Re: Resources Thread
Um, French verbal clitics are already morphemes, and always have been…! Really? I thought they were still clitics. So what are some papers that discuss this aspect of French morphology? Clitics are morphemes… I’m wondering if you perhaps mean ‘affixes’? In response to which I submit that ‘clitic’ a...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
Are there any natlangs that, like my new conlang fad'ami , have a complete lack of adpositions, expressing equivalent ideas with applicatives, relational nouns, genitive case, and relative clauses? Common motifs in fad'ami include using an applicative on a verb with a relational noun belonging to a ...

Re: Innovative Usage Thread
I think in AusEng present "got" is fairly rare and when it occurs it behaves exactly the same as "have got". What happens with the sequence of tenses, as in standard 'I said I'd got time to spare'? Does that get replaced by 'I said I had time to spare'? Yeah, the former sounds a...

Re: Innovative Usage Thread
IMD "got" and "gotten" have slightly different meanings: "got" merely implies possesion, "gotten" emphasizes acquisition. E.g. "I've got the money" = I have it, it's available "I've gotten the money" = I've acquired it, recently enough tha...

Re: Innovative Usage Thread
In my idiolect for certain verbs I have a strong tendency to use the preterite plus - en to form new past participles which contrast with the StdE ones in subtle ways (e.g. "I've eaten my sandwich" is distinct from "I've aten my sandwich"; the latter intuitively feels more like a...

I have gotten FAT32 support (mostly) working in zeptoscript -- and I only say "mostly" because I have not tested files larger than one cluster yet. It took far less to get to this point in zeptoscript than I did in zeptoforth. Of course, that is largely because this was largely a translati...
