This is related to my point on the "xu dai" thread. "Question" can mean things of different modes. It can mean a logical subject, or a linguistic construct, or a mental operation, or a physical activity. It can mean a process of seeking an answer, yes, but then "asking" would be redundant; "asking the question" would then mean "asking a particular (process of) answer-seeking from someone". An answer to a question-as-a-process would differ from an answer to a question-as-a-logical-subject. I'm not sure what the former could be. A *solution* to a question-as-a-process would more make sense, though: ex. koha is having a problem formulating a question, and kohe suggests a solution for that situation. --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
