#introduction to linguistics

[questwithambition]

I had a delightful Sunday last week: coffee and a wander around The Wallace Collection, walking though Marylebone with an obligatory stop at Daunt books, and then basking in the sun at Regent’s Park with a cupcake 🧁

Hi there!

This is my very first post on this blog. I'm Azul, a 27-year old ESL teacher from Mexico City.

My uni years where some of the toughest I've ever gone through; back then I was so depressed that I was never able to actually enjoy all my curiosity and hunger for knowledge. It wasn't until last year that I allowed myself to heal and get back in touch with learning, reading and studying (:

I'm currently working on my senior thesis and reading a whole lot about linguistics. When possible, I like to take photographs of night skies and identify stars and constellations

I love languages, and I want to become a polyglot one day. I'm a native Spanish speaker, I'm fluent in English, and I'm currently studying Italian, German and Chinese (:

I created this blog because while I mostly enjoy studying by myself (at night, ofc), I would also like to feel accompanied. I would like to have a community with which I can share stuff that happens to me day after day, be it random, cool or frustrating.

Hello!

I'm an English Literature major with a passion for art history as well. I will be using this blog to share what I've learned during my studies and to keep track of my progress. I am also learning German and working on Latin when I have extra time.

I'm open to new friendships, questions, or discussions about the things I post.

Also, if you spot any mistake, please let me know so I can fix it :)

TIP for high schoolers or college students taking core classes

use the crash course youtube channel to help you review for tests

I'm not saying only watch crash course, definitely do some regular studying as well, but if they have a playlist for your common core class that's gonna cover most if not all of what you'll need to know for a final and it'll be explained well (and it'll probably hold your attention for longer periods of time)

#it'll be less helpful for more specialized college classes #like I can tell you the crash course linguistics playlist isn't gonna get you very far (though it is a good introduction) #but like when I was reviewing for the AP history exam I watched the entirety of crash course US history on like 1.5 speed

Movelang #000 - Introduction to the Language and Noun Class System

Nophhurra, my friends! Today I begin a series of posts showcasing an experimental conlang that I've been working on now and tinkering with for just over a year. At the moment, this language does not have a name in-conlang, and so I'll be referring to it for the time being by the language's project name "Movelang". Originally this language came about as the result of an idea that I wanted to experiment with in a conlang, and the language has since solidified and expanded in more ways than one. In this post, I'll be introducing you all to Movelang, along with the goals that I have since codified for it. As it stands, this language currently holds no connection to my Personal Conworld Project, as it is currently only an experiment, and I don't see it being adapted in any way for it, at least for the time being, but who knows, that could change one day!

The origins of Movelang lay in a discord server that I was and still am actively a part of. At the time, a group of us were discussing neat and nontrivial noun class systems that could potentially be used in a conlang, and one of us (I can't remember exactly who right now, but I do know it wasn't me), suggested an idea for a noun class system that is based on the mode by which nouns in question would be transported or moved around. We all loved this idea right away, and we set originally to put together a server collaborative conlang to implement this idea. After some time passed though, the project fell into obscurity, but I still found this idea to be super cool, and wanted to experiment with it further, and so I ended up stealing the idea, and building it into my own personal experimental piece!

The resulting noun class system shown above is what I ended up with after reconsidering the original class system that we had come up with together. The system I devised consists of 8 noun classes, a slight upgrade from what had originally been 6 more broad classes, which are distinguished by a mode of moving, carrying, or transport used for associated nouns in the appropriate class. I also gave each class a cool name that reflects the mode of movement associated with it as well! The class definitions are of course broad as well, as is the case with all languages that make use of noun classes, and not all nouns that fit into one of these classes will follow the category specified for each one.

In terms of goals, my primary goal was of course to implement the cool noun class concept that the group I was in had originally devised: to set up noun classes based on mode of movement for prospective nouns. Aside from this, my intention is also to experiment with a couple of other aspects of conlanging that I had been wanting to use hitherto. One of the big ones is being able to create a lot from a little in terms of derivations, which I've been able to do for the most part already, in addition to a loose adherence to naturalism, which hasn't been as big of a goal for me with this being an experiment, as already mentioned, but has helped me to keep the language looking plausibly realistic for the most part.

As I continue sharing more bits and pieces with you all about Movelang, I hope to show you how I've been able to adhere to these goals as its development has moved forward, slowly but surely, and I can't want to show you all what I've made very soon!

