Re: [lojban] A Discussion of the Lojban System of Place Structure



IIRC, Loglan (and then Lojban) used place structures instead of prepositions or case endings because cases and/or prepositions could not unambiguously accommodate all the meanings necessary.

I'm Daniel Evans, and I figured that I would share my thoughts on the lojban place structure. I've been thinking about it for a few weeks, so I finally sat down today for about four hours and typed up a really rough paper about it.

In a nutshell, I say it should be trashed. Thrown away. Why? Read the paper, and then tell me what you think :)

I'll preface it (I did say this in the paper as all) with this: I don't think it's an awful system. Nor am I gonna be angry if everybody hates it. Keep in mind that I just blazed through a ten page paper, and didn't take a whole lot of time to revise my thoughts. I just wanted to get my thoughts down and organize them for myself. Doing so was best achieved by writing a paper about it, and that ended up being too much work to keep it to myself. I'm interested by what others think. It would be unbelievably cool if my ideas could be implemented, but I don't necessarily expect it.

It is attached to this post. Enjoy!
