Welcome to my Saweli group, rexxia! I work on Saweli almost every day, but don't often get new material posted. If you have any questions or comments, I'd be...
hi steven / stevo, you made me think and remember an old issue of saweli (since when it used to be katanda). my "stupid" question has always been: how should ...
hi stevo, again: another application of this construction would be "topicalization". let's topicalize "donald" in the sentence "donald is watching tv". this ...
In a message dated 5/13/2007 1:10:20 PM Central Daylight Time, ... I think it could be a regular A/P/F verb, where "he" is A, "me" is P, and "a friend" is F....
In a message dated 5/13/2007 1:29:04 PM Central Daylight Time, ... There is already a means for doing precisely this, I believe. The Saweli word is "zuxlip"...
I thought of an A/P/F verb, too. (I missed writing in this notation. :-) ) But I think it is not adequate, because there is no change implied in the action...
In a message dated 5/13/2007 6:56:48 PM Central Daylight Time, ... "Veheb" (to hear) is P/F, not A/F. As for the second meaning you give, I don't see how that...
Ah, yes, of course P/F. Thanks. The difference between the two sentences lies the "deicticity", (I don't know how to name this a better way). "He heard her...
In a message dated 5/14/2007 10:09:56 AM Central Daylight Time, ... Is this more than the distinction between "He heard her (who was) in the garden" and "He...

In a message dated 5/15/2007 5:49:38 AM Central Daylight Time, ... There are at least two ways to translate this, depending on the sense. 1) He saw her and...
Another English sentence is: "He heard her singing in the garden." This can mean both "He heard that she was singing in the garden." and "He heard her while...
I though English can work this way. :-) Let's try in Esperanto: "Li aŭdis ŝin en la ĝardeno." or "Li aŭdis ŝin enĝardene." can mean both "Li aŭdis ŝin...
In a message dated 5/15/2007 7:12:41 AM Central Daylight Time, ... I don't think "He heard that she was singing in the garden" is a good paraphrase of "He...
One ambiguity might be resolved, using "you" and "your": I heard you singing... I heard your singing... And yes, I didn't paraphrased correctly. I just wanted...

Correct. It could have been a dream or a hallucination. Or just a misinterpretation of what he saw. In either case, it is his point of view only. Many words...
Why do you distinguish between mental and sensory verbs? Hm. So apparently we have indeed different grammatical views here... But: How would you make the...
