Notation: let the symbols between [ and ] be replacement for that portion of a quoted text.

To help with definitions, their meanings and intents, there is the learning resource theory of definition. Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept. The proof-of-concept structure consists of background,procedures,findings, andinterpretation.[6] The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.

The relationship between the concept of 'gender' and the concepts 'masculine', 'feminine', 'neuter'; or between the concept 'case' and the concepts 'nominative', 'accusative', 'genitive', etc., has been referred to with the following pairs of terms (based on Castairs-McCarthy 1999:266-267, expanded): Following Zwicky (1985), we use terms 'feature' and 'value'.
