Re: [lojban] Should we have another mailing list for abstruse discussions?

Well, as the old saying (I've been saying it for thirty some years) goes, "If you want to have a logical language, you have to put up with a little logic".  In the present case, since it concerns {zo'e}, the most common unwritten word in Lojban, and thus {lo}, the most common written word (possibly excluding {I} and { cu}), it would seem to be worthy of general attention.  The demands of the discussion are not great (yes, Montague's course was graduate level, but Partee's was just Senior level and we don't need the whole pile here).  So gird up and learn a little about possible worlds and mappings and intensionality.  Jboske would be a nice site, but,as noted, no one goes there and there is no handy connection to it from the general site.

I don't even know what the TITLE means. Oh, I know I could probably look it up and find out, sure. But, here's the thing- I don't care. I am not a linguist or logician. I have no interest whatsoever IN understanding. Figuring out how the language works isn't my job. That job belongs to the linguists and logicians. They figure out how a word works, then they tell us, in layman's terms, once they've figured it out. The whole zo'e thing going on is exactly that- something they are figuring out.

I've got enough stuff on my "to learn" plate being in college without putting the learning of an entirely new discipline on there too- especially one that I'm not interested in anyway. If I don't /need/ to learn it, and I don't /want/ to learn it, I'm not going to learn it. Simple as that. Get back to me when you figure out what zo'e means.

Great! Let's ask those that want to conduct such in-depth discussions to move there!
