Talk:Ambitransitive verb

message: Ok for "the window breaks" (or "the piano plays"), although this example sounds to my French anticausative-unprone hear a rather English-Dutch-Swiss-German way-of-saying(-things).
What is your opinion about "j'te paye" meaning not "I pay [to] you" but "I pay your salary" or "I clean up my debt to you". The later sense is also be expressed with "j'te r(e)paye", but there is a long time I didn't hear it.
"I pay [to] you" is expressed by "j't'l'paye" -- or, in some regions "j't'i' paye" --, with an indefinite "l(e)" -- or "i(l)" following the regional preferance for the indefinite pronoun--. This indefinite is usually zero-marked and I don't see the reason of an explicit making, unless to admit the speaker need to distinguish between the intransitive and transitive form of "payer". 
It seems that making the verb intransitive changes the semantic, is a way of saying that the the object is soo obvious that it is not even worth mentioning. To say "j'te r'paye" is to admit you have debt, while saing "j'te paye" is to amounce you have money.
An answer would be apreciated, or as we say "je-vous-le-re-rendrai", specifying the use of the verb "rendre" with a A-E-(O)-(I forbid myself to state the O because YOU know it)- valency.

thread_title: French examples

message: This article was tagged in April 2009 as not having sources or footnotes. I took a copy of the book Changing Valency and added appropriate page numbers. I've rewritten a lot of what was already said about agentive and patientive ambitranstivies. I apologize to the original author of that content.
One thing that is mentioned in the book is the issue with the terms "anticausative" and "unergative". I've mentioned this in the text, and removed discussion about these terms. I would encourage another source that defends the use of these terms. 
The last section about Spanish examples of pseudo-reflexivity is not in Changing Valency (at least from what I've read so far). That section needs citations still.

Talk:Mineral redox buffer

message: Are there comments to aid in an attempt to clarify this article and to include other oxygen buffers? Some thoughts about changes follow.
The Mineralogical Society of America Reviews in Mineralogy volume 25 provides documentation in support of possible changes, and a diagram based on that source, Oxygen_Buffers.jpg, has been uploaded into "Geological Diagrams" in Wikipedia Commons in preparation for revisions. A complementary entry should be created on "oxygen fugacity" or some such title to also utilize that diagram.
The  introduction should note that, although the buffers provide a framework for discussion of rocks, the oxygen buffer reactions themselves are rarely useful in fixing oxygen fugacity within rocks (see treatment of "Some Common Misconceptions" in Frost's introduction to the MSA volume mentioned above). The wustite-magnetite buffer would be better presented without the complications of carbon and CO, and such more complicated reactions could be better discussed in an entry on oxygen fugacity. It would be good to emphasize that Fe2/Fe3 in rocks is dependent upon the mineralogy as well as on redox state -- an example is the stability of the pyroxene endmember NaFeSi2O6 (all iron ferric) in the presence of native iron.
The section "Redox effects on sulfur fugacity" could be revised, but regardless, it would be better in a separate entry devoted to oxidation of sulfides to sulfates. As discussed in the entry for pyrite, iron in pyrite is nominally ferrous, as is much but not all of the iron in pyrrhotite. One can write a reaction between pyrite, pyrrhotite, and sulfur to constrain sulfur fugacity, but it has little to do with redox reactions, as oxygen is involved only because of the small and variable ferric iron in pyrrhotite. Indeed, pyrrhotite is oxidized more easily than pyrite, perhaps for kinetic reasons related to vacancies in the structure, and both native sulfur and marcasite are common products of the oxidation, but not pyrite, according to Jambor (2003, in Mineral Association of Canada Short Course Series volume 31). A separate entry for sulfur fugacity and sulfide-sulfate reactions not only would be appropriate, but also it would be valuable because of environmental problems and ore deposits.

Talk:Short integer

message: That's worse than min/max range!  The range is always the same, it's just how we interpret that first bit.  You can have only positive numbers, or you can shift the range halfway and have positive OR negative numbers ... but the same number of them.  Wiki tables confuse the hell out of me, but if someone understands them, this article could be improved an aweful lot by turning this into something that makes sense.
: The range of integer values stored in 2 bytes is always the same (2^16), and you're right that what these values represent depends on how you choose to interpret them.  What this table is showing is how the specified programming language interprets them, i.e. what is the minimum and maximum values in that range.  "Min range" in this context means "the minimum value in the range", but I will replace this with 'minimum value' as I think that is clearer.  Signedness is (I think) correct.  I have linked to the appropriate article, which will hopefully help people unfamiliar with the term. --HappyDog 08:44, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
