That irregular forms (or rather, no regular forms) would speed thought or expression is an interesting idea, but it needs a lot of investigation, since it is not immediately more likely than the alternatiives. <br />I am just looking at "interesting."Kaliputrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907752362236005308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912128619655785472.post-10542951179085592562010-10-25T14:18:08.985-07:002010-10-25T14:18:08.985-07:00Yes, Euskara Batua, unified Basque.Yes, Euskara Batua, unified Basque.Kaliputrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907752362236005308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912128619655785472.post-31575236663017234542010-10-25T14:06:11.634-07:002010-10-25T14:06:11.634-07:00In case anyone is wondering, it appears you are st...In case anyone is wondering, it appears you are studying Basque.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646017031391760015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912128619655785472.post-45837469468444517162010-10-25T14:03:59.384-07:002010-10-25T14:03:59.384-07:00I've speculated that irregulars inflections re...I've speculated that irregulars inflections result in faster though & speech. I got this idea from Pinker's book Words & Rules. So in a speed-thinking englang, all the common inflections of words would be irregular (lexical).<br /><br />Outside of artlangs, I'm not sure what the benefit of half-regular verbs/noun inflections are. Just when you think you have a pattern, you have to switch gears and memorize a word. So in a word chart, one must remember which parts of the chart follow the rule and which parts are lexical. If the entire chart for "to be" was lexical (a completely unrelated word for each), I think that would be easier to learn.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09646017031391760015noreply@blogger.com
