420-490 Specific languages useful for instruction.
Exercise 10: Number building: Adding Table 4 to 400 language
Select appropriate numbers for the following topics:
1. A dictionary of English synonyms
420 English & Old English languages
423 Dictionaries of standard English
T4--3 Dictionaries of the standard form of the language
"Including ... synonym dictionaries"
420.1-428 Subdivisions of English language
"Except for modifications shown under specific entries, add to base number 42 notation T4--01-T4--8 from Table 4 , e.g., grammar of English language 425"
423 is therefore the number required for this.
2. An English-German dictionary (with entry words in English only)
(browsed for "bilingual dictionaries" in the relative index)
T4--3 Dictionaries of the standard from of the language
"A bilingual dictionary with entry words in only one language is classed with that language, e.g., an English-French dictionary 423"
423 Dictionaries of Standard English
3. An English-German German-English bilingual dictionary (for libraries in Englishspeaking
regions)
T4--3 Dictionaries of the standard from of the language
"A bilingual dictionary with entry words in both languages is classed with the language in which it will be the more useful"
433 Dictionaries of standard German (43 - German, -3 from table 4 for dictionaries)
4. An Italian-German German-Italian bilingual dictionary (classification with either
language is equally useful)
T4--3 Dictionaries of the standard from of the language
"If classification with either language is equally useful, give priority to the language coming later in the sequence 420-490 , e.g., French-German, German-French dictionaries 443"
450 Italian
430 German
453 Dictionaries of standard Italian
5. Grammaire française (a work describing morphology and syntax)
445 Grammar of standard French
Base of 44 for French
-5 Grammar of the standard form of the language Syntax of the standard form of the language (Table 4)
445
6. A Russian grammar (a traditional language textbook).
491.7
East Slavic languages Russian
491.78
Standard Russian usage (Prescriptive linguistics) Applied linguistics
"Add to base number 491.78 the numbers following T4--8 in notation T4--8001-T4--86 from Table 4"
T4--82 Structural approach to expression (Okay, so I cheated a little bit... there is no way I knew to click on this one!)
"Formal (traditional) presentation of grammar..."
491.782

Chapter 12 of Workbook - Table 3
I am now learning about Table 3 which has a focus on the 800 section (Literature). There is lots of helpful information on the use of modified notation 09 in the section ‘Literary criticism’ of the Manual note 800.
A point to remember: "because you are using the abridged edition, you must make a special effort to remember that all works of or about literature of specific periods and of or about specific genres of poetry, drama, fiction, etc., do not have specific numbers. They have what is called standing
room in broad numbers."
The basic difference between items that are classfied in the 800s and items that aren't, is that those that are are designed to entertain (are "written to delight" (David & New, 1997)).
Useful chunk of the text for this process:
"Then, assuming your work is really literature (and your library does not use an option),
you must take the following steps:
1. Determine the literature or family of literatures represented by the work, then find
the matching schedule number, e.g., 840 for Romance languages or French (with
84 serving as base number for French). Either your number is complete, or you are
instructed to go to Table 3 to complete it.
2. Determine if the work is limited to a single literary form, and select the matching
Table 3 notation, e.g., notation 1 for poetry to build 841 for French poetry. If your
work is by or about a single author, your number is now complete. If your work
represents literature in general, however, you must first take what is shown here as
step 3 before you get to literary form.
3. This step is used only for works by or about more than one author. Determine if
modified standard subdivisions notation 08 (for collected texts) and 09 (for history
and criticism) can be added, e.g., 840.8 for collections of French literature, or
841.009 for history and criticism of French poetry.
4. Determine if any of the unmodified standard subdivisions are applicable, e.g.,
notation 03 for an encyclopedia of French literature 840.3."
