Wait okay talking about Morpheme earlier reminded me of this bit from a patreon story a few months ago that is subtly the most Bell Town Core(TM) thing ever

“There’s something kind of romantic about it,” Morpheme says, over the commotion of a group of building crew girls beating out a small flame on a floating patch of creosote. “I think it will inspire everyone.”

Whelmed

Currently on the chapter in my linguistics class that’s talking about morphemes, specifically, free and bound morphemes. The example was that -whelmed in overwhelmed and underwhelmed doesn’t stand as it’s own word, so it isn’t a free morpheme.

But I’ll be honest, the idea of using whelmed as word is very funny to me.

Fuck it I'm bored. I hate describing my experiences with DID as "multiplicity" or "plurality". I don't experience DID as having multiple people in one body! We're not different people! I just have different states of being "me"!

Anyways I'm gonna call that being polyego from now on. Poly being multiple or man, ego being self or "I". I experience polyegoism. I'm polyego. Etc.

I think we need to hone in more on the fact that Hiccup views Stoick as a local Tavern Karen

studying languages means Christmas at uni is just russian carols from the left, scottish carols on ACTUAL BAGPIPES??? on the right, im trying to smuggle an elf on the shelf to the faculty lounge and there's a guy in a krampus suit following me

#uni #listen i love the chaos but writing an exam when all you can hear is a russian version of carol of the bells and bagpipes next room is #“WHAT THE FUCK IS A INFLECTIONAL MORPHEME” “С Рождеством-” “SCOTLAAAAAND” #NOW THEYRE SINGING SILENT NIGHT IN BOTH ENGLISH AND GERMAN???

lowkey i think the clones would not have a strong culture of like. consistent place names and the like. names to them are personal and may or may not carry significant history, but when it comes to naming places--well. they have no place. they don't settle anywhere. their history doesn't bleed into any earth and it isn't carved into any rivers or mountains. any settlement or place they name i think would be more literal since I think they'd have a more literal than conceptual language (and notice how their language is unnamed [for safety reasons]).

so their village could easily be Blue River Village because it happens to be by a blue river. It could be Settlement A until they come up with something else. It could also be 501st village. they might choose a name from their language. but place names convey as much as they do because they have the benefit of sheer time on their side--years, decades, centuries of conflicts and compromises and movements and changes from all sorts of people. but they're one people with a linear and brutally short history.

#ch posts #meta #star wars #the clone wars #clonelang #ch reads #see bc irl there's placenames that literally convey entire histories #morals and stories and fables #and its so cool #but partly why thats possible is bc of how the morphemes within these languages work #and idk im not going that deep on their language kajshdlfaks #but their language is a very efficient and straight forward one! #but ofc there's room for abstraction there'd have to be #i dont want to do like a. linguistic determinism thing where bc they dont have X concept they think like Y #cause thats not always the case and tbh their first languages would be Basic anyways

Does anyone else affectionately call tumblr 'the tumble-dryer'? /gen q

#I have been calling it this since before I joined #and i think its quite fitting tbh #its affectionate whilst also acknowledging that its a bit of a mess #also I just realised that the 'k' in 'acknowledging' might come from the 'know' morpheme not the 'ac' morpheme?? #tumblr #and also #linguistics #slightly #at the end #own post

I AM ON THE VERGE OF UNDERSTANDING AND IT'S INFURIATING

transcript from my best of understanding: kanji -> もと死神の俺が　二人聞でも三人聞でも戦うぜ romanji -> moto shinigami no ore ga, futari bun demo san nin bun demo tatakauze the gist of what i get -> i used to be a god of death(in the context of the game "a reaper"). even if there's two people or three people, i'll fight.

I AM THIS 🤏 CLOSE TO ACTUALLY GETTING IT. THISSS CLOSE.

Apparently lots of men like it when a pretty girl gets all in up their face in a way that makes them feel like they must be in a fever dream, all while she is conspiratorially whispering nonsense words to them, such as “Ooga booga”.

Well that's just nice

it has everything to do with the fact that rivet is 50 and morphie is 18 but it cracks me up how rivet has no idea where her girlfriend is and is like "my feelings are my own business, i must bear up bravely and get on with it because to do otherwise would be to shame myself and her" and meanwhile morpheme is living a block away from her girlfriend and is like "I AM DYING FOR WANT OF HER, MY EVERY NERVE IS BURNING UP WITH LOVE, TAKE MY RIGHT ARM IF IT WOULD ONLY GRANT ME ONE KISS"

My journey for looking up Na'vi adpositions today (W= general wikipedia page, N= Na'vi wikibook):

Learn Na'vi App -> Eywa App -> Na'vi (W) -> Adpositions (N) -> Discourse particles (N) -> Affect (N) -> Register (N) -> Word order (N) -> Topic and Comment (N) -> Transivity (N) -> Morpheme glossary (N)-> Demonstratives (W) -> Pro-form (W) -> Linguisic anaphora (W) -> Endophora (W) -> Exophora (W) -> Linguistic cohesion (W) -> Linguistic coherence (W) -> Presupposition (W) -> Linguistic entailment (W) -> Logical consequence (W) -> Linguistic prescription (W) -> Neologism (W) -> Protologism (W) -> Style guide (W) -> Sign Language (W) -> Indo-Pakistani Sign Language (W) -> Natural language (W) -> Synthetic Language (W) -> Fusional language (W) -> Agglutination (W) - Morpheme glossary (N) -> END.

I learned more about language in 3 hours than any amount of time in school. Irayo ma Wikipedia 💀.

#all because I was trying to find the morpheme for 'ni' in a word i was breaking down #because I couldnt find it as an adposition like 'ne' and it wasnt listed as a suffix or prefix #na'vi #linguistics #lì'fya lena'vi #oel.mine

The side effect of my mother tongue is that I’m automatically rebracketing the word “githyanki”

In Polish, the suffix “-ki” is characteristic for plural nouns.

When it comes to people, there’s a group of female nouns that pretty regularly usually ends with “-ka” includes nationalities and town citizens. So French woman would be Francuzka, pl. Francuzki, Swedish woman would be Szwedka, pl. Szwedki, girl/woman from Warsaw would be warszawianka, pl. warszawianki, it’s pretty consistent, because largely the basic form of nationality is male, and female form uses the formant “-ka” during the word formation.

So by my first instinct, the word “githyanki”:

- sounds like a female noun

- sounds like it’s plural, and the singular form would be githyanka.

Which is not true, because githyanki is one of the names that remain completely unchanged and uninflected in translation and as far as I know it’s a name that can be either singular or plural and it doesn’t change its form at all. However, I can’t get rid of that notion and playing BG3 only reminded me of it.

#It's a textbook definition of rebracketing #take a noun identify the morphemes incorrectly and run with it #There ARE male nouns that also use this formant but the connection seems less automatic for me #It could end with -k then #like ziemniak XD #wianek or koszyk #It could very well be githyanek - githyanka - githyanki #like kijanki which doesn't help with a frog connotation XD #linguistics? #RPG #translation
