For example, is 2a significantly different from (2a') lo cipni cu blabi gi'enai vofli or is (2c) from (2c') su'o da poi cipni zo'u ge da blabi ginai da vofli? And similarly for << (3a) lo cipni cu na vofli gi'e blabi expands to: (3b) su'o da poi cipni zo'u ge da na vofli gi da blabi and not to: (3c) naku su'o da poi cipni zo'u ge da vofli gi da blabi >> as opposed to (3a') lo cipni cu vofli nagi'e blabi << I'm assuming {(na vofli) gi'e (blabi)} and not {na (vofli gi'e blabi}. I believe this is how the parser would group it, though that is no guarantee of anything. >> It is what the parser does, but, asyou say, that does not mean nearly as much as it should. In particular, the question is what is the selbri here? How do your intuitions work on (4a) le cipni cu na vofli je blabi and (4b) le cipni cu blabi jenai vofli? |
