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))

** ''((pu'u))''
* ''kau''
** ((makau))
** ((indirect indicators))
* concerning numbers & mekso
** ((ju'u))
** ((Internal grammar of numbers))
** ((Number subgrammar))