Exercise 9: Number Building: Adding Table 3 to 800 Literature
Select appropriate numbers for the following topics:
1. Dutch 20th-century poetry
839.31 Dutch literature
839[.3108-839.3109] History and description with respect to kinds of persons; historical, geographic, persons treatment - "Do not use; class in 839.31"
-1 Poetry (Table 3)
T3--1001-T3--1009 Standard subdivisions; collections; history, description, critical appraisal
"Add to T3--100 as instructed under T3--1-T3--8 , e.g., collections of poetry T3--1008 ; however, do not add for poetry of specific genres or periods, e.g., collections of epic poetry, of lyric poetry, of 20th century poetry T3--1 (not T3--1008 )"
839.311 Nope, apparently I can't add any further subdivision to the original number because "Dutch literature" does not have an "add note"... :-S so:
839.31
2. A collection of 20th-century poetry from several literatures and by more than one
author
800 Literature, rehetoric & criticism
-1 Poetry (Table 3)
-08 Collections of literary texts in more than one form (Table 3)
808.8 Collections of literary texts from more than two literatures
"Class collections of works limited to a specific literary form and ... limited to a specific period ... in 808.81-808.88 , without adding further from the table under 808.81-808.87 .
808.81 I somehow got it, but did it the wrong way. I should have understood this next bit when I read it....:
808.81-808.87 Collections in specific forms (under 808.8 Collections of literary texts from more than two literatures)
"Add to base number 808.8 the numbers following 808 in 808.1-808.7"
808.1 Rhetoric of poetry
So, applying the instructions above we take 808.8 and add the 1 from Rhetoric of poetry to create a number which represents collections of literary texts from more than two literatures, that are poetry.
3. Critical appraisal of drama
809 History, description, critical appraisal of more than two literatures
809.1-809.7 Literature in specific forms
"Add to base number 809 the numbers following 808 in 808.1-808.7..."
808.2 Rhetoric of drama
809.2 (Yay, I got it right! I did it the long way, but still! (Apparently it was in the index if I'd looked it up right?))
Dinner time... I never seem to be able to get much done before I have to stop again! Will finish these, and all the exercises, after tea...
4. Cambodian poetry
895.9 Literatures of miscellaneous languages of Southeast Asia; Munda literatures ("Including literatures in Austroasiatic languages, e.g., Khmer (Cambodian)")
-1 Poetry (Table 3)
895.91 Apparently this is wrong, as the original number is not allowed to be subdivided because "Cambodian literature does not have its own number" (Davis & New, 1997, p. 76).
895.9
So thing I learned from this one: If something does not have its own number, but is sharing it with other countries, then it cannot be subdivided... I wonder if this applies to things in other areas of the schedule. How do I know when I cannot/should not subdivide further?
5. A collection of English poetry by various authors
820.1-828 Subdivisions of English literature
" Add to base number 82 as instructed at beginning of Table 3 , e.g., a collection of English poetry 821.008"
-1 Poetry (Table 3)
T3--1001-T3--1009 Standard subdivisions; collections; history, description, critical appraisal
"Add to T3--100 as instructed under T3--1-T3--8 , e.g., collections of poetry T3--1008"
I was unable to find any instruction under T3--1-T3--8 about adding to T3--100, in fact I couldn't find 100 mentioned anywhere, but am able to work out the following from the things I have mentioned here:
821.008
(And I guess I found it and understand having followed the instructions... I was very close and obviously understood what was needed which is promising, but it is frustrating that I can go in circles for so long and still not be sure! I am worried about how I'm going to feel about the assignment...)
6. A collection of poetry of the Elizabethan period
821 English Poetry
T3--1001-T3--1009 Standard subdivisions; collections; history, description, critical appraisal
"Add to T3--100 as instructed under T3--1-T3--8 , e.g., collections of poetry T3--1008..."
-8 Collections of literary texts (from table at T3--1-T3--8)
821.008
Oh no! Failed to notice something yet again!
It says this in the notes at T3--0: 2. " In Table 3 find the subdivision for the literary form, e.g., poetry T3--1 . Add this to the base number, e.g., English poetry 821. If the work ... deals with or falls within a limited time period, the class number is complete."
821
7. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.
822.3 Shakespeare, William (But this is talking about the man himself, rather than Romeo and Juliet)
Base number 82
T3--2 Drama
See Manual at T3--2 vs. T3--1
"Use T3--2 for poetic plays intended for theatrical presentation, such as the plays of Shakespeare"
822 (Remembering: "If the work is by or about an individual author ... the class number is complete (from T3--0)).
Come to think of it... it does make more sense to file works by Shakespeare together under his own little number... he is a rare author in which you can do that, so in trying to be too clever I got the wrong answer - it is:
822.3 Shakespeare, William!
