History: BPFK working page: Opinions regarding attitudinals

Source of version: 2 (current)

As an aid to sort out our differences regarding ((BPFK Section: Irrealis attitudinals)), and possibly to guide further work on the Attitudinals checkpoint, the relevant issues are recorded here. Feel free to edit, but to keep the page manageable, we prefer that you only edit the paragraphs related to ''your own'' opinions. Thank you. !Veto issues !!Backwards-compatibility The connection between {ai nai} and the keyword "refusal" is too entrenched in usage to depart from. * Arnt Richard !!No redundancy between scalar negation of attitudinal and bridi negation {ai nai} cannot impart the same meaning on a sentence as that of {ai} on the negation of that sentence, ie. {ai nai broda} != {ai na broda} *Robin *Ted !Non-veto issues !!Abolition of irrealis There should be no irrealis attitudinals. *Ted !!((Gismu deep structure)) in attitudinals Nothing should be expressible as attitudinals that are not also expressible as bridis. *Ted !!Systematicity The opposites of the attitudinals are part of a system, from which the current definition of {ai nai}, {e'o nai} and {e'o cu'i} deviates. *Jorge !!Completeness It is inconvenient that there is no attitudinal for "accidental". *Jorge
