It has been over six months, so I thought we might have picked up a few new people. I am interested in coming up with a diagramming technique for Lojban comparable to the one that was drilled into me as a child (for English). This apparently was the "Reed-Kellogg" technique. This is NOT because I'm knowledgeable in Lojban. It's because I'm NOT. I have found sentence diagramming to be a powerful analytical tool and learning technique. Of course, as I learn more, my conception of how it ought to be done shifts and changes. At any rate, I am wondering if anyone is interested in assisting with this project. Reply to me directly if you wish. My preliminary efforts are at: http://hypermetrics.com/lojban/lojdiag.html However, it's obvious that even at this primitive stage, it needs some reworking. {nu}, for example, should be shown as more prominent/important, as someone said. I'm currently playing with {bo} and {co}, internal sumti, and the logical connnectives. Thanks, Hal
