monolingual dictionary or even a bilingual dictionary for two languages in different scripts I 100% agree that the arrangement on this page is best. Not just for Arabic but for English also. The problem is that multilingual dictionaries have to take a lot more into account. — Hippietrail 10:35, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

 * while I disagree with "those who do know this usually already know the translation" (recognizing a prefix or a desinence isn't equivalent to knowing 3,000 Arabic roots), I see your point. The simple fact is that حسن as a verbal root has five entries. Now what is the problem with listing these by stem class instead of "Verb, Verb, Verb, Verb and Verb"? It still says "Verb" on every heading, so those who don't know what to make of the stem class still recognize the entries are about Verbs. The multilingual aspect is fully resolved by having an "Arabic" h2 section, and everything under this h2 section will relate to the Arabic language, regardless whether there is an additional "Farsi" h2 section. Your point that a translation dictionary will be of limited use to people with zero knowledge of either target or source language is very very true, but inherent in the concept itself. We should do all we can to assist people finding things (with redirects, warning templates, the works), but in the end we cannot present things simpler than they actually are. Dbachmann 14:45, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 * note that discussions of such general nature would belong on About Arabic. Dbachmann 14:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually I have no problem with listing the stem class. This is exactly the sort of thing we should do with as many languages as possible. You can never have too much grammatical info on a word. Stem class is quite as important as gender in my opinion. I don't think "Verb #" is the best way to present it just as I wouldn't like "Noun m" and "Noun f". Grammatical info such as gender, countability, plural, inflection goes on the headword & inflection line below the POS line. I would leave "Verb" as POS and put something like "stem class #" on the next line which makes the number less of a mystery to people not so knowledgeable in Arabic. — Hippietrail 09:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

more RFC tagging
When we have a complex English word, we delineate the portions that differ by their etymology. The way this is currently broken apart randomly is just wrong, in so many ways. If these really do conjucate so radically differently, the closest analogy would be multiple etymology sections, right? Why go out of the way, to make this even more complicated, by smushing definitions into a single verb heading, with incorrect multiple inflection templates? --Connel MacKenzie 01:55, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Actually looking at the rendered characters, I do not understand why these have been placed on the same page, at all. They are ===Derived terms=== and nothing more.  --Connel MacKenzie 01:57, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

 * On English pages, you can have separated entries for do, did, done, and doing, but all of them also belong on the main page under do. On Russian pages, you have have separate entries for genitive singular, genitive plural, accusative singular, accusative plural, and so on, but all the declension forms also belong all together on the base page. Arabic is verbally oriented, and all of the verb stems, from I though XI, belong together on the base page. Besides this, when you look up an English word, you usually drop the suffixes -s/-es and -ed and look for what’s called the citation form. In Arabic, the vast majority of words are have a triliteral base, and, since Arabic "words" can take on 20,000 or more different forms (not counting spelling differences due to vowel pointing), it is a common practice to strip a word down to its basic root, and this is how Arabic dictionaries are arranged. Besides the verb stem I that is, you have to include the other verb stems. Frequently the same spelling, but with a different pronunciation, also makes a noun. Different languages require a different treatment. Trying to force them into an English mold will only make the articles useless. —Stephen 02:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

 * On English pages, English entries are not arranged like they are in any other dictionary; they are arranged in the Wiktionary style. Certainly, the notion of having separate entries for each English form is not common outside of Wiktionary.

 * Please explain what you mean in a tiny bit more detail, with regard to "20,000 or more different forms." Obviously, that is an apples-to-oranges comparison, as you list (currently) 13 different spellings on the page.  I am asking why this is not 13 separate pages, each with a ===Related terms=== section, just like it would be, if we were following Wiktionary conventions, here.  --Connel MacKenzie 05:01, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I don’t see thirteen different spellings...I only see five (not counting the feminine and plural forms of nouns, and not counting the definite article in one, and not counting the ===Related terms===). Verb stems I and II are spelled identically, and the noun and adjective are also spelled the same as the verbs, though they are all pronounced differently. Arabic verbs distinguish not just tense and person the way English verbs do, but also number and gender. So, a verb has: the first person singular, first person plural, second masculine singular, second masculine dual, second masculine plural, second feminine singular, second feminine dual, second feminine plural, third masculine singular, third masculine dual, third masculine plural, third feminine singular, third feminine dual, third feminine plural; then all of these persons and numbers occur in the perfect, the imperfect the future, the subjunctive, the jussive, the energetic; and the 2nd persons also have masculine, feminine, singular, dual, and plural imperatives; then most of these persons and numbers have forms in the passive voice; so far we’re just talking about stem I...almost all verbs also have all the above forms in several or most of the other ten stems (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI); besides all of these, each stem also has masculine, feminine and plural active participles and passive participles, as well as verbal nouns, usually including multiple plural forms; then most of these forms take negative suffixes to form compound negatives; on top of all of this, Arabic verbs also take their direct and indirect objects in the form of enclitic pronouns (for example,, katabtihúlhum = you single female wrote it to them...all one word); on top of all of this, most forms may take a variety of prefixes which correspond to English prepositions and conjunctions, such as "and", "for", "to", "then", as well as prefixed particles that indicate a question or urgency (I’m just thinking of these off the top of my head, so I’m probably overlooking a number of forms); then add to this the freedom with which all of these forms may take diacritics that indicate short vowels, long vowels, doubled consonants, nunation, genitives, accusatives, nominatives, construct-state markers, and definiteness/indefiniteness, plus the fact that words may be lengthened at will for esthetic purposes and to justify text, by adding tashdid in one or more places in a word, without limitation. As example of this, using the previous example: , , , , all of which say katabtihúlhum; then add any combination of matres lectionis, such as , , a, and so on; and then you may select optional letterforms for esthetic effect, such as , and so on. I once spent some time trying to figure out how many permutations of a word there could be (but not counting vowel pointing, tashdids, swash characters, or anything like that), but strictly the different grammatical and syntatical forms that are possible, and I stopped counting at 20,000. —Stephen 07:57, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

 * As for separate pages, anyone who knows or who is studying Arabic expects to find these forms on this page, in the same way, as I tried to explain before, that an English-speaker looking something up in an English dictionary, would expect to find the principal parts of a verb listed right with the verb, not on five or six separate pages, and wold expect to find the plural of nouns on the page with the noun, not on an independent page. If you look up see in English, you expect to find the verb and the noun on the same page, along with the principle forms such as past tense, gerund, plural, etc. Someone who knows or studies Arabic expects to find at least the principal forms of a word, especially if that word is a primitive triliteral root, which is the building block of the language. Arabic verb stems are not different words like English obtain, retain, detain...the stems are like more like come, came, coming. —Stephen 08:14, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
