Here are some future research topics in linguistics relevant to Ubiquity, in particular for the localization of Ubiquity. Please comment here on the wiki, email me or find me on IRC.
See also Blair's list of localization issues to consider
- what is the goal?
- how are arguments marked in different languages?
- argument structure alternations (e.g. ditransitive alternation in English)
- languages with case-marking
- what do imperatives look like in so-called "information-structure-heavy" or "topic-comment" languges?
- do the same oblique arguments (prepositional phrases) map cleanly into prepositions in other languages? Short answer: no.
- how do you parse for verb-final languages?
- learnability/usability/discoverability
- how do you learn new commands?
- what does learning/teaching natural languages teach us about how users can learn Ubiq?
