Re: [lojban] Re: The Mad Proposals



The more interesting question about {.ai} et al is their function?  Are they, as some maintain, actually  speech act indicators ore are they something else -- and, if so, what?

In this case it would be different as they would probably interfere with the formal grammar. The language must remain unambigously parseable  or every will be lost!

The best would be if the changes would be compatible so that whatever was grammatically correct before introducing GIJA will stay correct.

if GIhA is retained for backward compatibility then nothing previously written is broken. But only for GIJA/GIhA. Other proposals break some things.

btw, cmavo definitions have been initially broken in jbovlaste. A complaint that i got just today is that

{.ai} means "intent" but defined in jvs as the full scale "attitudinal: intent - indecision - rejection/refusal." which has to be in comments, not in the definition.
