Steven's Peer Review

Lead Your lead is really clear and concise. It gives a great context of the language relative to its parent family and related languages. Maybe adding something about the people who speak the language would be interesting to give context though I don't think it is necessary.

Phonology Great way of prefacing each table with an intro about what you are going to talk about and then following it up with little caveats and small examples that demonstrate these caveats. I think it would be nice to link over the phoneme to its corresponding Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close_front_unrounded_vowel) like linking this. Another thing you could change is in your consonant inventory chart, you could divide up the cells into halves such that /p/ and /b/ have more of a distinction. There was a post on piazza or you can edit the source code itself to divide up the cell. I think it would be a good addition to show the distinction between voiced and voiceless. As you note, I think expanding on tone for your next draft would be great!

Morphology I like how logical your morphology section is broken up into separate headings so it's very easy to read. As you note, I think you should have an example of suffixation to give the reader a bearing on an example of suffixation and how it looks in the language. It seems like you have a lot of different types of morphology, and I'm not sure if you have the information but it would be cool to comment what is the most common form of morphology in your language. Under reduplication, I'm confused a bit by the table under "Deadjectival nominalization". Is this table saying that both of these nouns "kù~kùnɔ́, kùnù~kùnɔ́" means "thickness" and if so do they literally mean the same thing or is there some difference that could be noted? Your tables for compounding are really clear and easy to understand the examples.

Syntax Great clear examples demonstrating the basic word order of your language and the headedness. As you noted at the top I think if you add in the interliner tool to match the gloss and the words themselves together then it will be even better!

Overall Your Wikipedia page overall is extremely clear and well organized. I liked how clear the examples especially in the tables were and how logical the flow was. I think if you do the changes you cited in the brackets that you wanted to do I think it would be great for the 2nd draft.

All sections are present and most are complete. The examples are really well laid out - I like your use of tables a lot, though the glossing could be clearer but your notes indicate that you're on top of that.

The lead is very clear and to the point, though there should probably be a reference at the conclusion of the quote.

Phonology: The consonant portion of your phonology section is great - your mention of the extra consonant [dʑ] is great. I'm not sure if your vowel chart should be a replica of the structure of the IPA vowel chart though - probably talk to LMK about this if this is the way the vowels are presented in your grammar. If this is the chart you're going with, then I would mention height and location of vowels in that subsection. Your syllable structure section is amazing, super clear. Definitely include lots of examples when you expand your tone section.

Morphology: Definitely expand your affix section to include information/examples re: prefixation, suffixation, inflectional affixes, derivational affixes, etc. If your language doesn't use these I would make that super explicit so that it doesn't seem like your page is incomplete to the reader. Your reduplication and compounding sections are really clear (the examples are super well done here).

Syntax: Your syntax section looks great, I love the examples because of their clarity.

Overall: The information you have is great - very clear and easy to follow. There are definitely gaps, but you're aware of them so clearly you know what you have to do. Two small things to fix are 1) your glossing so that the lefthand sides of each word line up and 2) the vowel table question. Sophiersg (talk) 00:58, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
