Discussion:
[tw] More elegant way of doing this lexicon?

I'm switching my constructed language lexicon to TW5 and I expect there's a
more elegant way of doing the english index. The TWC version is here -
http://www.silversspace.com/conlang/nyji/nyji-lexicon.html#EnglishIndex

What I was doing was making a tiddler for each English word and tagging it
English then using the old Embed plug-in to throw them all in one tiddler.
Since language is messy, it's not a one-to-one correlation in either
direction for a lot of the words.

Any ideas of an easier and better way of doing it? My current method
effectively doubles the number of tiddlers needed and since I have over 300
words, it's kinda a pain.

Thanks

Not really clear what "doing it" means, or exactly what you mean with
"double" (maybe two tiddlers per word?) - but did you know that you can
import a TW classic into a TW5 so you probably don't have to re-create your
actual word tiddlers?

Yes, I did that. I'm working on fixing all the old formatting. There's
double because there's the lexicon entry itself then the english index
entry. To use Spanish as an example instead of my weirdo language, there'd
be the lexicon entries for 'ser' and 'estar' with their definitions, notes,
and example sentences and the english index of 'to be'.

I would say that for maximum flexibility, instead of fixing the formatting,
put the various bits of information into fields. Then use template tiddlers
to display the field information as needed. If the information is stored as
fields, then you can do things like list English - word - phonetic or put
your comparable words in a list field and then for each english word you
could also list each (??) word followed by its notes.

Play with it a bit, of course, before committing to any one approach.

Good luck!

I'm not worried about *maximum *flexibility as there are just too many
parts in an entry. The standard noun has the word, between one and ten
meanings; any irregularity; an abbreviated form for deriving words; notes;
the spelling, stress, IPA, and phonetic of the singular, plural, and
paucal; and at least one translated sentence. Verbs, adjectives, and
affixes are simpler. Stamps are making my life much easier.

Still not sure how to do the English index. Some examples: 'chanyki' has
three meanings that would be listed separately (color, skin, and surface),
while 'chuBi, liBi, syBi,' and 'mymsy' would all be listed under 'here'.
I've given 'chanyki' three fields: english1, english2, and english3... I'm
sure there's a way to pull those three fields from each word entry and
match them up with their title on the EnglishIndex tiddler, I just don't
know how.

Can y'all tell I'm not a programming person? :p

Do you want to have 3 english fields, or would you prefer a single list
field with as many words as relate (e.g. [[Wordy 1]] [[Wordy 2]] [[Wordy
3]]) ??

You mention EnglishIndex tiddler. Does that mean that you have a data
dictionary with english definitions, or were you referring to a group of
tiddlers each with their respective English definitions? A data dictionary
would let you make a simple word -> definition glossary.

I don't have anything right now for the TW5 version. Is there a 101 for
doing a data dictionary?

A data dictionary is only going to give you 1:1 mappings. I think Mark's on
the right track - each tiddler has as many fields as it needs and each
field can contain a list if it needs to. You can write an interface for
entering/editing the information and you can transclude it into the view
however you like. Do you have the original data in some other form? A
spreadsheet for example? There should be a way to automate the creation of
the tiddlers if you do.

Richard

So any pointers toward telling tw5 to take the 'english' fields from all
the tiddlers tagged 'lexeme', match them with the tiddler title fields,
alphabetize them by the 'english' fields, and then throw them all in one
tiddler? Cuz I'm clueless, sorry. I'm focusing on the 10 or 11 completely
complete lexicon entries to get thing working.

Thanks

Something like:

<$list filter="[tag[lexeme]each[english]get[english]sort[]"/>

Should make your basic english list. With a variety of techniques, you can
make the list look more like something you want.

If you can make a tiddler that automatically culls and presents the items,
do you really need to throw them into a tiddler? It's usually better to
leverage the power of automation.

It helps if you post your burgeoning lexicon some place, so everyone can
see what your data is shaping up as.

