Strong (grammatical term) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A strong inflection is a system of verb conjugation or noun/adjective declension which can be contrasted with an alternative system in the same language, which is then known as a weak inflection. The Germanic strong verb, for example, is characterised by a vowel shift called ablaut, but there is nothing comparable in the German strong adjective inflections. The term strong was coined with reference to the Germanic verb, but has since been used of other phenomena in these and other languages, which may or may not be analogous. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Strong%2B(grammatical%2Bterm)   (183 words)

Weak (grammatical term) - MindSharer Article Archive In Germanic languages, weak verbs are those verbs that have a regular inflection, in which the stem of a word is not changed by ablaut. In most Germanic languages, the preterites and past participles of weak verbs are distinguished by a dental suffix, an inflection that contains a /t/ or /d/ sound. They contrast with the strong verbs, that exhibit these changes. articles.mindsharer.com /html/Weak_verb   (128 words)

Old English [Definition] Strong verbs use the Germanic form of conjugation In linguistics, grammatical conjugation is the creation of derived forms of a verb from the word root by inflection (regular alteration according to rules of grammar). Some verbs that were originally strong have become weak; most foreign verbs are adopted as weak verbs; and when verbs are made from nouns (for example "to scroll" or "to water") the resulting verb is weak. In combination, these factors have drastically reduced the number of strong verbs, so that in modern English weak verbs are the dominant form (although occasionally a weak verb may turn into a strong verb through the process of analogy, such as "to spit" or "to sneak"). www.wikimirror.com /Old_English   (99 words)

The Middle Dutch case system One exception consists of agentive names ending in -are and -ere (eg riddere ["knight/rider"]) which despite their -e ending belong to the strong inflection group, as do feminine nouns ending in -heit which often have a parallel form in -heid e / -hed e. Words which end in -e in the nominative singular belong to the group with the weak inflection; a consonantal ending in this case points to a strong inflection for the word. The commonest plural endings in Middle Dutch are: -e for words which use the strong declension, -n for those with the weak declension, and -s for many words ending in -el, -en and -er (eg duvels, tekens, cloosters ["devils, signs, cloisters"]), for loan words (eg pelgrims) and for some monosyllables (eg wijfs, mans ["women, men"]). www.ned.univie.ac.at /Publicaties/taalgeschiedenis/en/mnlcasus.htm   (99 words)

Adjective Inflection in Swedish They are inflected to express number (singular or plural), gender (common or neuter), and the distinction strong/weak. In Swedish, adjectives are inflected to express degree and agreement, and both types of inflection will be dealt with here. They are not inflected for number or gender, but can express the strong/weak distinction. stp.ling.uu.se /call/swedish/fredreng.html   (596 words)

Strong (grammatical term) The term strong was coined with reference to the Germanic languages, but has since been used of some languages from other families whose inflections have similar characteristics. A strong inflection is an "irregular" inflection, in which the stem of a word changes.

conjugat.cpp CHANGES: 1.1.1997 by Antti Karttunen: Fixed inflections of the verbs "jaella" 41 ja- (NSS 28) "maata" 50 maa- (NSS 35), "taata" 50 taa- (NSS 35) and "koota" 56 koo- (NSS 38), by ensuring that their stem is gradated correctly from weak to strong when the strong form is needed. The nominal inflection of these nouns has not been implemented (the singular cases MIGHT accidentally work with some verb classes.) 2.JAN.1997 Fixed a little bit more. Transferred verbs "rangaista" and "vavista" (in our class 33) from the NSS class 24 to the unused NSS class 41, which allows us to use a different method get_abstract_noun for them than for the verbs of our classes 34 & 36. ndirty.cute.fi /~karttu/conjugat/conjugat.cpp   (2350 words)

German language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Inflection for case on the noun itself is required in the singular for strong masculine and neuter nouns in the genitive and sometimes in the dative. Although German is usually cited as an outstanding example of a highly inflected language, it should be noted that the degree of inflection is considerably less than in Old German, or in Icelandic today. It is one of the 20 official languages of the European Union. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/German_language   (4162 words)

Case Western Reserve University Indeed, what attracted me to this remarkable leadership challenge and opportunity is a strong sense that this university is at an inflection point in its history such that there will never be a better time to think big and to act boldly. Another member of our faculty noted that university leaders can set a tone and take initiatives that can be controversial, referring to the recent incidents at the University of North Carolina, where there was strong opposition to a required summer reading by students of a book about the Koran. He notes: "To the extent this university wants to promote 'societal engagement' or 'engagement with the rest of the world', these are politically loaded subjects." All the more reason, I would say, to nurture a learning environment that promotes moral discourse in a culture of deep respect for human differences. www.case.edu /menu/president/fallconvo.htm   (4162 words)

thieroff_a.html Accordingly, speakers’ doubts about the correct inflection of weak nouns are explained by the deviance of the weak class from all other declension classes of Modern German. In the second part, I investigate possible reasons for the transition of nouns from the weak to the mixed or to the strong class. In the spoken register and sometimes even in the written register, speakers of German tend to inflect certain weak nouns according to the mixed or even to the strong class. www.linguistik-online.de /16_03/thieroff_a.html   (120 words)

