Regular

规则的

 

A term referring to linguistic forms when they are in conformity with the general rules of a language, i.e. they are predictable. In English, for example, nouns such as boy, girl, dog are regular, in that they follow the rules governing the majority of nouns; nouns such as mouse and sheep are irregular, or ‘exceptions’.

 

指语言形式符合一种语言的一般规则,即是可预测的。例如英语boy“男孩”、girl“女孩”、dog“狗”这样的名词是规则的,因为他们遵循支配绝大多数名词的规则;而像mouse“老鼠”和sheep“羊”这种名词是“不规则的”或“例外的”。
