| '''Windermere''' is a conlang based on similarities between Hebrew and Mon-Khmer languages, such as final stress, minor syllables and overall head-initial syntax.
| |
| | |
| ==Introduction==
| |
| Windermere was originally created by [[User:Praimhín|Praimhín]] for the [[Fifth Linguifex Relay]]. It is currently being revived and adapted for [[Verse:Tricin]] as a classical language of Talma. This version will also be more synthetic than the original creator envisioned.

| ;Notes
| |
| */ə/ occurs only in unstressed syllables.
| |
| */oj/ is pronounced [ø], which is borrowed into Eevo as ''øø''.
| |
| | |
| ===Stress===
| |
| Stress is invariably final.
| |
| ===Phonotactics===
| |
| Zero and C are the only permitted word-final codas.
| |
| | |
| ==Morphology==
| |
| Windermere morphology is exclusively prefixing and infixing.
| |
| ===Nouns===
| |
| ''im-'' is used as the plural prefix.
| |
| | |
| The case markers are the following:
| |
| *''łi'': direct case marker
| |
| *''wa'': indirect case marker
| |
| *''mi-'': locative
| |
| *''ya-'': comitative
| |
| *''șa-'': allative
| |
| | |
| ===Pronouns===

| !|Indirect

| |

| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| After a preposition, indirect forms are used.
| |
| | |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| Windermere verbs inflect for mood, aspect, and trigger/voice, but not for tense. (Daughter languages use periphrastic constructions for tense, and use aspect and trigger affixes derivationally.)
| |
| | |
| The trigger system is a Tagalog-style trigger system, with the focus on the direct case argument.
| |
| <!--
| |
| ====Personal inflection====
| |
| The personal affixes are prefixes, and they index the direct case argument. For example:
| |
| {| class="bluetable lightbluebg " style=" text-align: center;"
| |
| |+
| |
| |-
| |
| ! !!''rie''!!''łen''!!''łes''!!''in''!!''is''!!''tan''!!''tsal''!!''bang''!!''ngea''!!''uob''!!''tuob''
| |
| |-
| |
| ! ''dur'' 'sit'
| |
| |'''''ră'''dur''||'''''łe'''dur''||'''''łe'''dur''||''dur''||''dur''||''dur''||'''''tsa'''dur''||'''''ba'''dur''||'''''nge'''dur''||''dur''||''dur''
| |
| |-
| |
| ! ''plang'' 'stand'
| |
| |'''''ră'''plang''||'''''łe'''plang''||'''''łe'''plang''||''plang''||''plang''||''plang''||'''''tsa'''plang''||'''''ba'''plang''||'''''nge'''plang''||''plang''||''plang''
| |
| |}
| |
| -->
| |
| | |
| ====Aspect====
| |
| Aspect inflection uses a combination of prefixes and reduplication.
| |
| | |
| Reduplicant uses 1st consonant (''F'') or last consonant (''L'')
| |
| *habitual = unmarked for some verbs but marked with ''ta-'' for others
| |
| *perfective = unmarked for some verbs but marked with ''el-'' for others
| |
| *momentane = ''bla-''
| |
| *progressive = ''ăL-''
| |
| *gnomic = ''FăL-''
| |
| *frequentative = ''FeLFă-''
| |
| *inchoative/inceptive = ''aLFă-''
| |
| | |
| ====Intensive====
| |
| *''thu-'' = "very" - intensive prefix
| |
| ====Trigger====
| |
| *Core triggers
| |
| **''‹ăc›'' = Patient trigger [telic]
| |
| **''‹ră›'' = Patient trigger [atelic]
| |
| **''‹ăs›'' = Agent trigger [= a weird way of syntacticizing passive voice/ergativity]
| |
| **''‹ăl›'' = Reflexive trigger
| |
| *Applicative triggers - these meanings are not always literal
| |
| **''‹ăn›'' = Applicative trigger
| |
| **''‹ith›'' = Locative trigger
| |
| **''‹ăng›'' = Instrumental trigger
| |
| **''‹ăfong›'' = Destination trigger
| |
| **''‹ălis›'' = Comitative trigger
| |
| **''‹ăm›'' = Source/cause trigger
| |
| **''‹ăchem›'' = Benefactive/purpose trigger
| |
| **''‹ărea›'' = Malefactive trigger [also "lest"]
| |
| | |
| ===Adjectives===
| |
| Adjectives are stative verbs: they behave almost idenitcally to verbs but they cannot take the imperative by themselves.
| |
| | |
| ===Derivational morphology===
| |
| *incopyfixation = nom'zer for underived verbs
| |
| **for simple initials: ‹''ăLm''›
| |
| **for complex initials: ‹''măL''›
| |
| *''bin-'' = nominalizer for derived verbs
| |
| *''hăl-'' = nominalizer for adjectives
| |
| *''și-'' = negation
| |
| *''ing-'' = verbalizer
| |
| *''yăn-'' = adjectivizer
| |
| *''nu-'' = agentive
| |
| TODO: verbalizers, "adjectivizers" ("X-like", "characterized by X")
| |
| | |
| *Head-initial concatenation. Common concatenated morphemes:
| |
| **''hălwier'' = '-logy' (lit. "beauty of")
| |
| | |
| ==Syntax==
| |
| ===Constituent order===
| |
| The basic word order of Windermere is DIRECT-VERB-INDIRECT - if there is no direct case argument for the trigger to act upon then the word order is VERB-INDIRECT. This should help promote the "focus-first"/"predicate-first" word order in Eevo.
| |
| | |
| ===Noun phrase===
| |
| ===Verb phrase===
| |
| There is a preverbal negative particle ''die''.
| |
| | |
| ===Time clauses===
| |
| For a non-finite time clause, ''mi-'' + verbal noun may be used.
| |
| | |
| ===Relative clauses===
| |
| ''mo-'' = relativizer
| |
| *often combined with the complementizer: ''mong''
| |
| ===Complement clauses===
| |
| ''nga'' = complementizer
| |
| | |
| ===Reason clauses===
| |
| ===Verbal noun clauses===
