Sounds right, at least for most cases. But "another" is a special adjective, as it includes a determiner, so "another-world map" won't really work either. "Another World map" seems to work with the (AW)M parsing only when "Another World" is the name of a place, similar to "United States map". For example: "There was an Another World map on the wall". > I > would say that adj-noun-noun combos will be intended and interpreted > either way depending on the context, intonation, etc. in casual > conversation and writing. For normal adjectives, yes. For "another", unless used as a name, what context could give the "(another noun) noun" reading? mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
