Re: unambiguous syntax and grammar

I must say that in the nearly 10 years I've been here you're the first person interested in logical conlangs that I've seen coming here. This is actually more of an artistic conlang forum. I have no idea where the logical conlang people hang out though. Huh? Sindyr has a whole lot of posts in C&C Q...

Re: unambiguous syntax and grammar

Since the question is in the Conlagery & Conworlds I think it's clear I'm looking for conlangs. It isn't, I'm afraid. If people never talked about natlangs here, I'd never post in this section at all. OK, I'm new here. What's the relevant section? Languages & Linguistics? C&C Quickies? Could mods p...

Re: unambiguous syntax and grammar

Holy cow! Everything was first once. Actually CBB users pointed me to Gua\spi and Toaq, and I'm going to study these for a while. If there's more such conlangs, please let me know.

I don't think so, because it's not about semantics. It's about uniquely parsing 1-dimensional array also known as the text into the abstract syntax tree. One can still play with the polysemy.

Re: unambiguous syntax and grammar

Obligatory XY problem avoidance: why do you want to find them? Do you have a goal in mind? In responce to lojbans complexity I have created several conlangs with the subject and now I research how others did it and in what way differently. Maybe my approach has flaws I'd find worth fixing before I ...

Re: unambiguous syntax and grammar

English is obviously ambiguous. In the phrase `Red roses and apples' - are apples red? That's not an example of ambiguity for subject-marking though. :P You want the classic " Fruit flies like a banana " instead (bananas and fruits in general are able to fly, why do you ask?). But if you do mean sy...

unambiguous syntax and grammar

Hello! What languages do you know which declare the subject as one of its goals or which has it as a property? What languages have BNF, or EBNF, or their analogues? It is generally called `logical language', but I don't like the term, because it's quite broad. The advertisment of your own languages ...
