Re: [lojban-beginners] Inflections and slang words

How do inflections of the voice affect the meaning of a lojban sentence? And how would you express slang words? --
Strictly speaking, intonation must not carry any meaning by itself or you lose the 100% mapping between speech and writing. In informal contexts, however, I'm sure many people would ignore this and intonate as much as they want to add nuances.

Slang words are much less common in Lojban. You would have to give some examples of what sort of slang words you are talking about.
