Senses: examples: text: Aspect is indicated only templatically through pattern and vocalism combination.
ref: 2010, Nizar Y. Habash, Introduction to Arabic Natural Language Processing, →ISBN, page 52:
text: A narrow focus on form and structure, especially on the stem and prefix combinations in the usually templatically construed Athapaskan verb word and other overly theoretical studies of voice and obviation, has failed to convince several generations of speakers that linguistic analysis has anything to contribute to the documentation and preservation of their threatened languages.
ref: 2012, Anna Idström, Elisabeth Piirainen, Endangered Metaphors, →ISBN:
text: In this way, we can analyze the Arabic broken plural as having exponence expressed templatically (as an iambic foot) and also subcategorizing for a templatic sequence (a trochaic foot), which maps onto the iambic foot.

topics: human-sciences

glosses: By a templatic process.
examples: text: The account to be pursued here relies crucially on a syncategorematic interpretive rule applying at the syntax—semantics interface, which is triggered when its templatically defined input requirements are met.

text: What significance should be applied to the apparent reversal of active human and passive animal? In this representation and performance, “the animal” cannot be so easily filled in by the “dead,” “fake” figure, despite that figure's quadripedal stance: it is templatically “human.”
ref: 2012, Mel Y. Chen, Animacies: Biopolitics, Racial Mattering, and Queer Affect, →ISBN, page 146:

templatic
Language: English
Part of speech: adj
Etymology: From template + -ic.
Senses: examples: text: In templatic morphology regularity consists in the fact that derived words associated with a particular function show a consistent syllabic (sometimes also vocalic) pattern regardless of the phonological form of the source from which they are derived.
ref: 2003, Robert R. Ratcliffe, “Towards a Universal Theory of Shape-invariant (Templatic) Morphology: Classical Arabic Re-considered”, in Explorations in Seamless Morphology, →ISBN, page 260:
text: Stipulation of the order of segments in a morpheme is considered "normal" and, therefore, not templatic. Similarly, admitting the existence of a grammatical category like "affix" or "clitic" entails that elements belonging to such categories must have some specification for their linear realization with respect to a host - "before" or "after" are, intuitively, quite natural types of linear stipulation for such elements, and therefore, also not considered templatic.
ref: 2007, Matti Miestamo, Bernhard Wälchli, New Challenges in Typology, →ISBN:
text: Obviously, adding phonological material is a kind of phonological operation/transformation, whereas templatic morphology typically involves the application of different transformations in different contexts to ensure that the form conforms to a templatic shape.
ref: 2015, Matthew Baerman, The Oxford Handbook of Inflection, →ISBN, page 57:
topics: human-sciences
linguistics

glosses: Restricted to fit into a specific, limited pattern of possible structures or shapes, rather than resulting from the application of a simple generative rule.
