compare to Huet, past passive participle

Opened this issue · 2 comments

This issue summarizes differences and similarities noticed in the comparison of past passive participles ; the methodology is described in the readme for huetcompare/parts-ppp.

stem comparison

huet_stems_ppp.txt summarizes the stems that appear in passive past participle forms in the SL_parts.xml file from Huet. Two noteworthy details are

  • the same stem value is used, regardless of the gender of the declined form. Specifically, there is no specific mention of a feminine stem.
  • the underlying root of any participle is NOT specified in the SL_parts file. Some computation (probably involving the roots appearing with passive past tense conjugational forms in SL_roots.xml) could backtrack to find the root from which a given participle stem was derived; but it would be useful to have this root identified within the records of the SL_parts file.

pysan_stems_ppp.txt summarizes the stems that appear in the passive past participle stems of
MW-verb-ppp.txt of the pysan system.

The two lists of stems are compared in
compare_stems_ppp.txt.

This comparison is organized into categories:

  • 524 cases of stems which appear in both sources
  • 1190 cases of stems which appear only in pysan.
  • 275 cases of stems which appear only in the Huet source

declension table comparison

huet_decl_tables_ppp.txt contains 2397 passive past participle declension tables derived from Huet's SL_parts.xml.

Each of these appears on one line of the file.

There is currently no file of pysan generated declension tables. Such declensions are of the very common form of adjectives ending in 'a'; so no significant differences would be expected between pysan and Huet
computations for a given ppp stem .
