Bernie Sanders delivered some of his most candid remarks on religion at the CNN Democratic Presidential Town Hall on Wednesday evening. Asked at the Derry, New Hampshire, forum how he’d reach out to religious voters, Bernie Sanders indicated that his public and spiritual lives were deeply intertwined.

Annnnddd changing my Instagram back to private because I thought maybe now I was finally free of my stalkerish ex after so many years of no contact, but no. He accidentally liked one of my pictures, alerting me to the fact that he's still looking me up. I just want to be free of him.

Ja Rule Talks About 15-Year-Old Son’s Fear of Police

White supremacy has been systematized and institutionalized and one of it’s byproducts is in how the justice system works here in America; from the top all the way down (meaning from how the laws were designed, written and implemented all the way down to the the police in the communities and how they are enforced) there is an inherent bias against people of color and the darker the color of said people, the worse they are subjugated and treated as a whole. Of course there are always exceptions to the norm, but the fact of the matter is here in America, the norm is that in their eyes (the police) if you are of color then you are presumed guilty regardless if you are innocent or not.This is clearly seen and manifested in day to day life across the country and current documentation of it can be found on any news site any given day. #Hate it!

a whole lot of black people grew up thinking that if we “made it” we wouldn’t have to worry about racism anymore.

So you know what I don’t get? Why people repeat words. (x)

[hyperboreanhapocanthosaurus]

Grammar time: it’s called “contrastive reduplication,” and it’s a form of intensification that is relatively common. Finnish does a very similar thing, and others use near-reduplication (rhyme-based) to intensify, like Hungarian (pici ‘tiny’, ici-pici ‘very tiny’).

Even the typologically-distant group of Bantu languages utilize reduplication in a strikingly similar fashion with nouns: Kinande oku-gulu ‘leg’, oku-gulu-gulu ‘a REAL leg’ (Downing 2001, includes more with verbal reduplication as well).

I suppose the difficult aspect of English reduplication is not through this particular type, but the fact that it utilizes many other types of reduplication: baby talk (choo-choo, no-no), rhyming (teeny-weeny, super-duper), and the ever-famous “shm” reduplication: fancy-schmancy (a way of denying the claim that something is fancy).

screams my professor was trying to find an example of reduplication so the next class he came back and said “I FOUND REDUPLICATION IN ENGLISH” and then he said “Milk milk” and everyone was just “what?” and he said “you know when you go to a coffee shop and they ask if you want soy milk and you say ‘no i want milk milk’” and everyone just had this collective sigh of understanding.

Another name for this particular construction is contrastive focus reduplication, and there’s a famous linguistics paper about it which is commonly known as the Salad Salad Paper. You know, because if you want to make it clear that you’re not talking about pasta salad or potato salad, you might call it “salad salad”. The repetition indicates that you’re intending the most prototypical meaning of the word, like green salad or cow’s milk, even though other things can be considered types of salad or milk.
