This is as much for my own recollection as for the information of anyone else.
|
||
|
||
- I write with [prefix reform](https://toaq.me/Prefix_reform), but use official pronunciation.
|
||
|
||
- I don't like unnecessary ditransitivity; you'll see me use « [ôı](https://toadua.uakci.space/##VGQjJagkP) » a lot.
|
||
|
||
- I subscribe to the [focus-topic-cleft merger](https://toaq.me/Focus%E2%80%93cleft_merger), but don't use it much.
|
||
|
||
- I subscribe to the [double focus extension](https://toaq.me/Double_focus), and _do_ use _it_ much.
|
||
|
||
- I subscribe to the [simple focus reform](https://toaq.me/Simple_Focus).
|
||
|
||
- I consider VPs to be [Weird](https://toaq.me/Weird_VPs), with the pleasant consequence that « Lıecho noqgaı keo bu pua shıqgaı Jéımı báq cıenueq. » means what it looks like.
|
||
|
||
- I use (roughly) one syntax for modals and adjuncts, which is to say that I sometimes front adjuncts and sometimes interpose modals. For example: « **Kûı**, vá maı jı́ nháo, nä shao gaq jı́ nháo da. Jıa pua gaq nháo jí **dâı**, vä shao nháo, lá he maıgeq já jı́ da. » Shúq roadue ní da.
|
||
|
||
- I consider « bo- » to be a true-passivizer and so use « tı- » for "inverse voice".
|
||
|
||
- He kulèo choq jı́ mı́mo "strict polarity" teo, kéo bumuolìm jı́ mó bu- teo da.
|
||
|
||
- I trust vé moı [Kı́a](https://robin.town) hóa râq "degree words"; Kía finds that degree words need distinct grammar.
|
||
|
||
- I use « g » to terminate reduced complementizer phrases, especially for the purpose of combining OI with adjectives.
|
||
|
||
- I also use « ca- » to echo-resumptively terminate subclauses.
|
||
|
||
- I never underfill full complementizer phrases, but I consider unfilled slots in determiner phrases to be filled according to the head determiner. In particular, indefinite DPs are existentially quantified in unfilled slots, while definite determiners have « ráı » in unfilled slots. For example, « tú fu » = « tú fu sâ raı » and « hú aıse » = « hú aıse lô raı ». The only deviation from this is in « báq » phrases, where unfilled slots get « báq raı ».
|
||
|
||
- I frequently use overt adjunct heads, especially « [ı̂uq](https://toadua.uakci.space/##iGVz0emo4) », « [nûao](https://toadua.uakci.space/##cqtdPusTB) », « [ı̂aı](https://toadua.uakci.space/##ZxxlL0NdG) », « [ôq](https://toadua.uakci.space/##70rCWf6zQ#70rCWf6zQ) », and « [lû](https://toadua.uakci.space/##_odzwFLN5) ».
|
||
|
||
- I consider stacked phrases involving modal particles to expand so: « he noeq X » → « he juna, vá noeq X ».
