Format

The UGG is written in reStructuredText, processed by Sphinx, and hosted online by Read the Docs.

See the reStructuredText Primer and the Docutils reStructuredText Directives documentation to learn how to use the syntax.

Guidelines

Please refer to the Grammar Guidelines. Take note of the following as well:

• Use simple English as much as possible. Remember that a key goal of the project is to make entries translatable.
• Summary entries should consist of one to two sentences maximum.
• Articles should include basic information that would be included in a teaching grammar along with two to three good examples.
• Article length should be 250-500 words.
• Generally, you may only review and merge content from another contributor, not your own content.

Roadmap

First stage

• Start fresh and provide descriptions of grammatical concepts that show up in Bunning Heuristic Prototype morphological data
• Reference Grammar with examples as in teaching grammars
• 1-2 sentence that is pop-upable (with “view more”)
• ~1 page for each entry

Phase 1

• Create glossary entries for each grammatical concept specified

Phase 2

• Create article entries for each grammatical concept specified

Second stage

• Tag the UGNT with specific grammatical information (e.g., possessive genitive)

Third stage

• Write syntax articles
• Tag text with syntax information
