SVO-p clearly identifies who is acting what the action is, and upon
what. This makes SVO-p particularly useful for communicating clearly
within the context of real or potential conflict.<br>
<br>
SVO-p is also useful for communications that are intended to
maintain, build and support intimacy.<br>

<div>I like the <span style="font-size:12.8px">SVO-p. I did some

There are 11 occasions o of of SVO-p in <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.lib.ru/MILN/pooh.txt_with-big-pictures.html#3">Winnie
The Pooh</a> all together :)
<div>And it is interesting that all of them are lost when
translated into Estonian :(</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And it makes a lot of sense to translate the "ordinary"
questions into the SVO-p.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Be well!</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Greetings to All
Who Inquire (the "AWI people"....)<br>
<br>
Questioning questioning is meta-questioning or
"questioning qua questioning." The linguistic dimension
of the interrogative tense in English is interesting to
me. <br>
<br>
SVO-P is a syntax. The SVO-p syntax
(subject-verb-object, present tense) has no
interrogative form. So-called "questions" are best
phased starting with "I wonder," for example, "I wonder
if anyone cares at all about SVO-p."<br>
<br>
SVO-p is consistent with trend following (also known as
"wave riding.") <br>
<br>
Forming expressions in SVO-p helps the listener to
quickly identify who is acting, what the action is, and
upon what. SVO-p keeps thoughts in the now and may help
clarify your thinking.<br>
<br>
The past is often a convenient dumping ground for blame;
the future is often a convenient place to deposit
promises. <br>
<br>
Present-tense expressions (in general) and SVO-p (in
particular) both tend to make indirect communication in
English very difficult.<br>
<br>
The statement:<br>
"My people will call your people, and we'll do lunch."<br>
<br>
In SVO-p, it reads like this:<br>
"My people plan to call your people about lunch."<br>
<br>
The question: <br>
"Does anyone have a question?"<br>
<br>
In SVO-p, it reads like this:<br>
"I wonder if anyone has a question."<br>
<br>
Some languages are "tenseless" .....<br>

There is controversy about how the Hopi language handles
time: some say it is a tenseless language:<br>

<br>
I hope you give SVO-p a try. You might want to walk
around your town, and talk to people in SVO-p. The
results are interesting.<br>
<br>
The results may surprise you. <br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
