------------------------------------------------------- Comments For the Word Order choice I seleceted SVO. In the research I've done of Icelandic, I haven't found any information that explicitly states that it is an SVO language. However, all the examples I've seen have been in SVO, and the information has stated that the verb always comes second. This information was not in a linguistic source, so I'm not sure if that means that Icelandic is a V2 language or not. So for the sake of simplicity I chose SVO since that is the data that I have seen, and I have constucted my test suite in SVO. If you search "V2" and "Icelandic" in Google, some stuff turns up that suggests that Icelandic is V2, but doesn't have the variant where the verb goes to the end in subordinate clauses. The Word Order page also had a selection for determiners as free words. This was a complex choice since Icelandic does have free determiners, but only in certain cases. When the determiner is a free word, it appears before the noun (as well as the adjective). However, when the determiner appears as a affix (which is the most common case), it is suffixed to the noun. Since the customization only asked to specify if determiners can appear as free words, I chose the "yes" option with det-noun as the order. I will add the suffix case to the grammar later. This was the right way to interpret those choices. For the Sentential Negation section, I chose the independent adverb option. This adverb appears directly following the verb. This is why I modifier option and selected that it modifies the verb adn appears to the right of the verb. In the corupus that I have looked at for Icelandic, however, shows this adverb appearing in many places. It could be that it is used for negations other that sentential negation, or is more free than indicated in the Icelandic grammar. Since my test suite only contains the negative adverb as a verb modifier, this choice should predict the correct grammatical judgement of the test suite sentences. It does seem likely that the negative word is also used for constituent negation. In choosing the words for the lexicon portion of the customization, I made some choices that were different than what the standard dicitonary translations defines as words. For the words "cat" and "dog", the dictionary translates them as "köttur" and "hundur". I chose to write them in as "kött" and "hund" I think that the nomative for form for these types of words is adding the "-ur" suffix since the accustive is just of the form "kött". I might end up changing this, but it seems like it would be easier to add a nominative suffix then to try to strip a word for accusative form. Yes, that should be more straightforward. At the time of submitting this version, I am unable to run the test suite due to the stability of my linux machine. The Treehouse machines all have lkb and [incr tsdb()].
