Re: War in the Middle East, again
This reminds me of someone I know who considers themselves a feminist -- she dunks on Muslims to no end because of this kind of thing (in addition to essentially believing in collective responsibility, where all Muslims are responsible for what some Muslims do (and all men are responsible for what ...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
Well it's from a leftist, so they're not using it as a brainless offhand for "progressive thing I don't like" The brainless use is so common I'm afraid using either term about instantly loses my attention :) Same here. ...about America (and Israel) using progressive politics based on iden...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
Frankly, I can't decide if this goes in here or the us politics thread (because both are relevant), but I saw this video by the Kavernacle about the rise of "woke fascism" or the use of progressive identity politics in service of illiberal policies. I'm very dubious of the 'woke' and 'ide...

Well it should be remembered that just because someone is opposed to teh Empire does not mean they are good or that they are even better than Amerika.

People get sick of not having normal rounded vowels and semivowels.

Re: Pronunciation of Standard English in America (1919)
On that note, I assume that I'm not odd in having a very tenuous unstressed /i/ in many unstressed C_V positions that in careful speech is pronounced as a full vowel but which readily becomes [j] or even disappears in everyday speech. (I also have a tenuous unstressed /u/ in some unstressed C_V such...

Re: Pronunciation of Standard English in America (1919)
I was today years old when I realized that for me, I think I approach* [-ʃɪ-] in “associate” the noun and [-sɪ-] in “associate” the verb (plus a reduced vowel in the ultima of the former whilst it’s full in the latter). * I’m not 100% sure what is going on but I perceive some sort of nontrivial dif...

Re: A scratchpad
Existential copula: The existential copula is ga , which is an intransitive verb that is special because it is not marked for 3rd person singular arguments regardless of animacy. Relative clauses: Relative clauses are placed directly after the qualified NP, and for core arguments rely a gap strategy...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
Of course, I use ergative and accusative in non-standard fashions to refer to marked arguments of intransitive verbs in a fluid-S arrangement along with antipassive and passive verbs, where agentive S is direct for animates and ergative for inanimates and patientive S is accusative for animates and ...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
I personally, as you can see from my currently-unnamed new language (but I have used similar schemes in other languages as well), like to have three cases, a direct case, an ergative case (even though I often call it an agentive case), and an accusative case (even though I often call it a patientive...

Re: Conlang Random Thread
What's that in referrence to? If you define it as ‘verb + object’, you’re forced to conclude that VSO languages don’t have predicates — and therefore their clauses don’t have any head at all! ‘Head’ may be an ill-defined term, but to me, that’s going a bit too far. I.e. the idea that objects separa...

Re: A scratchpad
One thing to note, is that in addition to being fluid-S, this language uses the ergative with inanimate subjects of antipassive verbs and the accusative with animate subjects of passive verbs.
