October 4, 2022

First day of lessons for this academic year – it's been a tiring day, but I'm really glad to be back! This semester will mostly be focused on Russian, save for one hour of English Linguistics a week, focusing on Pragmatics. I'm also particularly happy with how my notes are turning out – I'm using an old 2020 planner flipped upside down, as the paper is too good to just throw away.

End of week 6/12

Syntax exam didn’t go very well. Next week is midterms, I don’t really feel confident about that, wait to see how it goes … Currently working on areal linguistics.

| 3/100 days of productivity | Mercredi, 21, avril, 2022 |

Sooo today I missed school bc I had this essay (remember?) I had to finish. It's called Mercy or guilt? (¿Piedad o culpa?) and it's about how the woman protagonist is manipulated the whole play so, at the end, she ends up "loving" the male protagonist. For my essay I had to search a bit about the life of Torquato Trasso, the author, and he was a pisces! I am also a pisces! Which is crazy xD

I also did my syntax hw... that class makes me the happiest <3

I entered this career bc I like literature but ended up IN LOVE with linguistics I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM, they make me so happy and the analysis of our vocab make me so excited of being capable of understand it fully!

I missed crazy my friends, too. But I'll see them tomorrow.

Good night, strangers. XO

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear me:

We actually finished that essay in one hot day I am so absolutely proud of you! Took us long, I know. You were sad and distracted all the time but you made it, PLUS de syntax homework... you did amazing today, I wish you the rest you deserve.

Lots of hugs (bc I know you need them), Zepher.

100 Days of Productivity (Fall 2022′s Version)

September 25, 2022 - 22/100

This weekend I:

Did some readings for typology

Submitted a discussion post and response for typology

Wrote a discussion post for psycholinguistics

Practiced Spanish

Watched the movie The Wild Child and took a quiz on it

Did some sociolinguistics readings

Finished a group worksheet for sociolinguistics

Learned how to do my hair with hairsticks :)

I got to go home for the weekend! It was so nice to get to see my parents and the dogs and the kitten and everything. I really needed a calm weekend away from my dorm after being sick all week. I’m feeling better overall, but I still have a bad cough and I’m a little worried it’s turning into bronchitis again (I’ve had it twice). On a related note, since I wasn’t feeling well I had a lot of catch up work to do this weekend, but I think I was able to get everything done that I needed to

Oh! And an update for grad school applications: one of my professors turned in their letter of recommendation, so all I need is one more and I can submit another application :)

📖: Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen and Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow by Jessica Day George

🎧: Songs for Sale by David Nail

your local milo thatch kinnie is linguistposting again

this is probably going to get no notes because it's just a couple conlang thoughts and it's Long but i am still dropping at the internet's disappointed feet like a cat with a dead mouse. maybe i will get a linguistics friend out of it; anyway here you go ya nerds

You can't make a fully fleshed-out, realistic, plausible conlang. (Well, you can, but you have to make an entire planet first.)

First off, no language is truly "pure" and uninfluenced. English wouldn't be English without the influences from French and Latin on top of its Germanic core; your "finished" conlang is too unadulterated to be real. It's a baby language at the beginning of its journey. A realistic conlang requires the creation of several other conlangs to facilitate word borrowing and influence from other languages.

And that's just the beginning! There has to be history too!

Language is influenced by so many things--culture, other languages, historical events--that in a sense, the creation of a perfectly realistic conlang requires the building of a whole world, with multiple fictional societies, languages, and a full global history. You'd have to start from the very beginning with what human historians don't even understand about ourselves: how language got invented in the first place. World building to the Absolute Max.

Wow, that's a lot of work. Someone tell the forever DMs about it. Or maybe don't. That would be bad for their already-godawful sleep schedules. On second thought, go tell your local forever DM to get some sleep. Tell them Thorne the linguistics student from the internet cares about their well-being. Give them a mug of tea from me.

I study linguistics and the fuckers saying they/them pronouns are hard because they're meant to be plural not singular? GUESS THE FUCK WHAT, THE FACT WE DON'T HAVE NEUTOR PRONOUNS IN THE SINGULAR IS SOMETHING THAT'S WEIRD ALREADY. How tf are you defending they/them as a plural pronouns and yet denying that it's being used this way as a placeholder? and that's how languages work, they constantly evolve and change and no one randomly came up all the rules or english in a day, they're all general trends we noticed through the study of this language throughout CENTURIES of it's use and it's changing faster than every but that didn't mean it wasn't changing before !!

