||
I'd like to work on a "words-first" approach to Toki Pona grammar. |
|||
===Particles=== |
|||
The particles should each be fully specified. |

||
===Clarity of Writing=== |
|||
The encyclopedia should be concise, accurate, and easy to understand. |
|||
==Editing Principles== |
|||
===Assumptions=== |
|||
1. Toki Pona is a really existing language. |
|||
2. The "system" of a really existing language is defined based on the really existing speech and writing acts of that language's users. |
|||
3. sona pona seeks to document the language Toki Pona as it is used today and has developed up to this point. |
|||
Therefore, 4. The way people know that this {{tp|lipu pi sona pona li pona}} is by seeing that it explicitly bases itself on definite community usage. |
|||
===Examples=== |
===Examples=== |
||
I believe that it follows from the above that all examples should be sourced from outside the wiki: the encyclopedists should not invent their own examples for the articles. Since the examples are didactic aides to the presentation, they must be chosen judiciously; but if an example can not be found to suit, then I do not think it appropriate to invent one: that absence signifies to me that the subject of exposition is not in fact part of the language, but only part of the hypothetical system being presented. |
