[lojban-beginners] Re: Preliminary chapter 1 for Lojban learners



I've been busily working on improving the chapter, incorporating all the feedback so far. I tested the original chapter against someone, M, who had never seen constructed language, and is monolingual in English (with a smattering of Spanish).

M had interpreted {zo'e} as being the preposition "in". While not correct, it is also logical given the input. I realized that errors of interpretation can and will occur during language acquisition, and this is just a natural part of the process, and hopefully future input would correct the problem. The last thing I want to do is overwhelm the reader by presenting the CLL in footnotes :)

M did interpret everything else correctly :)

la rab,rt.
