Re: [katanda] Design Philsophy

kapitano,
it seems to me that the concepts you are talking about (relative importance of roles in a sentence, in particular) are very sophisticated indeed (it wasn't until i read ram's lexical semantics that i even heard of importance of various roles in a sentence).  i think it's only after a person has gotten used to the idea of separating out the various grammatical functions of different morphemes and structures on a fairly simple level that he can begin to see how this might be done on a higher level.
