User:Joeystanley/Valency Project

I like learning about valency and transitivity, but it seems that the pages on this topic are either not well done or not linked well. This space is therefore going to be used to help me solve some of these problems.

Pages that fall under this category

All of these have been added to Category:Transitivity and valency

Creating a new category

edit

See Help:Category, Wikipedia:Categorization, and similar pages for help on the topic.

Created the Category:Transitivity and valency.

edit

I've created a sidebar to help navigate and group the pages together. For help pages, see Wikipedia:Navigation templates and Template:Sidebar.

The sidebar can be found here: Template:Transitivity and Valency

Possible new pages

edit

Extended transitives and intransitives: mentioned in Changing valency, ch. 4 with the Motuna language.

Since pages typically shouldn't be both parent and daughter categories, some of these have been removed from Category:Verb types.
