Sentence Analysis

A time-first movement sentence using the home-specific mapping of go.

Sentence Analysis

Chinese semantic order is 今天 / 我 / 回 / 家, recorded as Today / I / go / home. The surface token go selects the contextual mapping 回 because the target is Home. Natural English moves today to the end and adds am going, but that comparison does not alter the Chinglish order.
