Sorry Carlos, I sent 2 posts before reading yours and I realize you endeavoured the same thing so I should have replied to you instead. May we have some respite to think of your proposal ? I understand you prefer mixing in the same tag the case and the part of speach. I mean for example agent noun is executed as 'noun+agent-tag_word' As you can read, I've thought of 'noun-tag_word_agent-tag' But that was no claim from me. We have very close ideas. Maybe due to the fact we're Latin speakers ? Like you do I quite like topic, agent/patient system. Don't you want antipatient as well to save verbs and cases like in Japanese ? mieru > miru > miseru > misaseru to appear > to see > to make it appear (= to show) > to make him see (to show something) What are the suggestions of Pablo, Herman & alia ?