One of My Friends Said That She Has No Respect for English Because of Colonialism

One of my friends said that she has no respect for English because of colonialism but she still uses English just for practical reason...this is hilarious. If you have no respect for English just because of colonialism why you still use English?

English may have spread throughout the world because of colonialism and that is natural in the development of a language. However, the English we know today is not because of colonialism, there are many factors that influence it, especially the internet.

The directional "下/上/出/去/来" puzzle guide

I for one still confuse the usage of 出来 and 出去 and other similar structures so here's a guide to slightly depuzzle this puzzle.

上去 (Shàngqù): To go up and away from the speaker

下去 (Xiàqù): To go down and away from the speaker

出去 (Chūqù): To go out and away from the speaker

出来 (Chūlái): To go out and towards the speaker

上来 (Shànglái): To go up and towards the speaker

下来 (Xiàlái): To go down and towards the speaker

过来 (Guòlái): To ask someone to come over to the speaker

过去 (Guòqù): This one is tricky as it can have a few meanings so here are some random examples.

Movement away from the speaker e.g. 我来这家公司工作已经过去五年了= I have been working in this company for the past five years

Movement in time during the past e.g. 过去的年份里，公园里有很多树和花= In the past years, there were many trees and flowers in the park

Here's an illustration I made (it's been a while lol) to make it less (?) confusing：

hey real quick if youre a studyblr or even just a person in academia and

🌟 are neurodivergent and/or struggle with mental or physical health problems that impede on your academic performance

🌟 are a first gen student or otherwise feel a bit lost navigating this world compared to your peers who might have a bit more uh,, nepo baby energy

🌟 really hate the corrupt and elitist parts of academia but also love your studies and your dreams too much to give up on it

🌟 genuinely want to better the world with your education not just dangle it over people as part of a god complex or use it to help gatekeep knowledge

🌟 just generally kinda feel like academia wasnt really built for you but you are determined to make it so that it is, if not for yourself then for future generations at the very least

interact with this would you? you dont even need to follow if you arent a studyblr or dont want that on your dash, i just feel chronically alone out here sometimes and i could use the reminder that i am definitely not the only person feeling like this and not the only one fighting this fight. if this post only gets one note thats good enough for me lol

#studyblr #studyspo #neurodivergent #actually adhd #adhd #id tag like other neurodiversity tags but i only really identify w adhd and i feel wrong tagging outside of that lol #but pls know i truly do mean any and all neurodivergent people #mental illness #disability #academia #mental health #adhd studyblr #adhd student #lingblr #linguistics #adding ling tags cuz this has already been finding fellow ling people and i want that to continue lol hi #🌟.txt

| 5/100 days of productivity | Vendredi, 22, avril, 2022 |

Sooooo I had my french exam today. I must say, I ADORE my french classes! The teacher is just SO DAMN COOL and funny and he makes learning not just fun, but easy too (at least for me).

For my career I did three big things today:

Finished and submit my Renaissance literature essay.

Did a questionnaire about "El Amadís de Gaula", a book from the 15th century.

Finished an assignment about men and it's rol in renaissance society (which was in pairs, I did it with a close friend, we're such a great team).

Aside that I'm about to make a little planning, I have two projects coming to due date and I need to organize myself so I don't procrastinate and die in the middle of next week.

In addition to school stuff, today like every friday I spent the afternoon with my cousin (which I call bro, bc I love him that much) and we finished The Lord of the Rings trilogy... SUCH AN AMAZING TRILOGY NFGL LOVED IT. I'm officially obsessed with the Rohirrim... Eomer it's just in other level just as his sister Eowyn but I could never forget Pipin... that hobbit took my heart shamelessly.

I'll leave some of my french notes just for the fun of it... fun fact of the day, I haven't noticed before that my french dictionary has a list of conjugated verbs (in spanish AND french!) and it absolutely saved me during the exam :D

That's it, strangers.

Love and hugs. XX

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently reading:

Orange, Ichigo Takano (manga, 5th volume).

La llamada de Chthulu: relatos y poemas del espacio sideral, H. P. Lovecraft (translation Javier Barriopedro, ilustration Héctor Valdivia and prologue Rolando Diez Laurini).

No Longer Human, Dazai Osamu (translation Donald Keene).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear me:

Today was SO MUCH FUN. Yesterday I told you today was going to be fine, didn't I? Well... let's face it, it was fucking great!This was the afternoon you needed, wasn't it?I hope you have a great sleep and rest! Keep up the great work you've been doing all along.

Ps.: do not forget to add the essays you need to reed for next week's R.L. class on the agenda.

Love you.

Zepher.
