I, on the other hand, am puzzled by exactly what your second half means. Is it, for example, that {sei gleki ko'a broda} means something like {ko'a broda ije mi gleki la'e di'u}? In that -- and any variant that fits what I would take "describe" to mean (something propositional at a min) -- then it always turns out to affect truth values and so is not much like a UI at all. On the other hand, it it does not affect truth values, how is it different from expressing that emotion or whatever. I think we need a short course on the logic of {sei} outside the homeground of inserted attributins in quotes. |
