coi rodo Lately I was wondering how the system of 'place structure' came about in lojban. I suppose it comes from 'predicate logic', but can anyone explain that to me? (I can't explain it to others) And 'place structure': is it really more simple than using a cmavo for 'to', 'from', 'by', ...etc? There's a lot of cmavo anyway in lojban, why couldn't we use them, instead of place structure? Is memorizing 'place structures' not much harder? (or maybe it is not that hard? I haven't got a good overview in my mind of all the kinds of place structures there could be in gismu) Thank you for your insightful answers, I notice that I'm attracted to lojban because of my perceived 'simplicity' of the language, and I want to see how right my perception is. ki'e mi'e tam |
