Except for the meanings, there is no formal difference
between the two sentences. In the written form there is
actually only one sentence, that is, (69). The meanings
69. Macut geu-dawa aneuk nyan ji-neuk poh gopnyan.
Aunt 3r-accuse child that 3y-want beat sher
given in (67) and (68) are based on how (69) is read, that
is, based on the intonation of the sentence. If dawa and
aneuk nvan are pronounced as a single unit, the NP aneuk
nyan is the direct object of dawa. and the sentence is as in
(67). But, if there is a comma-like break separating aneuk
nyan from dawa. and the intonation on aneuk nyan ji-neuk poh
gopnvan is that of a "subject-predicate" sentence, then
(69) is a sentence as in (68).
The intonation of the two sentences can be shown as in
(70) and (71) respectively. In (70), it is possible to have
a break between aneuk nyan and the following clause, but not
between dawa and aneuk nvan. In (71), the natural break is
between dawa and aneuk nyan.
70. Maout N geu-dawa aneuk nyan ji-neuk poh gopnyan.
Aunt 3r-accuse child that 3y-want beat she-
'Aunt is accusing that child of trying to beat
her.'
