i have managed to apply to three different remote internships (wish me luck!), and the fact that it snowed the other day in the month of MAY is CRAZY - climate change deniers… y’all still breathing?

A lot of you have been asking me what’s on my iPad and how I use my iPad for medical school and studying in general. So, I made a YouTube video answering these questions!! Editing and filming was a lot of fun, so I might just start uploading videos now! Click here to check it out!

“we often have to explain to young people why study is useful. it’s pointless telling them that it’s for the sake of knowledge, if they don’t care about knowledge. nor is there any point in telling them that an educated person gets through life better than an ignoramus, because they can always point to some genius who, from their standpoint, leads a wretched life. and so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. it introduces us to parents other than our biological ones. it allows us to live longer, because we don’t just remember our own life, but also those of others. it creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to the present day. and all this is very beautiful.” —umberto eco

2020.03.21 | Long time no see, everyone!

First year of high school has been an amazing 7 months roller coaster and I haven't been having the time to be here, but it's term break and I'm finally picking up French to stay productive!

morning light and online coding class 🌞

it’s electives week right now, and i was scared to get this coding class digitally since the subject is very tricky, but there’s only 7 of us and it’s actually very chill!

stay safe everyone X

One of my favorite MA course was one where we analyzed "wordhood" of morphemes in different languages. I loved the realization that such a fundamental concept is so hard to define. How many words do we see in the sentence "That's a seatbelt"? And which criteria do we use to decide that?

[blacklinguist]

!

you can’t even boil it down to ‘x that signifies y’, because in an (english) instance such as “it is raining” ... what does ‘it’ signify? it’s void... so there are ‘filler’ and ‘content’ words, but are they just sounds stuck together? i guess so!

which is why all the papers i’ve ever read usually say ‘we’re defining a word as...’ lol

[ladydoesfieldwork]

Yesterday during breakfast, my significant other asked me how linguists define “a word”, and ended up rather surprised that there is no universally agreed upon definition (nor does it make sense to have one, IMHO).

Defining wordhood depends on a) the language you’re talking about (so it makes sense individual authors may start their papers with a definition), and b) whether you’re talking about a semantic, morphological, or phonological word. I recently read a book that even made an attempt to define an orthographic word.

What is a phonological word, you may ask? Some languages have suprasegmentals (tone, stress, key) which operate on the level of a word. In these languages, a phonological word may include multiple nouns or verbs in complex constructions, as well as affixes, particles or auxiliaries that follow or precede them.

[blacklinguist]

orthographic word meaning the criteria for graphemes that constitute a ‘word’?

could agglutinative words and phonological words go hand in hand depending on the complexity? i think about my classmate talking about longer turkish words and how they would correspond to a sentence in english.

[parksanddeserts]

Yesss! Someone please expand because I am definitely not an expert on Turkish, but if i remember correctly Turkish vowel harmony is one of the phonological processes that has the word as its domain. I will have to look up some examples, but affixes also harmonize with the root. So affixes are definitely not their own phonological word but form one together with the root.

[esoanem]

Not sure about Turkish, but, whilst affixes harmonise with roots in Finnish, components within compounds don't harmonise meaning that, phonologically, compounds wouldn't count as a single word

[parksanddeserts]

That is not too weird! I remember in the languages that we analyzed as a group compounds were generally two phonological words too, so the morphological and phonological word do not always need to overlap.

sometimes I dont understand why the 는 것 principle is used, can you help?? I have this sentence: 학사 학위를 하는 것과 석사 학위를 하는 것은 거의 똑같아요 - why isnt it simply written as 학사 학위와 석사 학위는???

는 것 is used when you want to turn a verb into a noun! the difference here would be the same as saying “a bachelor degree and a master degree are the same” vs saying “doing a bachelor degree is the same as doing a masters degree”. see the difference?

here are more examples of the 는 것 principle in use:

• 제 생각에는 공부하는 게 재미있어요 in my opinion, studying is fun (here, the act of studying has been turned into a noun)

• 저는 먹고 있는 음식은 맛없어요 the food i am eating is not tasty
