History: Proposed interpretive conventions

Source of version: 5 (current)

Innumerably many syntactically well-formed structures in Lojban have no clearly-defined interpretation. This page lists unofficial proposals for useful or needful interpretive conventions for some of these cases. (Some of these proposed conventions might be natural and/or logical consequences of official interpretive conventions.) !!!Current proposals * anaphora ** ((construal of antecedents of sumti anaphors)) ** ((identifying no'a antecedents)) ** ((lerfu pro-sumti, and why ko'a sucks)) *** Not really a proposed interpretive convention, more a discussion of a convention already extant in the language (per ((The Book))) and why it should be used more. ** pertaining to vo'a *** ((Why the Book is Right and the ma'oste is Wrong)) * gadri and quantifiers ** ''((tu'o))'' ** ''((coi xirma, doi xirma))'' ** ((requantification)) ** ((quantification and the meaning of ro)) ** ((sumti qualifiers)) * concerning NU abstractions ** ''((ce'u))'' ** ''((ka, du'u, si'o, ce'u, zo'e))'' ** ''((pu'u))'' * ''kau'' ** ((makau)) ** ((indirect indicators)) * concerning numbers & mekso ** ((ju'u)) ** ((Internal grammar of numbers)) ** ((Number subgrammar)) * concerning tcita, tense & modals ** ((JAhA + CAI)) ** ((CAhA as sumtcita)) ** ((''nau'' as sumtcita)) ** ((scope of tenses and NA)) * ((Dates)) * ((methods of resolving mismatches between place structures and number of overt sumti)) ** ((SE + x2-less brivla)) * ((semantical equivalences)) * ((Interpretive conventions for lerfu formatting cmavo)) !!!Proposals that have ((dies in the arse|died in the arse)) * concerning NU abstractions ** ((''ka'' versus ''du'u'', and ''ce'u'' and ''zo'e'')) * ((asymmetric goi)) * ((On the meaning of 'ro broda cu brode' (arsedead version)-))
