New Data: =09Definition: =09=09text affirmation/negation mode toggle =09Notes: =09=09Until the next utterance of this word, the interpretation of all = following (but not preceding) negations and affirmations are to be re-i= nterpreted bridi-by-bridi, starting with the current open (not-yet-term= inated) bridi (in which this word is uttered). If this word is followe= d by a number of/evaluated to a value 0 or 1 (preceded immediately by "= li"), this value is taken to be an explicit reset of the mode to the va= lue indicated (the value in question is called a seed value). Iff the s= eed value is 1, the mode is set thereinafter to multiplicative style; i= ff the seed value is 0, the mode is set thereinafter to additive style.= (That is: the seed values represent the identity elements under the op= eration which the mode emulates.). No other value, numerical or otherw= ise (including other sumti or even Boolean values, which actually mean = "truth" and "false", rather than "1" and "0" respectively, despite comm= on representations), may act as a seed value of this word. Thus, only = in the context of this word being followed by a "li"-introduced mekso e= xpression X which evaluates to the numbers 0 or 1 wherein X is not inte= nded to be taken as a seed value of this word must this word be followe= d by {ku} prior to X; in this case there is no explicit seed value. If = this word has no explicit seed value, then this word causes the mode of= interpretation of double-negatives to switch between multiplicative st= yle and additive style; an utterance of this word switches the mode to = whichever of these two options was not being used immediately previousl= y. Thus, it is its own terminator/negator. Lojban default (without co= ntext) is in multiplicative mode: "mi na na nelci" is nearly equivalent= to "mi nelci"; double-negatives cancel leaving a positive sense (even = if it is not entirely/definitively affirmative). So, one utterance of t= his word (under standard conventions) in a given discourse will change = double-negatives to become additive. This mode is similar to (some) Spa= nish negation or AAVE negation; multiple negatives compound/add togethe= r, intensifying the negativity (subjective truth-value) of an utterance= . In additive mode, "[zau'e'u] mi na na nelci" is equivalent to "mi ba= 'e na nelci" or something of the like; "[zau'e'u] mi na na na na nelci"= would be simply further emphasized (roughly twice as emphatic as the p= revious example's negation). This word is intended mostly for stylisti= c purposes and translations, as well as enabling further cultural neutr= ality. lai .krtisfranks. requests that this word (and all of its releva= nt information, including the selma'o label) be mapped to "{zau'eu}" if= the string "eu" ever becomes officially accepted in Lojban. =09Jargon: =09=09 =09Gloss Keywords: =09=09Word: negation mode toggle, In Sense:=20 =09=09Word: double-negative toggle, In Sense:=20 =09=09Word: additive negation indicator, In Sense:=20 =09=09Word: multiplicative negation indicator, In Sense:=20 =09=09Word: affirmation toggle, In Sense:=20 =09Place Keywords: You can go to to see it.
