The MuFFiN

Salut! Hola! مرحبا! My name is Melissa; I'm a recent university graduate in love with languages, anime (especially Yu-Gi-Oh), coffee and tea, video games (especially Assassin's Creed), travel, but most of all BOOKS! I'm a native English speaker, have learned French as a second language, and am in the process of learning Arabic and Spanish. This blog is a mesh of all these things, I hope you enjoy it! :)

Tumblr Teacher’s Amazon Classroom Wish Lists 2018-2019

Hello Wonderful Tumblrites,

Every year, teachers spend on average $500 on their classroom of their own money.   I know many teachers who spend considerably more.   Each year, I request links to wish lists from the teachers on Tumblr to share; we call it Teachmas.  It is wonderful to have support from all over as we prepare for the new school year.  Please consider purchasing an item, if money is tight, reblogs also help!   Thank you so much!

Reciprocal constructions

“They love each other” “They are singing to one another” “each other” and “one another” are pronominal markers in English for a reciprocal construction.

Some languages, like Mayan and Otomi languages, Sango and Burmese, don’t mark these at all, requiring a full phrase to explain the reciprocity.

Some languages, like Cantonese, Malay, Sherpa, reduplicate the verb.

In many languages it’s the same as the reflexive.

In most European languages there’s a mixed type, same as reflexive and another optional pronominal marker as in Portuguese “eles amam-se” and “eles cantam um para o outro”.

Verb affixes occur widespread in Niger-Congo, Turkic, Afro-Asiatic, Pama-Nyungan language families. Most often is a suffix.

An adverb, like “mutually” is the norm in East Asian languages like Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Khmer.

A particle is the rarer type, used in Navajo and some Australian languages.

If you know the unmarked languages in white please let me know in the commens!
