From cowan Mon Jan 29 11:57:00 1996 Subject: Lujvo place structure paper released! From: John Cowan To: lojban@cuvmb.cc.columbia.edu (Lojban List) Date: Mon, 29 Jan 1996 11:57:00 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Status: OR X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 Content-Length: 1126 Message-ID: My new version of the lujvo place structure paper, a heavily rewritten version of Nick's paper on the same subject, is now available. Since non-U.S. users have a lot of trouble with FTPs, I will be mailing it in two pieces just following this message, but it is also available for download at ftp://ftp.access.digex.net/pub/access/lojbab/jvoplace.txt. Please read and return comments, whether or not you have read Nick's paper: almost everything except some wording and some specific examples has been changed, from order to formatting to theoretical emphasis. I especially urge people who are new to the language to read the paper, as long as you have some basic understanding of Lojban terminology (selbri, sumti, tanru, lujvo, place structure, etc.) All comments are helpful; even those that seem like naive questions can sometimes be very deep and require rethinking of explanatory structures. (It was a series of such "naive" questions by a beginning student that led to the complete redesign of Lojban negation some years ago.) -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
