I may not say anything, and I can't even understand half of what's said on this list, but I find the idea of diagraming lojban to be great and I'd like to read about it on the list even if I can only understand a little. Heck, maybe I can help a little. Heavens know I really need the experience and learning.
I'm not opposed to discussing it here, I just didn't want anyone to be
bored or annoyed by it.
For what it's worth, here is a good link on diagramming English:
http://webster.commnet.edu/grammar/diagrams/diagrams.htm
The style shown there is, as far as I can see, identical to what I
was taught as a child.
This is the general "type" of diagram I had in mind, as you can see
from my earlier post.
As for opening new sumti with {va} or something, I suppose I would
favor the use of a double bar to indicate the end of the "standard"
sumti.
