* What is the scope of {{T|sa}} in the sentence {{T|Kaqgaı tu po sa saq sıa kıq da.}}? | * What is the scope of {{T|sa}} in the sentence {{T|Kaqgaı tu po sa saq sıa kıq da.}}? | ||
** '''Official answer:''' The {{T|sa}} is part of an implicit subordinate clause and does not interact with the scopers on the top level. {{T|po sa saq}} is an opaque predicate meaning "___ relates to some group of three individuals". https://discord.com/channels/311223912044167168/334810940392341514/550783714867675148 | ** '''Official answer:''' The {{T|sa}} is part of an implicit subordinate clause and does not interact with the scopers on the top level. {{T|po sa saq}} is an opaque predicate meaning "___ relates to some group of three individuals". https://discord.com/channels/311223912044167168/334810940392341514/550783714867675148 | ||
* In the sentence {{T|She dûa jí mâı súq jí cy cy, jêo róu da.}}, does {{T|róu}} access the inner content clause or the outer one? | |||
** '''Official answer:''' "Outer." | |||
* Can {{T|áq}} and {{T|chéq}} be used before the x1 slot, e.g. are sentences like {{T|Kuq còu áq nháo}} valid? | |||
** '''Official answer:''' "I think so. We probably want subjectless sentences to be able to be reflexive/reciprocal as well: Kuq còu áq 'there is talking to oneself'." | |||
* Does a genitival serial construction narrow down the x₂ of the head verb or fill it, removing it in the process? That is to say, does {{t|chuq rỏehuı}} expand to ‘{{x}} eats junk food {{x}}’ or just ‘{{x}} eats junk food’? [[user:uakci|uakci]] 21:50, 13 May 2022 (UTC) | |||
** '''Official answer:''' "The latter." | |||
* Do the reflexive anaphoric words {{t|áq}}, {{t|chéq}} refer to the subject of the current (sub)clause or do they always go back to the matrix clause? This is quite an important underspecification given that {{t|áq}} ''must'' be used in place of other anaphoric predicates whenever possible. [[user:uakci|uakci]] 13:51, 17 May 2022 (UTC) | |||
** '''Official answer:''' "Current clause." | |||
* [https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2021/08/08/miscellanea1/ Miscellanea 1] seemed to imply that (c 1 c) and (1 c) frames are going away. Will {{t|noa, fuı, doa, nua, jea}} be redefined? | |||
** '''Official answer:''' 'The intended redefinition for noa at the time was "(c) is difficult to (2)", e.g. noa choa "(c) is difficult to pronounce". […] As for jea, doa, nua, I think the idea was to switch x2 and x3.' |
