First day of lessons for this academic year – it's been a tiring day, but I'm really glad to be back! This semester will mostly be focused on Russian, save for one hour of English Linguistics a week, focusing on Pragmatics. I'm also particularly happy with how my notes are turning out – I'm using an old 2020 planner flipped upside down, as the paper is too good to just throw away.

100 Days of Productivity (Fall 2022′s Version)

September 25, 2022 - 22/100

This weekend I:

Did some readings for typology

Submitted a discussion post and response for typology

Wrote a discussion post for psycholinguistics

Practiced Spanish

Watched the movie The Wild Child and took a quiz on it

Did some sociolinguistics readings

Finished a group worksheet for sociolinguistics

Learned how to do my hair with hairsticks :)

I got to go home for the weekend! It was so nice to get to see my parents and the dogs and the kitten and everything. I really needed a calm weekend away from my dorm after being sick all week. I’m feeling better overall, but I still have a bad cough and I’m a little worried it’s turning into bronchitis again (I’ve had it twice). On a related note, since I wasn’t feeling well I had a lot of catch up work to do this weekend, but I think I was able to get everything done that I needed to

Oh! And an update for grad school applications: one of my professors turned in their letter of recommendation, so all I need is one more and I can submit another application :)

your local milo thatch kinnie is linguistposting again

this is probably going to get no notes because it's just a couple conlang thoughts and it's Long but i am still dropping at the internet's disappointed feet like a cat with a dead mouse. maybe i will get a linguistics friend out of it; anyway here you go ya nerds

You can't make a fully fleshed-out, realistic, plausible conlang. (Well, you can, but you have to make an entire planet first.)

First off, no language is truly "pure" and uninfluenced. English wouldn't be English without the influences from French and Latin on top of its Germanic core; your "finished" conlang is too unadulterated to be real. It's a baby language at the beginning of its journey. A realistic conlang requires the creation of several other conlangs to facilitate word borrowing and influence from other languages.

And that's just the beginning! There has to be history too!

Language is influenced by so many things--culture, other languages, historical events--that in a sense, the creation of a perfectly realistic conlang requires the building of a whole world, with multiple fictional societies, languages, and a full global history. You'd have to start from the very beginning with what human historians don't even understand about ourselves: how language got invented in the first place. World building to the Absolute Max.

Wow, that's a lot of work. Someone tell the forever DMs about it. Or maybe don't. That would be bad for their already-godawful sleep schedules. On second thought, go tell your local forever DM to get some sleep. Tell them Thorne the linguistics student from the internet cares about their well-being. Give them a mug of tea from me.

I study linguistics and the fuckers saying they/them pronouns are hard because they're meant to be plural not singular? GUESS THE FUCK WHAT, THE FACT WE DON'T HAVE NEUTOR PRONOUNS IN THE SINGULAR IS SOMETHING THAT'S WEIRD ALREADY. How tf are you defending they/them as a plural pronouns and yet denying that it's being used this way as a placeholder? and that's how languages work, they constantly evolve and change and no one randomly came up all the rules or english in a day, they're all general trends we noticed through the study of this language throughout CENTURIES of it's use and it's changing faster than every but that didn't mean it wasn't changing before !!

One of My Friends Said That She Has No Respect for English Because of Colonialism

One of my friends said that she has no respect for English because of colonialism but she still uses English just for practical reason...this is hilarious. If you have no respect for English just because of colonialism why you still use English?

English may have spread throughout the world because of colonialism and that is natural in the development of a language. However, the English we know today is not because of colonialism, there are many factors that influence it, especially the internet.

My Goals & What I’ve Learned

One job I would like to have after graduation is teaching English abroad. The world is just a big place, and to only be defined to the cultural aspects of the English-speaking world. Traveling and seeing the world is something I have always wanted to do in my life. I am currently doing a dual-major in Linguistics and Spanish, with two concentrations in French and Japanese. With these languages under my belt, I am able to open many doors in the teaching profession, the translating/interpreting job field; there is an endless array of possibilities. 

One of the most important concepts that I have learned in this course to help me with my future career is, in Module 1, is Assumption 4: Interpersonal Communication is an interdependent process. To be able to fully understand and be able to help others understand, you need to understand that communicating is not just a one person job. If a teacher wants to be a good teacher, they need to talk with the students and understand what helps them and what doesn’t. Every year, students change and teaching styles change as we continue to evolve. Students ask questions, the teacher answers them. As a teacher, the main goal should always be to make sure that your students understand the material that is being taught, and by understanding communications tactics and how to properly communicate with others can only breed success. 

