ambiguities in the Klingon and other questions
I am writing a linguistic paper on Klignon .
Can anyone think of any ambiguities within the Klingon language,
such as semantic or syntactic phonetic ones (or anything else)?
Another question which I asked myself is:
What are the languages Mark Okrand was influenced by when creating
the Klingon language and in what way can I see that.
I know he has a PH.D. in the languages of the West Coast Indians but
I would like to have some more concrete material....
Why could we say that Klingon is the language of an alien race? Which
language universals does it not meet (except syntax)?
I hope anyone can help me.....
I would appreciate every kind of answer to these topics.