Good luck,
Mark

So any pointers toward telling tw5 to take the 'english' fields from all
the tiddlers tagged 'lexeme', match them with the tiddler title fields,
alphabetize them by the 'english' fields, and then throw them all in one
tiddler? Cuz I'm clueless, sorry. I'm focusing on the 10 or 11 completely
complete lexicon entries to get thing working.
Thanks

Not any more, but I have as much time as I need to work on it. If I can

A data dictionary is only going to give you 1:1 mappings. I think Mark's
on the right track - each tiddler has as many fields as it needs and each
field can contain a list if it needs to. You can write an interface for
entering/editing the information and you can transclude it into the view
however you like. Do you have the original data in some other form? A
spreadsheet for example? There should be a way to automate the creation of
the tiddlers if you do.

Richard

I've got it on google drive here -
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2AstAs9QlRjSnhvU1ktWGF0c28

The pertinent tiddler is EnglishIndex and I'm trying to make it more or
less look like the old one at
http://www.silversspace.com/conlang/nyji/nyji-lexicon.html#EnglishIndex with
the English meaning matching up to the linked conlang words.

Is there a breathe-in, breathe-out manual to filters (aka, the first step
is breathe in...)? Because the one on tiddlywiki.com goes right over my head
Post by 'Mark S.' via TiddlyWiki
<$list filter="[tag[lexeme]each[english]get[english]sort[]"/>
Should make your basic english list. With a variety of techniques, you can
make the list look more like something you want.
If you can make a tiddler that automatically culls and presents the items,
do you really need to throw them into a tiddler? It's usually better to
leverage the power of automation.
It helps if you post your burgeoning lexicon some place, so everyone can
see what your data is shaping up as.
Good luck,
Mark

Ok, to make the following work, I made some changes to your en-Cat entry.
It looks like:

caption: Cat
changecount: 5
tags: english Mammal
taijin: [[chun]] [[kaŋi]]
title: en-cat
type: text/vnd.tiddlywiki

;Cat: {{nya{[[chun]]}}}




So I added a caption field (Cat), and a taijin (I don't know what word you
want to use so I guessed) with equivalent words (yes, I know kaŋi isn't
equivalent, but I needed to demonstrate more than one word). And I changed
the title to en-cat rather than en-Cat. The reason the title needed to
change was so that it would match the word in your english field list. TW
let's us add the en- prefix easily enough, but not change capitalization.

After these changes, you can run this code:


\define wordlist(words) <$list filter="$words$"><$link><$view field=title
/></$link>, </$list>
<$list
filter="[tag[Translation]each[english]get[english]addprefix[en-]sort[]]">
<div><b>{{!!caption}}</b>: <$macrocall $name=wordlist words={{!!taijin}}/>
</div>
</$list>



Which will generate a very short lexicon:

*Cat*: chun, kaŋi,
:



As you can see, the second definition (for the entry 'wrong') doesn't show
up, because there is no en-wrong matching tiddler.

So there's some decisions that need to be made about how you want to encode
entries. The way I did it in this example isn't the only possibly way.

About filters, did you look at the tiddler "Introduction to filter
notation" at Tiddlywiki.com ? I'm sure it's simpler than Ŋyjichɯn

Good luck!
Mark

Any idea why film and evil aren't showing up in EnglishIndex?

The problem is that the those items in the nyji language don't have
'english' fields -- they have english1 and english2 fields. You can fix
this in the short term by extending the filter:

[tag[Lexeme]each[english]get[english]]
[tag[Lexeme]each[english1]get[english1]]
[tag[Lexeme]each[english2]get[english2]] +[addprefix[en-]sort[]]

The complication is ... is there an upper limit to the english[n] fields?

Is there a data-based reason that you couldn't put all the words in a
single english list field (e.g. [[film]] [[dust]] ... etc.) ?

When you use the filter above, "film" will still not appear because neither
of the words you have for film (chachykmaŋnyki chiwkiŋam) have english,
english1, or english2 fields containing the word "film".

Good luck!
Mark
