noun declensions #27

Open mebbott opened 2 years ago

mebbott commented 2 years ago

I like how we are introducing the different cases and their functions in their own sections, along with the endings.

At what point should we show a complete paradigm, with model words? How are we asking them to practice these? Is there an equivalent of a synopsis on the noun / adjective side?

And what about the vocative? Is there a place for introducing that somewhere? It does show up, since Euphiletos is speaking to the jury...

neelsmith commented 2 years ago

I was thinking of saving the vocative for spring when they see 1st- and 2nd-person forms.

But otherwise complete paradigms (declensions without vocative) would make sense in module 2, I think.

mebbott commented 2 years ago

Okay, assigning myself the task of adding full paradigms (no vocative) after the introduction of indirect and direct object functions.

I put the vocative forms in as I started doing patterns of persistent accents, but we can remove them there. They don't really add anything for learning those patterns.

neelsmith commented 2 years ago

If you have no objections, I think I should take this one over: it's too easy to include machine-generated declensions!

neelsmith commented 2 years ago

I've got code that can generate markdown declension tables, with a flag to let you include/omit vocative.

mebbott commented 2 years ago

Great! Perhaps these can go in the "review/reference" section—it should be easy enough to turn to that as we are talking about full declensions, right?

neelsmith commented 2 years ago

Yes. I'll close this when I've pasted those in for Module 2.