Critics' Choice Video Game Review: NBA Fastbreak 98 Fastbreak 's sound is very strong, particularly in the pre-game starting roster call, when the announcer's inflection changes for the home and away teams. NBA Fastbreak certainly isn't the top dog in its debut season on the virtual court, but it's a viable contender that stakes a claim with strong graphics, abundant and easy-to-use options and impressive sound. Fastbreak's worst fault is a weak control definition that leaves no clear way to execute a slam dunk. members.aol.com /Fahboughl/critic/fastb98.htm   (120 words)

ENG4660 Section I Glossary E.g., -as, an important inflection of a-stem strong masculine verbs in OE expresses nominative or accusative case and plural number; it is attached to nouns to mark that case and number. Language that mainly uses word order and function words (prepositions, auxiliary verbs, pronouns) to signal grammatical relations, rather than depending heavily on inflections. Modern English has a cosmopolitan vocabulary, a large lexicon including many morphemes borrowed from other languages, particularly French and Latin, but OE had a primarily Germanic lexicon with much dependence on word formation processes such as compounding and derivation. www.acs.appstate.edu /~mcgowant/4660glos1.htm   (2076 words)

Seven Distinctive Features of Germanic These declensions are no longer found in modern English, but compare these examples from Old English: þa geongan ceorlas 'the young fellows' and geonge ceorlas 'young fellows.' (The weak adjective ends in -an while the strong adjective ends in -e.) These two tenses are still the only ones indicated by inflection in Modern English; future and perfect tenses are expressed in phrases--e.g., I will have gone, etc. Indo-European distinctions of tense and aspect (indicates whether an action or state is viewed with regard to beginning, duration, incompletion, etc.) were lost except for the present and preterite (past) tenses. www.towson.edu /~duncan/germanic.html   (2076 words)

GRAMMATICAL MODELS OF ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESSES Although organizational and institutional structures are obviously important, there is little to be gained by calling them "deep." Perhaps more important, the lack of deep structure implies that organization theorists will never achieve the strong, intuitive sense of a pattern being "ungrammatical" that linguists have relied on so heavily in their research. There is no point, as Abell (1987) points out, in attempting to unpack every little motion or inflection as a separate piece of data. Furthermore, moves are connected to structural features of the situation; they are constrained and enabled by the physical, ritual, and competence structure of the situation (Pentland, 1992). ccs.mit.edu /papers/CCSWP176.html   (2076 words)

'Buffalo 66' In "Buffalo '66," the off-kilter love story is in the end as sugary as a heart-shaped cookie, cut with the slightly acrid jolt of strong, black coffee. Though the film is larded with such technical gimmicks as collage; freeze frame; long, uninterrupted takes; slow motion; off-center close-ups; surreal, spotlighted song and dance routines; unexpected dissolves; and blackouts, their use never comes across as an affectation but as an organic inflection of the storyteller's voice. The fairy-tale belief in the transformative potential of a boyfriend or girlfriend may not be fresh, but Gallo makes it seem newly minted by dint of his own flawed and paradoxically lovable personality, both behind and in front of the camera. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/style/longterm/movies/videos/buffalo66osullivan.htm   (648 words)

system4.htm The dentary of Karongasaurus is distinct because the rostral mandibular curvature toward the symphysis is less strong than in Nemegtosaurus, Quaesitosaurus, Antarctosaurus wichmannianus, and diplodocids, in which the mandible is U-shaped in dorsal view. The dentary of Karongasaurus flares outward anteriorly from the inflection point, a feature not observed in other sauropods. However, Nemegtosaurus, and Quaesitosaurus are considered titanosaurians in the recent analysis of Curry Rogers and Forster (2001) (see also Wilson 2002). palaeo-electronica.org /2005_1/gomani27/system4.htm   (1049 words)

German grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia German verbs may be classified as either weak, with a dental inflection, or strong, showing a vowel gradation (ablaut). In contrast to Latin or Italian, there is no grammatical feature for the absolute superlative (elative). There are three degrees of comparison: positive form, comparative form and superlative form. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/German_grammar   (1049 words)

Finnish language phonetics The consonant preceding the inflection of a word (either noun or verb) is subject to consonant gradation. Broadly, a consonant will adopt a 'strong' form if the following syllable is 'open' - containing a double vowel or not ending in a consonant - and a 'weak' form otherwise. The grammar of Finnish and the way(s) in which Finnish is spoken are dealt with in separate articles. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/f/fi/finnish_language_phonetics.html   (430 words)
