	Weak (grammatical term) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In grammar, the term weak (originally coined in German: schwach) is used in opposition to the term strong (stark) to designate a conjugation or declension when a language has two parallel systems.
		Although the term "weak noun" is very useful in German grammar to describe this very small and distinctive group, the term "strong noun" is less commonly heard, since it would have to include many other noun types which should not necessarily be grouped together.
		Verbs with a weak radical are termed weak verbs, and form partially regular exceptions to the normal conjugation rule.

		In linguistics, grammatical genders, also called noun classes, are classes of nouns requiring different agreement forms on determiners, adjectives, verbs or other words.
		Gendered pronouns and their corresponding inflections vary considerably across languages: there are languages that have different pronouns and inflections in the third person only to differentiate between humans and inanimate objects, like Hungarian and Finnish.
		Also not to be confused with grammatical gender is the variety of gender-describing common names some tribal languages have for intersexual or transgender individuals.

		Third, grammatical models are well suited to representing dependencies between events that may be widely separated in an observed sequence (Chomsky, 1956), which are commonplace in organizational routines.
		It is simultaneously the counterpart of a wide range of terms employed in everyday life and in various theoretical languages, including those of orthodox and behavioral economic theory; among these terms are decision rule, technique, skill, standard operating procedure, management practice, policy, strategy, information system, information structure, program, script and organization form.
		Grammatical models of organizational routines provide a convenient way to summarize those possibilities and render them available for inspection and analysis, but they leave the enactment of particular patterns open to unfold anew each time.

	Universality of grammar and grammatical universals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The development of 'weak' grammatical morphemes which are used highly schematically and therefore also pleonastically-redundantly, has also always to be regarded against the background of the history of a language and is therefore by no means universal.
		The higher the number of such grammatical morphemes and markings, the more complex the grammar in question becomes, and this complexity increases considerably by the fact that these morphemes develop in turn a number of uses and norms, and the more intricate the net of markings, the more complex become the mutual delimitations and subnorms.
		Grammatical morphemes are weak signs to the extent that they are used schematically, approximately and analogously, and not only when they are absolutely necessary.

		The Central--Eastern weak obstruent d and the historically identical Western z are typically pronounced as a fricative.

		And we may even treat all five in terms of one, by "reducing" them all to the one or (what amounts to the same thing) "deducing" them all from the one as their common terminal ancestor.
		This relation we could express in temporal terms by saying that the term selected as ancestor "came first"; and in timeless or logical terms we could say that the term selected is the "essential", "basic", "logically prior" or "ultimate" term, or the "term of terms", etc.'.

	Grammatical Shift For The Rhetorical Purposes: Iltifat And Related Features In The Qur'an

		Along with iltifāt I shall discuss analogous features of this nature, involving grammatical shift for rhetorical purposes; though some of these were not generally labelled as iltifāt, they were none the less considered as related to it.
		But already by the time of Ibn al-Mu'tazz (296/909) we find that the use of the term to denote, broadly, parenthesis, has become secondary; it now refers more frequently to what is defined as departure by the speaker from address to narration or from narration to address and the like (wa-mā yushbih dhālik).