=-=-=-=

This is my first big post to the blog, and my thoughts can sometimes be all over the place, especially if I'm super excited, so do let me know if you'd like me to clarify anything mentioned here. Feel free to drop me an ask and I'll answer it whenever I find the time if it adds to the post! Who knows, maybe I'll even give a sneak peak of what I have to come later, if it's particularly relevant... Until then, hope you all are as excited as I am! :D

intro to darlinguistics studyblr

well hello there studyblr intro tag followers! my name is posy and i’m really excited and a little nervous to finally start my own studyblr for this school year and would love it if you followed along while i figured things out :)) a little about me!

or check out my “about” page on desktop :) 

me! my name is sage, she/they lesbian, 18 years old, usa based. this is a secondary blog, my main that i follow/interact from is @posycore​

academics! i am a former early college program student so i graduated hs with an AS, so i’m a first year at my uni but also kinda a junior? i’m now majoring in linguistics! and i plan to go to grad school for speech-language pathology :)

interests! sociolinguistics, communication disorders, language acquisition, cognitive science, equity in health care, disability studies and therapy methods that aren’t traumatic, sign languages and Deaf culture, and so many languages but i’m still only fluent in english (rip)

hobbies! knitting, astrology, hanging out with my cat, i mean what else is there

goals! for now, i wanna push myself to network and take advantage of campus resources and self advocate in general - and of course the best possible grades and to be in clubs! long term, i wanna be an SLP, i wanna work with kids in a clinical setting, i want to make a safe space for children with disabilities to find their voice and especially want to advocate for mute, selectively mute, and otherwise nonverbal kids, because i don’t think speech therapy should just be about forcing people into speaking :)

studyblr??? yeah i don’t know man i never thought i’d have the style or motivation to post in the oh so aesthetic studyblr community but i really wanna be here!! so at the very least expect textpost updates on my academic pursuits, maybe some rambles on how cool some classes are, and hopefully i can get around to some cute photos to post with them - including pics of my cat :)

Every semester, I feel like my instant thought is always "I am dropping every class. They're all horrible." but by the end usually end up really liking it so I really just need to ignore my first impressions, but god looking at the syllabi really destroys my mental state

#yet i dont remember liking the first class i took for my one major and im not excited for it this time either 😐 #even tho ive spent the most time around that prof cumulatively i still dont really think i like him all that much 😭😭😭 #my department sucks because theres only 2 profs and the one sucks so bad that she has a 1 star review #and the other prof who i feel lukewarm about goes so far as to tell his students to avoid classes with her #so im really stuck between a rock and a hard place 😭😭😭 #i think he just gets on my nerves too easily. and he was on the abroad trip i went on so i do feel like ive gotten closer #but like you know those people who the dynamic feels very one sided with? thats him for me. i think its just a cultural difference tho tbh #but otherwise i think my other classes will be fine :D #just feeling a bit 😧 rn bcs i have to make an introduction vid for my online class and I DONT WANNNAAAAAAAAAAA #also i miss all my profs from my prev semester :< #i think i talked about it on here but ahhhh my one linguistics prof she was so nice #but it haunts me bcs she asked if she could use one of my papers as an example paper in the future #and i was of course very honored.... #BUT ALSO THE PAPER I WROTE USED F1 DRIVERS AS EXAMPLES LMAO #so im so glad that the first half of the 2023 season is now just a time capsule in that class #like literally a time capsule where you can exactly tell which era it was bcs i used Nyck as an example 🌚 #well anyways wish me luck i hate starting things it's like trying to cram yourself into a new skin or something #and then when youre very pleased and comfortable with it all its then over :( #catie.rambling.txt

"One insight that emerges out of doing comparative philosophy is that the Chinese tradition is not, as often first assumed, a mirror opposite of the dominant Western one... In trying to understand Chinese culture, we have to, with imagination, seek out a third position." The authors of this translation said nice dichotomy, what lies outside it idiot! (a secret third thing)

#please feel free to ignore this #I'm reading The Analects #They are so serious about deconstructing the 'mystical otherness of the East' while also respecting the differences #that arise from a vastly differently cultural and linguistic tradition and I'm so here for it #Writing into every magazine peddling Sinophobia with just excerpts from this introduction

bad news: i'm at roughly 3000 words out of 8000-10.000 words that i need to write for my thesis, preferably till tomorrow night

good news: i've easily got 5000 words for my analysis part!!!!!

anyone wanna place some bets about the number different series i'll manage to stick into my bachelor thesis

#so far i've got midnight motel‚ an eye for an eye‚ and star in my mind in part one #part 1 is where i give an introduction to the thai language and talk about the difficulties that come up in translation #in part two i'm gonna analyze what translation strategies are being used when things get difficult to translate #i was planning on putting bbs in there #also the shipper (i know‚ i know!!!!! 😩 in my defense it's super interesting linguistically tho and very relevant for my thesis topic!!) #i've also got msp and mlc in the selection in my notes #considering i have a lot more words left than expected i might be able to squeeze in some not me too and possibly some atots #airenyah plappert #i have like 30 pages worth of example dialogue that i can use to analyze gklsdkl
