Funniest part of ADoFN is towards the beginning when Regny says she knows somebody else in the household likes Wulf (somebody else who could actually be with Wulf the way she can't) and he asks "who :)" and she refuses to tell him because she wants make a sport of watching all the signs he misses

YESS adofn moment of all time fr she’s sooo funny. she sauma eydag and vell are probably betting on when he will realise. rip regny the greatest fujoshi warrior of hróth 😔💪

thoughts on chomsky's linguistic takes? personally i am firmly noam (derogatory) on this matter

SORRY I completely forgot to reply to this 😭😭😭

I’ve only read like. one wikipedia page and a researchgate article + watched a handful of youtube videos on the matter so I’m very much Not an expert on his takes but the thing is. well. I think they’re stupid! I don’t know how to phrase it in a more nuanced way than that. universal grammar? sorry but that is literally SO ridiculous. the Thing about language, or at least the way I view it, is that it’s endlessly variable! a theory that proposes there’s a feature that all languages share, other than that infinite variation, is bound to be proven wrong!

I definitely don’t know enough about the chomsky hierarchy etc to comment on it, but there is another thing I want to mention about his approach to linguistics that I also find stupid & frustrating: namely the way it completely ignores any and all influence language & society have on each other (as the post that prompted this ask criticised lol). it’s sooo fucking ridiculous because of how entangled the two are. any analysis of language that ignores the part society plays in shaping & otherwise influencing it is short-sighted and incomplete. bc like. even the concept/definition of language as we know it wouldn’t be the same without society/politics/literally anything that’s not entirely innate. see: the whole language-dialect dichotomy

that’s obviously not (nearly) all that can be said/criticised about it all, but it’s what I feel knowledgeable enough to feel comfortable speaking about atm, and this post is getting too long already lol. it all just really boils down to “language isn’t completely innate and definitely not universal, dickwad.”
