  4. Invented new way to present grammar transformations

Invented new way to present grammar transformations

Jarek Hajduk

In this update, I've made several improvements to how grammar content is presented and organized on the website.

New Visual Language for Word Transformations

I've invented a new visual language to present word transformations more clearly. I'm really excited about that, because I think I've found a fantastic solution. So far, I've been struggling a lot with how to present these transformations in a clear and easy to understand way.
I named it GaTeX in my code as a joke (sounds like LaTeX). It allows me to inline simple things like endings
'
softening
e
in text or more complex transformations like
brat
+
a
=
brat
a
. Unfortunately, it impacts the line height of the text, but I think that's a good compromise. Below is an even more complex transformation: an example of declining samochód (car) in Locative Singular Case:
samochód
noun
+
'
softening
e
=
samochód
take stem
+
ó ➜ o
replace
+
d ➜ dzi
soften
+
e
attach
=
samoch
o
dzi
e
=
samochodzie
Locative Singular
I can even make it bigger if I want to 😎
samochód
noun
+
'
softening
e
=
samochód
take stem
+
ó ➜ o
replace
+
d ➜ dzi
soften
+
e
attach
=
samoch
o
dzi
e
=
samochodzie
Locative Singular
I hope you like it! I've already updated one article to use this new approach. I'll gradually migrate all the other articles to use GaTeX, but it will take a while as there are dozens of articles and the work must be done manually.

Articles Tree Improvements

I'm constantly adding minor improvements to the website. I noticed that the articles tree isn't very clear. It's a bit confusing that some folders are navigable and others are not. My plan is to make all folders non-navigable. Most of them contain only a list of links to their children. If there is a folder that actually contains some content, I will migrate it to a child called "Introduction" or something similar. I've already fixed some of the folders.

Noun Declension Articles Organization

I had a dilemma about where to put articles about noun declension . They could go in either the "cases" or "nouns" folder. I decided to put them in the "cases" folder and add redirecting links in the "nouns" folder in case someone looks there for them.

Noun Declension Book

Cases - Noun Declension

You can support my website and my Youtube Channel by buying my grammar book on Amazon. In that book I have clearly explained, how to create different forms of noun depending on the case, number, and gender.
After reading this book you will be able to decline any noun in the Polish language. This book also contains exercises with answers, which will help you practice what you learn.
