Functions
Variants
Several variants of English are supported, including:
- American English (Z1689): English variant of the United States (en-US) — Wikifunctions:Human languages/Z1689
- Canadian English (Z1437): English variant of Canada (en-CA) — Wikifunctions:Human languages/Z1437
- Australian English (Z1113): English variant of Australia (en-AU) — Wikifunctions:Human languages/Z1113
- British English (Z1199): English variant of the United Kingdom (en-GB) — Wikifunctions:Human languages/Z1199
- Indian English (Z1966): English variant of India (en-IN) — Wikifunctions:Human languages/Z1966
- Pig Latin (Z1881): English language game (en-x-piglatin) — Wikifunctions:Human languages/Z1881 (a language game derived from English)
- Simple English (Z1124): simple variant of English (en-x-simple) — Wikifunctions:Human languages/Z1124
- English verb to agent noun (Z11390): morpheme which takes a verb and returns the agent that does that verb Verb -> agent noun, e.g. "dance"->"dancer"
- Join English morphemes (extends suffix English word (Z13254): add any suffix to an English word with regular changes to spelling (monosyllabic or final-syllable stress is generally assumed) to cases like re + en + able + er + s → re-enablers. suffix English word (Z13254): add any suffix to an English word with regular changes to spelling (monosyllabic or final-syllable stress is generally assumed) will correctly join re-enable + ers or re- + enablers, but re + enablers → “renablers” (incorrect). English morpheme agglutination (Z13275): Repeated suffixing of initially empty string tests the Reduce function to produce “detoxification” from a list of four morphemes (orchestrator limit exceeded with five). I doubt we’ll want to derive “toxify” from “toxic”, however.
- Derive lemmas from a form. This is envisaged as the converse of Join English morphemes. The focus would be identifying the base form (the lexeme’s lemma) rather than further segmenting the lemma. For example, “underlay” should return “underlie” (for which it is the past participle) and the noun “underlay” (for which it is the lemma) and (perhaps) the verb “underlay”, which might be the tendency of an unproductive hen or the activity of a carpet-fitter. As this is a purely functional converse, every string will have itself as a possible lemma.
- Generate Numerical prefixes of various kinds from a natural number input.
- sort English adjectives (Z19499): Sort a list of English adjectives into the correct order: quantity, opinion, size, physical quality, shape, age, colour, origin, material, type, purpose. Where equal, leave in original order.
- Intro for geographical feature: Returns a intro sentence for a geographical feature.
