What it is Filled
In linguistics, the complete set of inflected forms of a word, such as the conjugation of a verb or declension of a noun, organised by grammatical categories; related notions include inflection classes and defective paradigms.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent handle grammatical paradigms by word, language, forms, class and irregularities, and separate the Kuhnian sense of paradigm.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Set of inflected forms
- Organised by grammatical categories
- Can be regular, irregular or defective
- Language-specific
What robots and AI may and may not do Filled
Must not
- Present one dialect's forms as the only correct ones.
- Invent forms for a language and present them as attested.
Only with a human decision
- Publishing grammar material for an endangered or minority language.
May
- Give and explain inflectional paradigms from grammars and dictionaries.
- Mark forms that are irregular, defective or varying by dialect.
Moral aspects Filled
- Calling dialect forms errors can stigmatise speakers.
- Accurate paradigms help preserve endangered languages.
Who is affected
- Speakers
- Learners
- Language communities
Owners Filled
Steward
Nobody owns a language; grammars and language bodies describe it.
