Testing the languages

Tests of the languages

This page gives access to a collection of tests applied to the languages. The battery of tests will be progressively developed. There are three groups of tests: tests of vocabulary, tests of expansions and tests of universal procedure.

The tests of vocabulary has two branches; the tests of nouns and the tests of adjectives. All these tests are exhaustive in the sense that all words of the category are reviewed. This means that all words found in the generated terms of the terminology are necessarily tested. All tests are realized on a rules and exceptions basis: this means that each word is checked against a list of exceptions and if not an exception is processed by application of an ordered set of rules. More details about this process are available in the general documentation.

The Latin tests is different of other languages: the test are performed through a lookup of the Latin dictionary.

There are two tests of nouns: a test for the gender and a test for the plural. Potentially a test for the genitive is expected for the languages where the genitive is different of the nominative, like Latin and Russian. The tests define the gender or the plural from the word termination according to the rules applied in a predefined order.

There are three tests of adjectives: a test for the gender, a test for the plural and a test for the genitive wherever if applies.

The tripples are a list of the correspondances between a noun and an adjective and a prefix in the specified language. The concordance table displays the corresponding words in all languages of the terminology. They are sorted on the specified language of the page.

The tests of expansions contain five different tests.

The terms without expansion is for terms with only the basic part and no specified expansion.

The mandatory expansions is for terms which have a mandatory expansion.

The optional expansions is for terms which have an optional expansion.

The adjective expansions is for terms which have an adjective expansion.

The lateral adjectives is about the generation of terms for the left and right members of a pair or pset. In the presence of expansions, this process must determine where the lateral adjective is applied, in fact it is always the rightmost pair in the order of expansions which receives the lateral adjective, without exception in all languages.

Finally, there are the tests of universal procedures in all languages. All universal procedures are checked for their good execution, using terms known to active them, and comparing the result to a stored value. Each individual test is normally commented.

Any test is dependent on its date of execution, as shown at the right bottom of its presentation page. The tests will be periodically refreshed in concordance with the latest updates of the website and its generating software. When reading a test page, it is important to check for the date of execution.

All tests are normally available for each language with two languages of presentation: itself and English, except Latin and English presented in English only. The working language is given in the title in full text and the presentation language is given as an acronym in two capital letters.
