Re: [lojban] the myth of monoparsing

Assertion: "From the sentence "Fred saw a plane flying over Munich", with those words in that order and no parentheses or punctuation, there is more than one parse tree".  Question: Do you agree or disagree with that assertion?

Personally I agree that this is one way to think how sentences are constructed.

If you want to compare it with Lojban it's a whole another story.
Languages share many things in common but parsers can interpret the same sentence in a different way even within one language.
