<EM>can, may, must, should</EM>, + etc.) as well as those verbs which modify a following verb such as t<EM>o want + to, to choose to, to need to, to offer to, to demand that</EM>, etc. However, + in Ithkuil, the effect of such modifications on a verb causes a fundamental + change in the cognitive interpretation of the verb, usually resulting in a modification + of both the Essence (see <A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm#Sec3o8">Sec. + 3.8</A>) and the Perspective (see <A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm#Sec3o3">Sec. + 3.3</A>) of the verb, as well as invoking the use of the <FONT size="2">ACTIVATIVE</FONT> + case to mark the “subject” noun (see <A href="ithkuil-ch4-case.htm#Sec4o3o9">Sec. + 4.3.9</A>). The nature of these modifications is explained as follows:</P> +<P align="justify">As we saw in <A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm#Sec3o8">Sections + 3.8</A> and<FONT color="#FF0000"> </FONT><A href="ithkuil-ch4-case.htm#Sec4o3o9">4.3.9</A>, + it is possible in human language to speak about events that are either unreal, + as-yet-unrealized, or alternative versions of reality. Specifically, nouns and + verbs can make reference to hypothetical representations of real-world counterparts + from within an “alternative mental space” created psychologically + (and implied linguistically). This alternative mental space is essentially the + psychological realm of potential and imagination. It is seen, for example, in + the following sentences.</P> +<BLOCKQUOTE> + <P align="justify">1) <EM>You must <STRONG>come home at once</STRONG></EM>.<BR> + 2) <EM>That girl can <STRONG>sing better than anybody</STRONG></EM>.<BR> + 3) <EM>Our troops should <STRONG>attack at dawn</STRONG></EM>.<BR> + 4) <EM>Mother needs <STRONG>you to come with her</STRONG></EM>.<BR> + 5) <EM>The teacher requests that <STRONG>I dance for you</STRONG></EM>.<BR> + 6) <EM>The man believes <STRONG>clowns are dangerous</STRONG></EM>.<EM> </EM></P> +</BLOCKQUOTE> +<P align="justify">Each of the above sentences describe potential or unreal events, + not actual real-world happenings that are occurring or have occurred. In Sentence + (1) no one has yet come home, in Sentence (2) the girl may choose never to sing + again, Sentence (3) does not tell us whether any attack will actually occur, + Sentence (4) does not indicate whether you will come or not, Sentence (5) does + not indicate whether I will dance, nor does Sentence (6) establish whether or + not clowns are, in fact, dangerous.</P> +<P align="justify">Because the clauses following the verbs <EM>must, can, should, + need, request, believe</EM>, in the above sentences all refer to unrealized, + imagined, or hypothetical events, the nouns and verbs within those clauses would + be marked in the <FONT size="2">ABSTRACT</FONT> perspective (see <FONT color="#FF0000"><A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm#Sec3o4">Sec. + 3.4</A></FONT>) and the <FONT size="2">REPRESENTATIVE</FONT> essence (see <A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm#Sec3o8">Sec. + 3.8</A>). The “subject” nouns which invoke the event (the nouns + <EM>you, girl, troops, mother, teacher</EM>, and <EM>man</EM> in the six sentences + above) would be marked in the <FONT size="2">ACTIVATIVE</FONT> case (see <FONT color="#FF0000"><A href="ithkuil-ch4-case.htm#Sec4o3o9">Sec. + 4.3.9</A></FONT>). It should be noted that not all Ithkuil modalities necessarily + invoke hypothetical or unrealized events. For example, in the sentence <EM>She + chose to move to Australia</EM>, the verb <EM>chose</EM> signals that the following + clause is spoken of abstractly (i.e., it is the act of choice that is being + talked about, not the move itself), but nevertheless refers to an actual event + (i.e., she did, in fact, move to Australia). Thus, the <EM>move to Australia</EM> + clause would be marked in the <FONT size="2">ABSTRACT</FONT> perspective but + would <EM>not</EM> be marked in the <FONT size="2">REPRESENTATIVE</FONT> essence. + Thus, the requirement that an Ithkuil modality construction invoke modifications + in the perspective, essence and case of the associated nouns and verbs is entirely + dependent on the semantics and cognitive intent of the utterance.