Eatoaq is a semi-hypothetical version of Toaq by User:Loekıa that builds on Toaq Delta and the ideas of the Clause Reform proposal.
Quoting the blog post it was defined in, it has the following features:
- Sentences and fragments segment themselves
- Any small word can withstand lack of stress
- Nullary verbs and trailing adjuncts still exist
- Conjunctions work by general principles, with sensible, emergent defaults
- Discursives and adverbs of quantification become recognized parts of speech
- Generics and variables have clearly defined roles
- Donkey sentences can be expressed without paraphrase
- Mechanical parsers can understand entire discourses
- Rigid, linear scope is balanced by appropriately flexible word order
- And critically, every part of the grammar is most naturally defined in linguistic terms without any mention of parsing strategies.
Eatoaq has only three tones: broadly speaking, and
are merged. If you see someone say nâ or bî, or object incorporation using the falling tone e.g. baq, they are probably speaking Eatoaq.
