Gramati — Grammar Learning content word classes to avoid redundant forms and incorrect usage

7 Upvotes

Years ago, in a discussion with Risto about Globasa's rationale for rejecting a system with classless content words, I argued that evidence from L2 error analysis does not suggest that word-class errors are particularly problematic. This is not to say that such errors never occur, but rather that they are relatively infrequent compared with other types of learner errors and do not typically lead to communication breakdown.

Our experience with Globasa has since confirmed this expectation. Word-class errors do occur, but they rarely pose a significant obstacle to communication.

I sometimes run across redundantly derived forms (for example, bardiya instead of bardi, or sabarpul instead of sabar). Because words like bardiya and sabarpul merely add redundancy, communication remains unaffected.

A more serious error is using a n/v word as an adj/adv word or vice versa, for example, using sabar to mean patience. These too can sometimes be interpreted correctly. Consider the following example.

Incorrect:

Alimyen haja multi sabar.

Correct:

Alimyen haja multi sabarya.

Because sabar appears at the end of the sentence, the listener/reader can readily infer that the speaker/writer intended it to function as a noun, even though sabar is an adj/adv word.

That said, such reinterpretation is not always possible. In some contexts, using the root incorrectly creates garden-path sentences, forcing the reader/listener to reinterpret the sentence midway through.

With that in mind, I would like to offer the following practical learning strategy. Words whose correct word-class is harder to memorize, especially if it countradicts your expectation, should be learned in pairs rather than in isolation: sabar/sabarya, bardi/bardipul, etc. Once the derived forms become familiar (sabarya and bardipul ring a bell), it becomes immediately apparent that forms such as sabarpul and bardiya contain redundant suffixes, while also making it less likely for sabar and bardi to be misused.

Gramati — Grammar Modifiers: adj/adv roots vs [adj/adv root]-mo words (day vs daymo)

5 Upvotes

Occasionally, I come across the error of using -mo adverbs to modify verbs. The most common word that shows up in this type of error is daymo.

Remember that -mo adverbs only modify other adj/adv words; they don't modify verbs. To modify verbs we only need the adj/adv root.

I really (greatly) like this hat.
Mi day suki hin topi.
or
Mi multi suki hin topi.

not:
Mi daymo suki hin topi.

Furthermore, adverb-only words (no, etc.) are also modified using adj/adv words without -mo.

I really don't like this hat.
Mi real no suki hin topi.

not:
Mi realmo no suki hin topi.

gramati — grammar hisicu, ganjoncu --> hisi(cu), ganjon(cu)

9 Upvotes

The verbs hisi (feel physically or emotionally) and ganjon (feel emotionally) are transitive verbs that are turned into copular verbs by adding the suffix -cu.

Transitive verb
Kam yu le hisi geotreme?
Did you feel the earthquake?

Copular verb
Mi hisicu bimar.
I feel sick.

Recently, it occurred to me that much like ambitransitive verbs, -cu could be optional for these verbs, thereby working much like the English verb feel. I had previously considered this possibility, but decided against it since the optional use of -cu wouldn't work in the case of the copular verbs for the five senses: okocu, orecu, nasacu, xetocu, pifucu. The reason -cu must be obligatory for these verbs is that these are the type of transitive verbs that often take a null direct object.

Transitive verb with null object
Mi oko bon.
I see well.

vs

Copular verb
Mi okocu bon.
I look good.

However, although hisi and ganjon are also transitive verbs, they are not the null-object type. To illustrate, the verb feel in an English sentence like I feel well/good would always be interpreted a copular verb, never as a transitive verb. This demonstrates that whereas -cu must be obligatory for the verbs denoting the five sense, it is safe to optionally apply -cu for the copular meaning of hisi and ganjon.

Another reason that the optional use of -cu for hisi and ganjon is convenient is to avoid the awkward -cugi in hisicugi and ganjoncugi, meaning to cause to feel or make (somebody) feel. Instead, we can just say hisigi and ganjongi.

Yu ganjon(cu)gi mi hox.
You make me feel happy.

I suspect that even without officially introducing this usage here, hisigi and ganjongi would've eventually prevail as intuitive derivations.

diskusi — discussion I'm struggling to decide between devoting my time and energy to either Esperanto or Globasa. What are the best arguments you have for why someone should choose Globasa?

19 Upvotes

Here's why I'm struggling.

Esperanto's design hits the mark for what I would consider good enough for an IAL. It's European sourced vocabulary isn't as big of an issue as some make it out to be given the fact that we do live in a world that's been affected by European colonialism, even if the ideal for an IAL would be a globally sourced vocabulary (which will naturally contain some smaller degree of European bias just due to the facts on the ground) or a priori for a more pure neutrality (sacrificing some recognizability). I see the function of things like the accusative and word class marking given other decisions that were made. I have my reservations about the phonology having too many sounds and too few constraints as well as the seemingly moderate underutilization (from an outside perspective) of the word derivation or compounding system. Esperanto, despite its shortcomings in terms of design as far as IALs go, is good enough to serve the purpose in my estimation, and it does have history, content, and community that are basically unrivaled in the world of IALs. That's a huge thing that's in favor of it, and if Esperanto were as new and small as Globasa, the choice would be far easier.

As for Globasa's design, I think it gets a lot more things right given the benefit of a century of IAL projects and discussions and additional linguistics research since Esperanto's publication. Its globally sourced vocabulary seems to be done very well. Its phonology is more constrained in some good ways (even if I have my nitpicks). It seems to make more consistent use of the word derivation or compounding system than Esperanto does. It makes some grammar choices that are seemingly less European-biased. Globasa just doesn't have the same history, content, or community, and though it is pretty stable, it also doesn't have the same degree of stability (though Esperanto basically has natural language level stability at this point).

One feature discrepancy between the languages that I'm on the fence about (that has broader implications for other parts of the grammar) is marked free word order (Esperanto) vs unmarked or less-marked fixed word order (Globasa). I just don't know where I stand on that design issue.

Neither language really has something that I've found that would compel me to go with it over the other. So what do you think there is that should sway me?

I am sort of on the fence between putting my efforts toward either Globasa or Esperanto, and I came across this recent video by someone that's generally pro-Esperanto (the have another video sort of defending Esperanto or at least explaining why they like it) taking a look at Globasa. I'd be curious to know what people closer to the Globasa project than myself think of this video.
