12<p align="left">NOTE&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to <a href="dataCategorySpecification.html">data category specifications</a>, it is possible to document all manner of information about all languages in the <em>working language</em>. This means, for instance, that one can talk about Chinese language features when writing in English or Japanese as a working language. However, there will be features that do not apply when describing English or Japanese as  <a href="objectLanguage.html">object languages</a>. The classic example of this difference is that one can talk about the neuter gender, which occurs in Germanic and Slavic languages, for instance, when writing in French, but the gender designation<em> /neuter/</em> does not apply for French as an object language. </p>