</P> +<P align="justify">There are 30 modalities in Ithkuil. Modality is marked by a + word-final vocalic suffix to a conflational or valence adjunct (see <A href="ithkuil-ch5a-verbs.htm#Sec5o2">Secs. + 5.2</A><FONT color="#FF0000"> </FONT>and<FONT color="#FF0000"> <A href="ithkuil-ch5a-verbs.htm#Sec5o4">5.4</A></FONT>). + In the absence of a conflational or valence adjunct, this vocalic suffix can + stand alone as an autonomous word, functioning as a <STRONG>modality adjunct</STRONG>. + The thirty modalities and their respective suffixes are described below.</P> +<P align="justify"> </P> +<DIV align="justify"> + <TABLE width="45%" border="0" cellpadding="0"> + <TBODY><TR> + <TD width="16%"><FONT size="4"><STRONG>5.5.1</STRONG></FONT></TD> + <TD width="12%" bgcolor="#CCCCCC"> <DIV align="center"><FONT size="4"><STRONG>DES</STRONG></FONT></DIV></TD> + <TD width="9%"><DIV align="center"><FONT size="4"></FONT></DIV></TD> + <TD width="63%"><FONT size="4"><STRONG>The Desiderative</STRONG></FONT></TD> + </TR> + </TBODY></TABLE> +</DIV> +<P align="justify">The <FONT size="2">DESIDERATIVE</FONT> more or less corresponds + to English constructions expressing desire, e.g., to want to, to desire that, + etc. as in <EM>The teacher wants the students to study hard</EM>.

A word + such as ‘summer’ or ‘famine’ would be placed in the + <FONT size="2">CONCURSIVE</FONT> case to create a sentence corresponding to:</P> +<BLOCKQUOTE> +<P align="justify"><EM>She and I were working together during the summer.<BR> + She and I were working together at the time of the famine.</EM></P> +</BLOCKQUOTE> +<P align="justify">Just as the single words ‘summer’ and ‘famine’ + are placed in the <FONT size="2">CONCURSIVE</FONT> case, so an entire sentence + such as <EM>The two nations were at war</EM> can be placed in the <FONT size="2">CONCURSIVE</FONT> + case to provide the temporal context for the main sentence. In other words, + Ithkuil treats the entire subordinate sentence as a noun phrase to be declined + into any required case. That is the purpose of a frame, to place sentences into + noun cases. By doing so, Ithkuil accomplishes the same task for which Western + languages use relative and subordinate conjunctions. In theory, any sentence + can be placed into any of the 81 cases and inserted into another sentence wherever + a simple noun might be placed in the sentence using that same case.</P> +<H3 align="justify"><BR> + 5.7.1 Placement of Frames<A name="Sec5o7o1"></A></H3> +<P align="justify">To construct a case-frame, the second-order sentence (i.e., + the sentence to be subordinated) is placed in the main sentence at the point + where a noun declined for the required case would appear. Unlike the usual verb-final + word order of main sentences in Ithkuil, a case-frame usually has its verb appear + as the first element of the case frame. This is to easily recognize the beginning + of the case frame. The actual case of the sentence is indicated in the verbal + formative in the same way as for nominal formatives, i.e., by mutation of the + stem vowel and mutation of the C<FONT size="1">2</FONT> radical consonant. Table + 17 below offers a review of these mutations for each of the 81 cases. If inserted + into the middle of the main sentence, the final word of the case-frame should + be a noun (or a personal reference adjunct – see <A href="ithkuil-ch8-adjuncts.htm#Sec8o1">Sec. + 8.1</A>) and carries a special affix which signifies the end of the frame if + this will help to avoid confusion as to which words in the sentence belong inside + the frame (i.e., with the secondary sentence), and which belong to the main + sentence. </P> +<P><BR> + <STRONG><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Table 17: Case-Frame Markers + (Mutation by Vowel Series and C<FONT size="1">2</FONT>

