Re: AI in conlanging - present and future
To me LLM's are limited for all the reasons people have already stated here. LLM's can only produce content as good as the human-generated content it is trained on, and will get worse once they start getting fed content generated by AI in the first place.

Re: Syntax random
We didn’t see [only the Louvre]. ⇒ We only didn’t see the Louvre. Yet, the first sentence exists in surface structure with a completely different meaning! For you, that meaning is unambiguously different; for me it’s ambiguous, and can be the same under highly marked circumstances. But, apparently,...

Re: Linguistic Miscellany Thread
Exactly. And in this case there are no convenient historical events that we can firmly peg a transition in our periodization to (such as how 1066 is used as a demarcation between Old and Middle English). Nitpick: The Old to Middle transition is normally dated to 1200, for which the historical peg w...

Re: The Great Proto-Indo-European Thread's Sequel
Dunno if this has been discussed already here, but PIE *Hebl- 'apple' may not be a loanword at all, and instead just be a metastethised form of *meHlom. Can't track down the paper from academia.edu I originally read that in, but the gist is that an intermediate form *Heml- underwent ml → bl. Also, ...

There's been (often masked) Zionists actively attacking encampments here in the US, as Emily states.

Re: Linguistic Miscellany Thread
Right, begining of the Old English period , not language. It's not like the ol' Angles went to bed one night speaking Proto-Germanic and woke up the next morning speaking Old English. "English", "Old English" and "Proto-Germanic" are all labels we arbitrarily tack on a...

I implemented what I thought were continuations for zeptoscript... but it turns out they are not. Reason being that my "continuations" freeze the state of the stacks* in time, for it to be restored verbatim any number of times, but proper continuations apparently allow the stack(s) to be m...
