Analytic English

(This is just an experiment, an idea. Please take with a grain of salt and enjoy).

• Word order:

  • Same as usual.
  • Word order indicates sentence structure, therefore negating the need for a copula.

• Verbs:

  • Verbs do not inflect for subject nor tense. Typically, if not always, a verb will be in its infinitive form, without the to.
  • Irregular verbs also take on the infinitive form, including to be.
  • The word be only needs to be used when its needed as an infinitive.

• Nouns:

  • Count nouns are typically singular when on their own, though ambiguity, intentional or not, can arise. To specify plurality, use many. To specifically specify singularity, use one, not a.
  • Uncountable nouns can be used with a determiner/unit of measurement to use them like count nouns.

• Pronouns:

  • The pronouns: Me, You, Them, It, Him, Her, Us, This, That, These, Those.
  • Why did I choose
  • Pronouns do not change for subject, object, or possession.
  • Demonstratives/Articles should always proceed the specific noun.

• Adjectives, Adverbs, Adpositions, Conjunctions, Interjections:

  • Same as usual.

• Other:

  • You can just use no in place of not.
  • For yes or no questions, use X no X, plain X?, or a similar structure already used in English.

Examples

• Today, me eat chicken. It tasty. Tomorrow, me eat cheeseburger.
• This year in August, me and family go on vacation. It fun. Now, us at home. Us work.
• Me eat when you enter and interrupt. Me now upset and no eat.
• Me hovercraft have many eel.
• Why use many word when few word do trick?
• You hungry not hungry?
