Re: What would you call this?

En réponse à Peter Bleackley :


>What would the terminology be for such an inflection?
I wouldn't know, but I have to say that great minds think alike! These last
past weeks I've been thinking of putting such a feature in Maggel. It works
a bit differently there, but it's similar. Basically, Maggel allows
fronting, and when the subject is fronted (Maggel is normally VSO, so even
SVO is fronting ;)) ), the verb takes a different form from when the object
is fronted (when fronted, nouns and pronouns are unmarked for
subject/objecthood).

When it's an oblique complement which is fronted, the story is different.
The noun is fronted, but the preposition that headed it stays where it was,
usually at the end of the sentence :)) .

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
