Has anyone got any ideas for a simple grammar design?
Look at Interglossa. Minimal number of verbs (a dozen?), which basically only encode thematic structures (feel, act, react, become…); and lots of verb modifiers, which capture the actual verb semantics. A thing of beauty, which has not really been followed up. Answered 2016-02-08 [Originally posted on http://quora.com/Has-anyone-got-any-ideas-for-a-simple-grammar-design/answer/Nick-Nicholas-5]
