S532
no — la-Elohim ka-si
Baseline correction: simple polar dialogue
Notes
no (that doesn't hold) + — (suspension) + la-Elohim ka-si (Elohim spoke). Two beats: the claim is denied, then held in suspension, then the replacement arrives from within the held state. The — is doing real work here: it prevents the correction from landing as a flat negation followed by a new sentence (no. la-Elohim ka-si would be two sentences; no — la-Elohim ka-si is a single continuous speech act in the same way ru — Y is the full affirmative with elaboration pattern, grammar.md §Answers to Polar Questions). no — Y handles immediate two-party correction completely. COR-001 count: 1.
S533
no — la-Elohim ka-si ; la-na-Moses se
Extended correction: deny + replace + continue
Notes
no — la-Elohim ka-si (correction, as S532) + ; (sequential) + la-na-Moses se (Moses perceived / Moses heard). Tests whether the no — Y pivot chains cleanly with ; for denial + replacement + continuation. Parse: [no — la-Elohim ka-si] ; [la-na-Moses se] — the correction unit is left of ;; the continuation is right. No ambiguity: ; connects the two units rather than interrupting the correction. no — Y ; Z is a productive correction-chain. COR-001 count: 2.
S534
la-de ki ; no — la-be ki
Self-correction mid-discourse: speaker catches own error
Notes
la-de ki = it decayed (wrong verb produced); ; = and then (the speaker continues); no — = no — [hold]; la-be ki = it grew / came into being (the correction). Self-correction in running speech: the speaker produces an error, then pivots. The ; before no — marks this as an intra-utterance sequence rather than a response to an interlocutor — the error was stated and is now in the prior discourse stream, and no — corrects it within the same speaker's turn. no — handles self-correction cleanly. The — suspension creates the natural beat of recollection between error and repair. COR-001 count: 3.
S535
la-na-Moses ka-si / la-Elohim ka-si
DIAGNOSTIC: / as correction attempt — why it fails
S536
no — la-Elohim ka-si lo-si
DIAGNOSTIC: the "silent pivot" case — where ke would earn its slot
S537
— la-Elohim ka-si
DIAGNOSTIC: — alone as implicit correction (no no)
S538
no [minimal negative — denies; no replacement]
no, la-Elohim ka-si [denial + separate clause — two speech acts]
no — la-Elohim ka-si [correction speech act — one unitary act]
DIAGNOSTIC: no alone vs no — Y — the role of — in the correction unit
Batch Summary
| Entry | Form tested | Verdict | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| S532 (COR-001-A) | no — Y |
adequate | complete correction speech act; mirror of ru — Y |
| S533 (COR-001-B) | no — Y ; Z |
adequate | correction + continuation chain; ; joins cleanly |
| S534 (COR-001-C) | self-correction | adequate | no — handles intra-utterance error repair |
| S535 (COR-001-D) | / as correction |
fails | / asserts symmetry; correction requires epistemic asymmetry |
| S536 (COR-001-E) | ke pressure point |
marginal gap | silent pivot in multi-exchange; no re-activates stale error; gap real, corpus pressure zero |
| S537 (COR-001-F) | — alone |
fails | no denial signal; reads as topic shift; no is load-bearing |
| S538 (COR-001-G) | no alone vs no — Y |
structural | — is the juncture that produces a unitary correction act; not redundant |
