Re: Random ideas: Morphosyntax

How about crossing marked nominative alignment with split ergativity? Let's say the split is based on animacy. Animate subjects and inanimate objects of transitive verbs would be marked with the direct (?) case. Wece-sung tuba-sung diku. woman-DIR stone-DIR admire. The woman admires the stone. Both ...

Re: The Sixth Conversation Thread

I see from your descriptions that our tastes differ considerably (I also like science fiction/fantasy/superhero stuff but I really need some action scenes in order to be happy in addition to stuff that makes me ponder or something new. And I get weirded out by most crime shows and political drama.) ...

Re: Fredauon Fun Facts

I guess that depends on the height that the aeroplankton occurs in. When it's higher up, people will see it but not feel it. I was thinking of it being closer to the dust in the Sahara Air Layer *here*. If it comes down on an inhabited area, it might cause problems for people with asthma or allergie...

This includes several species of balloning animals, such as small flying spiders, mites and caterpillars, as well as roundworms, and spores of quillwort trees and ferns. During certain seasons this areal phenomenon is hig...

Re: The partner of the benefactive is...?

I don't think a benefactive case is the case used for the 'giver', that should be a pegative case, IINM. The case used for a recipient is the dative case.

Re: What happened on November 18th 2019 at 18:41 UTC?

My guess is that there were lots of bots on that day, maybe even spambots. Maybe it was the time when spambots discovered kitchen-sink (conlangs) and tried to sell us kitchens?

Neat, I wouldn't have guessed the Afro-Asiatic stuff but it certainly makes sense. Ah, all of them are also Chadic and most of them are Central Chadic aka Biu-Mandara. Might be a genetic effect as the two segments are also reconstructed for Proto-Central Chadic per this list: https://en.m.wiktionary...

Re: Kobardon - Lingua Franca used in Frédauon

The post on adjectives made me realize that large parts of this should not go in the nominal symtax part and should probably be added to the section on copular clauses.

Re: Case system questions

Yes, the general idea sounds naturalistic. Why shouldn't it be?
It would help if you could give details on your harmony (vowel harmony, I guess) and the other sound changes. I could try to guess from the examples, but it would be easier if you could explain it.

Re: (Conlangs) Q&A Thread - Quick questions go here

The standard example is 'Kannst du mir ein Stück Brot zu Fuß geben?' 'Can you give me a piece of bread 'by foot', meaning without a plate or anything. There is still some movement involved and I haven't really heard it in other contexts. I vaguely recall that in some North American language 'by foot...
