| | PHONETICS - LoveToKnow Article on PHONETICS |
 | | The rise and decay of infiexions, and the development of grammatical forms generally, are, from the formal point of view, mainly phonetic problems; and phonetics enters more or less into every department of historical and comparative grammar. | | | In vowels the element of voice is the predominant one: a vowel is voice modified by the different shapes of the supergiottal passages. | | | But the phonetic structure of French is so abnormal, so different from that of other languages, that the attempt to force a Broad Romic French notation on such a language as English is even more hopeless than it would be to reverse the process. |

| | Dunia - A World Language |
| | There are a number of grammatical or structural words that are need to carry out the purposes that endings fulfill in languages that are not isolating. | | | Verbal particles include gou and yao to show past and future tense if this is not obvious from the context, le and zhe to show completed and continuous aspect and shou and cheng to show passive and medial voice. | | | Normal word order in Dunia is subject-verb-object as in English and Mandarin Chinese and no particles are necessary to indicate the subject or the object if this order is used. |

| | Linguistic Features of the Chinese Language Family |
| | For example, a question asked in Chinese is not necessarily indicated by a rise of the voice at the end of a phrase or sentence. | | | Instead, a final interrogative particle or other grammatical means may be used. | | | Rather than adding, for example, an ending (such as -ed in English) to indicate a past tense, Chinese speakers use particles (such as le, which indicates completion or a new situation) and context (words like yesterday or next year) to place ideas in time. |

| | Who's Afraid of POV? |
| | Mostly, these works are written in the voices of their authors or in Unlimited point of view, where the author provides all the information his readers may need. | | | If the author uses the grammatical third person but does not present an Unlimited view of the characters, choosing instead to show only the external, observable behaviors and dialogue of all of his characters, for example, as Ernest Hemingway and Alain Robbe-Grillet do, then the point of view is Outer Limited. | | | Point of view is not determined by setting, time period, or atmosphere, nor is it determined by whether or not the author's personal beliefs in any way correspond with those expressed in the novel (by characters in thoughts, monologues, or dialogue, or by an omniscient voice in Unlimited point of view). |

| | voice - Columbia Encyclopedia article about voice |
| | voice, grammatical category according to which an action is referred to as done by the subject (active, e.g., men shoot bears) or to the subject (passive, e.g., bears are shot by men). | | | In Latin, voice is a category of inflection inflection, in grammar. | | | An inflectional affix carries certain grammatical restrictions with it; for example, with the plural inflection -s, a change from singular to plural in the noun tree/trees requires a concommitant change in the verb form from singular to plural: "the tree is green," "the trees are green. |