5.7.2 Reinterpreting the Notion of a Relative Clause</H3> +<P align="justify">There is no direct equivalent in Ithkuil to the relative clauses + of Western languages. Ithkuil treats such clauses the same as subordinate clauses + using case-frames as described above. However, the manner in which this is done, + while ultimately logical, is somewhat complex and confusing from a Western perspective. + Therefore, to analyze how Ithkuil reinterprets Western relative clauses into + subordinate case-frames will first require us to review the nature of relative + clauses in Western languages such as English. </P> +<P align="justify">A relative clause refers to an imbedded sentence which modifies + or describes a “head” noun in the main clause. There are two types + of relative clauses, restricted (or dependent) and unrestricted (or independent). + The two types are illustrated in the following English sentences.</P> +<P align="justify">RESTRICTED CLAUSE<BR> + (1) <EM>Lions <STRONG>that like chasing their tails</STRONG> can be seen at + any circus.</EM><BR> + (2) <EM>That book <STRONG>(that) I just finished reading</STRONG> was written + by a priest.</EM></P> +<P align="justify">UNRESTRICTED CLAUSE<BR> + (3) <EM>Lions<STRONG>, which like chasing their tails,</STRONG> can be seen + at any circus.</EM><BR> + (4) <EM>That book<STRONG>, which I just finished reading,</STRONG> was written + by a priest.</EM></P> +<P align="justify">In the first sentence, the clause ‘that like chasing + their tails’ refers to a specific type of lion found at a circus (i.e, + not all lions chase their tails). Similarly, the clause ‘(that) I just + finished reading’ in the second sentence is restricted in that it is considered + by the speaker as being necessary in order to identify which book is being talked + about, i.e., without the clause, the listener would not know which book the + speaker was referring to.</P> +<P align="justify"> Note the difference in meaning, however, when comparing the + first two sentences to the third and fourth sentences. In the third sentence, + the speaker implies that all lions chase their tails regardless of whether they + are in the circus. In the fourth sentence, the identity of the book is already + known to the listener, and the speaker is merely providing two additional facts + about it: the fact that he just finished reading it and the fact about its author. + Notice that in English, an unrestricted relative clause is set off in writing + by commas and cannot begin with ‘that’ (rather ‘which’ + or ‘who’ must be used); also, such clauses are normally spoken in + a lowered intonation with juncture (i.e., brief pauses) immediately before and + after the clause.</P> +<P align="justify"><BR> + <STRONG>5.7.2.1 Restricted Clauses</STRONG>. Ithkuil treats the above notions + about relative clauses in a different way. We will first analyze how Ithkuil + creates equivalents to restricted relative clauses. This can best be approached + by analyzing the underlying sentences which give rise to the main and relative + clauses. Analyzing Sentence No. 2 above, it can be broken up into two discrete + sentences:</P> +<P align="justify"><EM>That book was written by a priest. (= A priest wrote that + book.)<BR> + I just finished reading that book.</EM></P> +<P align="justify"> In Ithkuil, the sentence which will be functioning as the + main sentence acts as a “template” in which the secondary sentence + is placed. The particular place in the template to be filled is dependent on + what semantic role, i.e., case (see <A href="ithkuil-ch4-case.html" target="mainFrame">Chapter + 4</A>) the secondary sentence is to fill. Note that the common point of reference + of the two sentences is ‘that book.’ In the main sentence, ‘that + book’ functions in the semantic role of CONTENT (See <A href="ithkuil-ch4-case.htm#Sec4o1o2">Sec. + 4.1.2</A>), superficially equivalent to the direct object of the <FONT size="2">ABSOLUTIVE</FONT> + subject ‘priest’, therefore, the main sentence becomes the template + ‘A priest wrote X’ where X is in the <FONT size="2">OBLIQUE</FONT> + case (See <A href="ithkuil-ch4-case.htm#Sec4o3o1">Section 4.3.1</A>). + Meanwhile, in the secondary sentence, the noun which is the common point of + reference (what in Western grammar would be called the “head” of + the relative clause) is marked with an affix indicating such. So we now have + the two sentences as:</P> +<BLOCKQUOTE> + <P align="justify">A priest wrote [ ]. I just finish reading that book-<FONT size="2">H</FONT>. + </P> +</BLOCKQUOTE> +<P align="justify">The ‘-<FONT size="2">H</FONT>’ in the second sentence + above is meant to represent an affix marking the “head” or common + reference point between the two sentences. At this point, Ithkuil inserts the + second sentence as a case-frame into the empty “slot” based on the + semantic role it will be playing, in this instance the role of CONTENT marked + by the OBLIQUE case (see <A href="ithkuil-ch4-case.htm#Sec4o3o1">Sec. + 4.3.1</A>).