[edit] trigger system?
Is this the same thing as a trigger system? — Gwalla | Talk 04:40, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Gwalla. Kwamikagami wrote this. I have been planning for a long long time to go over it. I think I remember some sources calling the system "trigger".. I can dig up the references. All the articles I've read have used the term "Philippine-type focus system," but that term seems to be headed toward disfavor too, in favor of something using the term "voice." But that trigger system article is kinda imprecise...

- I think trigger is an outdated term, still used by conlangers. Though I need to check sources some more, the terminology used in this article jibes with what I remember from linguistic literature. --Chris S. 03:11, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] needs rewriting
I've been thinking for a long time this page needs a top-down rewrite. Maybe after this semester ends.--Ling.Nut 13:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
