New Data: =09Definition: =09=09rhetorical construct marker - genuine/serious/literal assertion/q= uestion/command marker =09Notes: =09=09Place after an interrogative word (such as {xu}, {ma}, {mo}, etc.= ) in order to indicate that a question (and, in particular, that constr= uct) is being presented rhetorically with no actual desire for an answe= r (except one that plays along with the purpose). Place after an impera= tive construct (such as {ko}) in order to rhetorically command the audi= ence- such as with the English sentence "Tell me about it", which actua= lly indicates emphatic and personal agreement rather than a command/req= uest for the details to be explicated or elaborated. Various grammatica= l structures can be marked as rhetorical flourishes this way; in this c= apacity, the word might (but need not) operate in a way similar to {pe'= a} (such as with, maybe, the phrase "for forty days and forty nights" m= eaning that some event had a long duration and the utterer wishes to re= ference/bring to mind the Biblical story of Noah's Flood in some way). = Of course, whole bridi can be marked by this word. In general, it eleva= tes the understanding of an utterance from literal to something with a = purpose or intent and which may not be entirely factual or genuine but,= rather, which is being used a tool in the design of a presentation. Th= is word's negative makes it clear that the utterance is to be understoo= d literally or as a genuine, face-value piece of text (although figurat= ive language may still be present- it is only literal in its presentati= on, so to speak). =09Jargon: =09=09 =09Gloss Keywords: =09=09Word: rhetorical marker, In Sense:=20 =09Place Keywords: You can go to to see it.
