Re: 4th core argument?



OK, you're right. And I did not say that deontic disjuncts or a prefix 
meaning "mis" would not work in Ladekwa. This was just the next step 
towards generalization (a fourth core argument). Back to step number 
one: would you still translate "the sign reads 'stop'" as you did 
before?

Bye,
