Subject: [lojban] Re: organization of Lojban material

Some of the toepics that are coming up as I
prepare my paper on semantic primes for the
Constructed Languages Conference, seem relevant
to questions about organizing material for
teaching/learning.

Semantic primes per se are not the first things
one learns as a child, nor are they the things
out of which one builds one's other notions; they
could be but the idea of a prime does not depend
on that.  Nor the defining devices using primes
necessarily foundational.  
I'd like to see definitions of Lojban words in Anna Wierzbicka's Natura= l Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) terms, as well as definitions of Lojban words= in the Lojban version of NSM.
