question about emphasis or something like it
How would lojban differentiate between "I'm surprised that you said 'that'"
(emphasis on 'that' as opposed to saying 'this') vs "I'm surprised that you
said 'that'" (emphasis on 'said' as opposed to 'wrote' or 'thought')?
My first thought was {ba'e} but my understanding of {ba'e} is that it's just
there for emphasis and carries no additional semantic meaning (similar to
how {lo nanmu cu klama lo zarci} is semantically identical to {lo zarci cu
se klama lo nanmu}). And as I understand it the two sentences in English
mean entirely different things. They are not only different in their
emphasis.
I'm not sure how clearly this question is coming through. It could probably
have stood to percolate in my head a while more but I don't want to forget
it (again).
