Hello, everyone!
I think I need to apologize to the list and clarify a couple of
things:
When I reread my posting about the negation research, I noticed that
this posting sounds as if I want you guys to do all the work before I
even read The F***ing Manual. This is *of course* not true. I read
TKD, and at the moment I am working my way through the transcripts of
Power Klingon and Conversational Klingon.
Now I am really interested in the practical side of Klingon negation.
Are some constructs prone to ambiguities, are there things that can't
be expressed? What is cool about Klingon negation and what sucks?
Thank you very much
Daniela
