of course your professor's syntax is really verbose and you could probably get away with just calling things A1/E1 but who am I to judge?

@badp Yeah, I'll give it a try in the next assignment.

Because (anecdote) she had a student who worked for a company that got a federal contract, didn't do all this textual analysis stuff, messed up on the design and got sued/lost half a million dollars or something.

@badp I actually really enjoyed that

I don't know why, it just clicks in my brain nicely

Sentence diagramming and the like

badp

@FAE in Italy we have a completely different system

It (subject) is based (verb) on a wide taxonomy (means complement) of sentence complements (specification complement) and (conjunction) it (subject) is (verb) completely flat (subject predicate).

@Yuki that just seems like busywork for something like that. I can understand listing know attributes and relations but to do something like what you have to do doesn't seem like as good use of time.

I can sorta understand 2/3 of those terms.

badp

...eh, if you are doing sentence analysis (conditional subordinate), then I guess it still hierarchical (principal), just it's in incognito (also principal?)

Yuki

But that's because they're kinda straightforward and I might not be understand exactly well in the context of the game.

FAE

@badp I seem to remember you linking an Italian wiki article on all this once.

badp

and (conjunction) naturally (adverb) there (preposition) is (verb, present, 3rd person singular) the (article, definite) tedious (adjective, singular) word (noun, singular) for (preposition) word (noun, singular) analysis (noun, singular)

@FAE I thought that's what it was, but couldn't be sure

badp

e.g. "on vendre" to mean "to be sold", "one is selling" (and thus, "on sale")

FAE

@badp It can be used as a subject pronoun that's without gender/specification.

badp

Okay.

FAE

@badp There's "het" in Dutch, but I'm not quite sure if it's used with the same type of equivalence.
