I don't think noi-clauses are fully independent of the main > clause, since they need it to at least get the referent of "ke'a".

I guess that's not quite true either: "Cardiff, which is the capital of Wales, is also its largest city." The main clause feeds on the relative clause to make sense of "also" and to get the referent of "its", so it's not quite independent. The important point is what you said: each clause gets its own independent illocutionary operator. In Lojban we can even have an imperative in the relative clause, which English can't quite do I suppose because both the relative pronoun and the verb want first position: ta noi ko dunda ke'a mi cu cukta *That, pass which to me, is a book. *That, which pass to me, is a book. ?That --which would you please pass to me?-- is a book. mu'o mi'e xorxes --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
