  4. The Small Hat On Big Head, Mikuláš Medek, 1960

    love the title. before I found the title I saw it as an experience of structure, maybe the way they feel about the way their world is put together. Then I found the title and it's the same but maybe it's the way they themselves are put together. Lots of crossed lines, crossed wires, messy intersections, instability, love it

  10. @sanlaville11 I should have used future perfect tense? The world “would have been” perfect? Tbh, Mary’s first born probably was a girl, but the patriarchy closed ranks, like they do?

    The image shows a barred window at dusk, exploring themes of confinement and mystery. The altered colors enhance the moody, urban feel, inviting viewers to reflect on what lies beyond.

  12. I'm a big proponent of "someone who..." rather than saying "someone that..."
    I know it's grammatically acceptable, I'm saying it's not just a missed opportunity, it's dumbing-down our #language and making our #communications less human. Literally.
    Calling a #person "that" demotes us to become just as boring as an #object and not worthy of distinction from same. What are your thoughts, #fediverse?

    Changing #tense could be more difficult but...

    Took me about 2 years (at a few hours a week) to manually iron out all the #exceptions, but was able to change the #gender of a 25 chapter ancient #text:

    yesu.neocities.org/

    Now i wish i'd kept a better #list of all the words and the changes made so i could possibly mecanically reproDuce the text gender #transition somehow on other texts.

    The original idea was to have a person choose the gender of the text on the fly, but changing it manually once ended up being too much for me! }

  18. It's Monday so it's time for another #MoodMusicMonday where I choose a mood and you post a song that you reminds you of that mood/feels like that mood to you!

    Today's Mood is #tense

    Remember to include the hashtag and the mood so others can see it and join in!

  19. Wife *is* sick. #LittleHuman *was* sick but seems to be better now. All of which means I that probably *will be* sick some time soon. 🤒 #tense

  20. There is no grammatical #tense in either #Cantonese or #Mandarin, but there are a whopping 39 verb suffixes in Cantonese, including 15 #aspect markers! In contrast, Mandarin has 3 aspect-marking verb suffixes. (For reference: there are 4 aspects in English, of which 3 are marked.)

    #華語#廣東話 一樣,冇 #時態 (tense),但係會用 #動詞後綴 表示 # (aspect,類似英文嘅進行式、完成式)。

    華語只有3種動詞後綴:了、著、過
    廣東話就有39種動詞後綴,包括 15 種「體」:咗、過、落(實現體)、定、緊、吓、住、實、生晒、衡晒、起上嚟、起、得、落(開始體)、開

  22. Children’s awareness of irregular verbs

    I’ve been enjoying Steven Pinker’s Words and Rules: The Ingredients of Language (1999). More technical and focused than his popular bestseller The Language Instinct, it is effectively a monograph on linguistic irregularity, examining in particular how we inflect verbs for past tense and plurality, and what the exceptions can tell us about the structure of language and our minds.

    In chapter 7, ‘Kids Say the Darnedest Things’, Pinker points out that children sometimes know that the mistakes they make are mistakes. He cites Dan Slobin and Tom Bever, psycholinguists who inserted their children’s speech errors into their own speech and recorded the results:

    TOM: Where’s Mommy?
    CHILD: Mommy goed to the store.
    TOM: Mommy goed to the store?
    CHILD: NO! (annoyed) Daddy, I say it that way, not you.

    CHILD: You readed some of it too . . . she readed all the rest.
    DAN: She read the whole thing to you, huh?
    CHILD: Nu-uh, you read some.
    DAN: Oh, that’s right, yeah, I readed the beginning of it.
    CHILD: Readed? (annoyed surprise) Read! (pronounced rĕd)
    DAN: Oh yeah, read.
    CHILD: Will you stop that, Papa?

    Pinker infers from this, and from the evidence of more controlled studies, that children know irregular forms better than we might suppose; as they progressively master these forms, their errors are ‘slip-ups in which they cannot slot an irregular form into a sentence in real time’. Adults make similar slips, though nowhere near as often.

    The main points of Words and Rules are set out in a short lecture (PDF) of the same name, while the London Review of Books has a critical review by Charles Yang.
