The Map Thread (2014-09-09 02:45:49) :
One of these days I should crack open the copy of [i]Teach Yourself Lilitika[/i] that I got when I joined up here... :P
Also, a map of the mainland of the Safirian Empire

Maja Biology :
Hey look I wrote a [http://anthologi.ca/?id=220219|new article]. Maybe I'll get around to talking about modern Maja culture at some point - or, Burasik forbid, actually flesh out those eleven millennia of history some more.

I have finally written down some grammar on here. (2014-09-09 01:00:16) :
[quote kodé]Or is it completely productive, like you could say something like "I ate the apples to lose weight" -- 'weight' 'apples' 'I' 'lose' 'ate'?[/quote]
Yep.
[quote kodé]It's very unnatlangy to change the word order in questions across the board: usually there's sensitivity to a question word or wh-word. Think of what you'd do in sentences like "What did the dog eat?" with object wh-words. You could have SOV order in yes/no questions with an extra question particle, and put th...

RHETORICA COMMENT ON MY LANGUAGE PLZTHXBAI (2014-09-08 23:58:35) :
Yeahhhh... I guess it looks pretty odd without any examples or fleshing out. But part of that is intended, since it's to be a proto-lang that will end up make nicer, more normal daughterlangs (i guess this dates from around the equivalent of neolithic pre-metallurgy (on a different planet)? so "bronze-age syllabary" could be in the works in a derivation or two!)

Here's some actual feedback instead of douchebag tangenting, Matrix:
[ul][li]The two-verb thing looks like a cool serial verb construction. I'm guessing both of the verbs are in one clause since there's only one subject allowed. I'm curious what determines which verb is primary and which secondary: is there a closed class of verbs (want, go, sit, stay) that can be primary? Or is it completely productive, like you could say something like "I ate the apples to lose weight" -- 'weight' 'apples'...

[quote Hallow XIII]Mostly b/c in English length and stress are the same feature.[/quote]
Weeeeeeeeell... technically not, since stress has other phonetic correlates (intensity, pitch), and stressed vowels need not be long if they're in closed syllables. But, it is definitely true that almost all long vowels in English are stressed, and most stressed vowels in open syllables are long. [/douchebag]

It's okay. I did the same thing in Lilitika for every dialect except one. That one dialect is a pain in the butt. Word-final unstressed /ɛː/. I feel like an exasperated Midwesterner.
