Re: [lojban] gadri and scope



Are you sure (iii) is even what you wanted? {di} seems to have come in from nowhere, among other problems.

Anyway, I don't actually know, but I also don't actually see how (i) and (ii) are semantically different, because I don't know how multiple {zo'u} work semantically.

{ro da zo'u da brode lo broda be da bei de}

should be equivalent (under xorlo) to one of

(i) {ro da su'o de zo'u da brode zo'e noi broda da de}
(ii) {ro da zo'u da brode zo'e noi su'o de zo'u broda da de}
(iii) {ro da zo'u da brode zo'e noi su'o de su'o di broda de di}.

Which?

I think (ii) is the best choice, on the bases of naturality and
usefulness.

(i) is what you'd get if you took exportation to the prenex as a golden
rule, and (iii) is what you'd get if you considered it all-important
that {lo} give a constant.

(ii) makes its own sense - it's what you get if you consider tanru
units, linkargs included, to correspond directly to relative clauses.