</P> +<BLOCKQUOTE> + <P align="justify">A priest wrote [<FONT size="2">OBL</FONT>]. I just finish + reading that book-<FONT size="2">H</FONT>. </P> +</BLOCKQUOTE> +<P align="justify">As described in <A href="ithkuil-ch5b-verbs-contd.htm#Sec5o7o1">Sec. 5.7.1</A>, the verb + of the secondary sentence is moved to the beginning of the case-frame and takes + the relevant case marker (<FONT size="2">OBLIQUE</FONT>).</P> +<BLOCKQUOTE> + <P align="justify">A priest wrote I just finished reading-<FONT size="2">OBL</FONT> + that book-<FONT size="2">H</FONT>.</P> +</BLOCKQUOTE> +<P align="justify">Reverse translating this sentence back to English, the closest + literal translation would be the rather awkward construction: <EM>A priest wrote + what I just finished reading, that book</EM>. However, this is how Ithkuil translates + the English sentence ‘A priest wrote that book that I just finished reading.’</P> +<P align="justify">Two observations can be noted from the Ithkuil sentence. First + of all, unlike Western languages, the main clause contains no “head.” + Instead, the “head” is marked from within the imbedded clause. Secondly, + there is no difference between this process and the rendering of other types + of subordinate clauses using case-frames, as the main sentence was rearranged + (or reinterpreted) to provide a slot for the semantic role of the imbedded sentence, + the exact same way that subordinate clauses are constructed in Ithkuil. Therefore, + as was previously stated, Ithkuil makes no distinction between subordinate and + relative clauses.</P> +<P align="justify">Similarly, the other example sentence from above, <EM>Lions + that like chasing their tails can be seen at any circus</EM> would become in + Ithkuil: <EM>At any circus one can see certain lions-</EM><FONT size="2">H</FONT><EM> + like to chase-</EM><FONT size="2">OBL</FONT><EM> their tails</EM>. A literal + translation into English would be: <EM>At any circus one can see (that) certain + lions like chasing their tails.</EM></P> +<P align="justify"><BR> + <STRONG>5.7.2.2 Unrestricted Clauses</STRONG>. As for independent or unrestricted + clauses, as shown in example sentences (3) and (4) earlier, Ithkuil treats these + differently still. In Western languages, an unrestricted clause does not help + to identify a noun or provide a context for it, but simply adds additional information + about an already identified noun. Thus, unrestricted relative clauses serve + a wholly different cognitive-semantic purpose than restricted clauses, a fact + hidden by their nearly identical surface structures. Ithkuil acknowledges this + profound difference at the overt sentence level by not subordinating any clause + at all. Rather, the two sentences are given co-equal status as main clauses + and simply joined by a coordinating affix. Thus sentences (3) and (4) from earlier + become:</P> +<BLOCKQUOTE> + <P align="justify"><EM>One can see lions at any circus and they like chasing + their tails.<BR> + A priest wrote that book and I just finished reading it.</EM></P> +</BLOCKQUOTE> +<P align="justify"><BR> + <STRONG>5.7.2.3 Use of the <FONT size="2">INHERENT</FONT> Case In Lieu of Simple + Relative Clauses</STRONG>. In <A href="ithkuil-ch4-case.htm#Sec4o5o3">Section + 4.5.3</A> we analyzed how <FONT size="2">MONADIC</FONT> or <FONT size="2">UNBOUNDED</FONT> + nouns in the <FONT size="2">INHERENT</FONT> case take on a special function + of existential identification corresponding to the English phrase ‘that/which/who + is/are…’ to render forms structured as “the my-wife woman,” + meaning ‘the woman who is my wife.” This construction allows a “short-cut” + way of rendering what in English would be simple relative clauses involving + descriptive identifications, eliminating the need in most cases to resort to + a case-frame. For example, the sentence <EM>The man who came to dinner is my + father</EM> is rendered as <EM>The “my-father” man came to dinne</EM>r, + where the noun father would be in the <FONT size="2">INHERENT</FONT> plus <FONT size="2">POSITIVE + </FONT>focus<FONT size="2"> </FONT> (see <A href="ithkuil-ch3-morphology.htm#Sec3o5">Sec. + 3.5</A>) to indicate that it is the new information
