	Language in India
		Descriptive adjectives that do not have direct antonyms are said to have indirect antonyms by virtue of their semantic similarity to adjectives that do have direct antonyms.
		As the function of descriptive adjectives is to express values of attributes, and that nearly all attributes are bipolar, antonymy becomes important in the organization of descriptive adjectives.
		And because their syntactic and semantic properties are a mixture of those of adjectives and those of nouns used as noun modifiers, rather than attempting to integrate them into either structure Tamil word net will maintain a separate file of relational adjectives with cross references to the corresponding nouns.

	How to create a language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Languages can have a regular stress rule, in which case you only have to mention it, or it can be irregularly stressed, in which case you should indicate it.
		Thus, a language that groups (treats alike) S and A is an accusative language (P gets the accusative case); a language that groups S and P is an ergative language (A gets the ergative case); and a language that groups S and A or S and P according to the verb is an active language.
		An ergative language, as we saw, is one that marks the subjects of transitive verbs with one case (ergative, ERG), and the subjects of intransitive verbs and objects of transitive ones with another case (absolutivo, ABS).

	Dynamics of Change in Language
		But the mere use of such vocabulary as adjectives, adverbs, nouns and verbs increases what could be called their actual extension.
		Vocables may disappear from the language or they may change in structure; that is, they may transform from the sort of vocables that we understand readily and use accordingly, to the sort that is not well understood and used expertly nonetheless.
		To be more specific, the extension of a vocable is a gradient of instances that ranges, early on, from lexical uses entrenched in perceptual cues to instances that, later on, may become very abstract, even vague, and in extreme cases become functionalized uses.
