Inflection
Inflection

a. The level of importance has not yet been given. The class level of this article is B-class. It was given this rating because it still lacks in more specific detail. It wouldn't satisfy serious a serious researcher.

b. There are several issues the comments address. They mostly talk about adding additional languages to have clearer examples. One person mentioned that the intro is too long and not clear enough. A person trying to learn about it for the first time would be confused.

c. One discussion talks about the inflection of Hakka. They're unable to find a source to up the claim "the possessive adjectives are formed by inflection." In Mandarin 的 is added after personal pronouns to create possessive adjectives and the equivalent to that in Hakka they found is 个. The discussant collected some simple data and found that "the preposition 个 is employed for genitive and no audible inflection was observed." This discussant proposed removing this portion from the page since there is no reliable source. Another discussion was about the lack of Old Irish on the page. They said that Old Irish has an extremely high number of inflections. Also saying that none of it's descendants were mentioned either and they are also highly inflected languages.

d. Since we had a whole chapter on inflection I'd say that whatever we learned was in more detail than this page but they definitely had more language examples than we did in class. There was a section on inflectional morphology and we went over that before going over inflections so I'm glad they included a section on that. Though it could be worked on, adding more examples would definitely help.

e. I wouldn't say I was convinced of anything on the talk page. People brought some suggestions about adding more language examples than anything really morphological related. It was fun reading about Hakka and Mandarin even if the information doesn't have a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socksquad (talk • contribs) 18:01, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
