Re: [lojban] strategic ambiguity of language



  Of course, since the lojban base sentence contains more than 7 words, we have a lot more possibilities for fun:

 mi no ba'e roi cusku le sedu'u ko'a zerle'a lo jdini pe mi (Why would you think I had said "nore'u"? That's just silly!)
 mi noroi cusku le se ba'e du'u ko'a zerle'a lo jdini pe mi (This one's a bit harder to justify. Although a construct like "...le se si'o ko'a jdini...." is grammatically fine, se du'u is basically the only thing that transforms bridi -> text, which cusku2 requires.)
  mi noroi cusku le sedu'u ko'a zerle'a lo jdini ba'e pe mi (In fact, what I said was "po mi"..)

I agree that such "ambiguities" are important and I think it's a Lojban plus to be able to reflect the same ambiguity.

{mi noroi cusku le sedu'u ko'a zerle'a lo jdini pe mi}

WIth the added benefit of being able to convey the disambiguation grammatically (i.e. without resorting to typographical conventions like bold) using {ba'e}:

{ba'e mi noroi cusku le sedu'u ko'a zerle'a lo jdini pe mi}
{mi ba'e noroi cusku le sedu'u ko'a zerle'a lo jdini pe mi}

etc.
