What the heck is Bresenish and what is it doing on a tp site?
There have been a boatload of toki pona derivatives and toki pona inspired small languages. I decided to write one myself to try to deliver on some of the promises of the original description of toki pona-- in particular, a language that has features of interest to people with mood disorders, like depression. When the LA Times article came out, it said jan Sonja created tp during a bout of depression, hence my idea of a therapeutic conlang.
Here is my first stab at syntax: http://www.suburbandestiny.com/conlang/?p=567 And here is the draft lexicon http://www.suburbandestiny.com/conlang/?p=128 And I'm working on morphology |

Friend,
I looked at your Blog. I think that I'm reasonably intelligent, but Tar Nation! I have no idea what all that talk about "Dative", "Nominative", "Accusative", "Genitive", "Vocative", etc mean. I do know a bit about Set Theory—not much, but some. "Is/~Is Not a member of the set of…" Is a big part of the second half of Symbolic Logic. I have Several Books on Symbolic Logic, but I never persevered long enough to get past the first half. Hmmmm… toki pona kinda reminds me of Polish Notation now that I think about it… Ever study Symbolic Logic using Polish Notation? I like it better than the Principia Notation. They used Principia Notation at Purdue—and I failed that one… Anyway, can you give a little bit of an idea what type Language you hope to make Bresenish? Sakon Wiolen "Cowards Theorize with the Goal of Staying Alive Firmly in Mind." From "The Hagakure" "That Has to be a Flying Saucer. I Don't Believe in Aeroplanes." Just Me |
