placement of adverb
by Lieven L. Litaer 14 Apr '23

I just noticed that a meaning of a sentence can change depending on where an adverb is placed. I'm not sure if there is a rule forbidding, or if there are even examples for that. See this: {not bIQong 'e' vISov.} "I know that you never sleep" vs. {bIQong not 'e' vISov.} "I never knew that you sleep." Can I do that? TKD 6.7 (add) says that "the adverbial precedes the object-verb-noun construction". In the above example, {'e'} is the object of the verb {Sov}, so I think it's correct. – Or did I forget something? I somehow feel there is a canon example for this (x not 'e'), but I just can't remember. -- Lieven L.

It occurred to me today as an echo to the discussion about Sentence As Object, and Krankor’s example that erred toward accepting a question as the first sentence, that there might actually be a case for this with certain second verbs: chay’ leSpal vIchenmoHlaH ‘e’ vISIv. Or, to rewrite Krankor’s example: chay’ Duj’a’ vIghajlaH DaH ‘e’ boSIvbe’choH. Other verbs that would naturally have a question as their Direct Object, like {ghel} might also serve, if this proved to be acceptable. There are no stated rules and no canon to support this. It just makes sense… … and it would give Okrand an answer to how to effectively use {SIv}, which he wondered about so much in his interview... pItlh charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)
