Re: Languages with interesting phonotactics
Allowing /s/ + stop clusters to begin a syllable is actually one of Indo-European peculiarities , since these clusters also go against the sonority hierarchy. In that context Western Romance languages which put a vowel before these clusters are actually making things more normal! It's not that weir...

Re: Some questions regarding phonology and grammar
You know, I think that now, the Latin language is a dead language, and I see no reason to water time by learning it. For me, it would be better to invest your time in studying languages like Spanish, French, or English, in case you are not a native speaker. For example, I know Spanish, French, Russ...

Re: Random ideas: Morphosyntax
It seems plausible enough. There is some Amazonian language (I forget which, this was from a morphology practice set) that evolved tense marking from deixis marking: "That man sleep" became interpreted as "That man (in the past) slept), vs. "This man sleep" which became interpreted as "This man (in...

Over the last three months I've been working on writing a short Schleicher-y story in the Unnamed Hlaitype A Priori. Starting from an adaptation/version of Tsuru no Ongaeshi (The Crane's Return of a Favor), a traditional Japanese story, that I had made, I've gotten a paragraph through, and I think t...

Re: Yay or Nay?
Ok, so I was going to discourse, but after sleeping on it (I probably should have done that first :P) come to a "solution" that I like, which is that deictic markers are postverbal and mandated, but actually distinguish temporal remoteness over spatial remoteness (cf the relative impermissability of...

Re: Yay or Nay?
So I’ve been working a bit on the Hlaitype A Priori, and I started working on a longer translational text. I’ve been thinking about existentials too. Right now I’m thinking that existentials are formed from a combination of a deictic pronoun and a verb (probably the copula), similar to the comparabl...
