I think that as times goes along we're gonna be dumping words into the dictionaries on a regular basis, so the language stuff is going to be erratic one way or another.

Oh my Dawkins (I'm Atheist, deal with it) (2014-04-21 15:03:35) :
I suppose it's, grammatical, in, Shatnerology?
/r/circlejerk and 4chan's /sci/ have a longstanding tradition of trying to provoke and mislead militant atheists by pairing images of science educators with irrelevant quotations. There is another tradition (though I am not sure which is older) wherein images of Taylor Swift are supplemented with quotations from der Führer-und-Reichskanzler, often to great effect. (Unfortunately it does not work nearly as well in reverse.)

1) One last plea: why not have both? Merge the syntax and morphology sections, then have an appendix of tables. After all, it works for teaching grammars.
6) That sounds promising. Above all else, include lots of examples.
8) My real issue is that I feel you set out a lot of vague descriptive categories without providing a concrete justification—e.g. a grammar of a Bantu language can justly get away with vaguely summarizing what each noun class [i]tends[/i] to include without b...

I've recently fixed support for [tt]break[/tt] in Octavia, so it should get a lot easier to return to working on this. (Previously it couldn't be used from within a nested block, e.g. an [tt]if() {}[/tt] statement inside of a [tt]while() {}[/tt].)

Hanam, a mixed language (2014-04-19 14:41:53) :
Second-order Markov chain. That's all you had to say!
Looks neat, though! Definitely has potential for koineization. I see you're using syllable structure from the whole dataset but restricting composition to the same row—how are you doing that without modifying the transition frequency table? Do you just throw out hits to bad characters, or are you rewriting the frequency table to exclude them afterwards?

As mentioned elsewhere:
1. It seems really, really weird to me to break up morphology and syntax so deeply. I realise that there are other grammars that do this, and that it may be marginally more convenient for an expert who only occasionally needs to look up a few inflections or syntax rules [i]but not both[/i], but it's definitely anti-didactic, and for a conlang's grammar I think it's a lot more useful to assume the reader knows little or nothing about how the language works.