From Module 3, I will talking about one of the topics I had issues with understanding, as I listed back a few months ago in my discussion question; I don’t believe I have ever been able to come to fully understand what is cognitive schemata and cognitive complexity; but from what I have been able to understand from the lectures, I believe it could be perhaps one of the most important concepts to understand as a teacher. From my Discussion Question, I proposed the question, “From Lecture 3.2, I am really struggling to understand Cognitive Schemata. The lecture says it is the human ability to access knowledge. Is it really as simple as that? If it is, is cognitive schemata just my ability to access the internet to search for information, ask a professor questions? Or am I way off?”. There are no hidden messages in the lecture. It is simply the truth in how it is read. If Cognitive Schemata is based on the human’s ability to access knowledge, one has to begin to understand the different ways of life, different cultures, and that humans are extremely diverse creatures. In a third-world country, it can be significantly harder for children, and lower-class individuals, to obtain a high-quality education. This could easily tie into cognitive schemata; these are forces that are outside of one’s control, but they are actual problems. I have friends from around the world; in many of these countries, my friends do not have native language teachers. Here, I have had Mexican Spanish teachers, Colombian Spanish teachers; a whole mix and wide array; however, my friends overseas, a lot of them have never even talked with a native speaker! How crazy is that to think about? Another way to interpret this concept is that not every human has the same capacity of knowledge as another. What I mean by this is, take a look at our university. We have over 50+ majors, and over 20,000 students who study a wide variety of topics and subjects daily. As humans, we find what we are good at, what we love, and we make it work. Tying this into the idea of cognitive schemata, how this mindset has been defined; if you are able to understand this as a teacher, you are able better to understand your students and be able to help them in tailored ways to their own abilities and cognitive schemata. How could you say you couldn’t? It is a very basic definition that continues to be expanded on with these ideas. Next, from Module 3, I will have to talk about cognitive complexity. In these lectures (3.2) themselves, it even states that “the examples given are arbitrary and that every person’s schemata are unique.” As a teacher, this is SO important to understand. Not everyone can process the same information as everyone else; my own experience is my knowledge in the foreign language field. It comes naturally to me; whereas to others, they can spend hours studying and will not be able to grasp the concept. I could say I have a high cognitive schemata (in foreign languages, at least). Cognitive Complexity is not universal; it has the tendency to make itself specific towards a certain issue and it is not related with one’s intelligence. Cognitive complexity helps people understand what is and isn’t appropriate in social situations; through contextual visualization; meanwhile, it also helps and ties into the examples of understanding different life perspectives as well as one’s own ability to adapt. This can tie into all of the above examples on why it is important to understand this as a teacher; you are teaching a subject. It is education and by understanding that everyone owns learning capabilities and each person is different based on how they were raised, in which environment they were raised. Languages themselves tend to form themselves and are more than just a means of communication; they represent culture and even up until a whole society. Language defines people and who we are and what we like. By understanding these differences are extremely prevalent abroad, you can reduce your culture shock and be even a better teacher by adapting better to your environment through cognitive complexity. (You did your research and know what to expect.) 

Conflict Styles (Must discuss/compare at least two of the styles discussed in the chapter

Another important thing to understand, from Module 7, are conflict styles. Right now, I am 20 years old. I am on set to graduate when I turn 21. How long will I teach? Who knows? But even just as I have lived through these twenty years already, I have experienced students who don’t know how to behave in a classroom, students who are disrespectful; my own peers. Of course, this has always depended on the teacher and if they tolerated it. I think a teacher who would be able to understand conflict styles could be a great teacher. Not everyone is gonna like you, even students will hate you simply because you are a teacher. By understanding conflict styles, you are able to diffuse a situation and get to the route of the issue before it continues to affect your class. By tackling the conflict head-on, I believe that is the best way; because there WILL be conflicts in a classroom, no matter how hard you try to avoid them. time to take a look a the lecturers why did i do everything last minute this sesmeste rjklmngklsdnasjklm. There are a few ways using the conflict styles that we discussed in the lectures that I could go about handling a trouble classroom or a troubling student. I believe the worst way to confront any of this behavior is avoidance. By avoiding issues, they only manifest themselves and continue to grow. I believe the best way to handle a troublesome situation would be through compromise or collaboration. By doing this, reflecting back on my student days because I was a student, it was stressful because it always felt like the teacher never listened to us or asked for our feedback. I think when a teacher engages and actually wants to help the students. Say, if we finish all this work in class today, I won’t give us homework for tonight. I think through simple compromises like these, or even collaboration, such as, how long should our homework be? It helps the student feel appreciated and that their voice was heard.

The directional "下/上/出/去/来" puzzle guide

I for one still confuse the usage of 出来 and 出去 and other similar structures so here's a guide to slightly depuzzle this puzzle.

上去 (Shàngqù): To go up and away from the speaker

下去 (Xiàqù): To go down and away from the speaker

出去 (Chūqù): To go out and away from the speaker

出来 (Chūlái): To go out and towards the speaker

上来 (Shànglái): To go up and towards the speaker

下来 (Xiàlái): To go down and towards the speaker

过来 (Guòlái): To ask someone to come over to the speaker

过去 (Guòqù): This one is tricky as it can have a few meanings so here are some random examples.

Movement away from the speaker e.g. 我来这家公司工作已经过去五年了= I have been working in this company for the past five years

Movement in time during the past e.g. 过去的年份里，公园里有很多树和花= In the past years, there were many trees and flowers in the park

Here's an illustration I made (it's been a while lol) to make it less (?) confusing：

hey real quick if youre a studyblr or even just a person in academia and 

🌟 are neurodivergent and/or struggle with mental or physical health problems that impede on your academic performance

🌟 are a first gen student or otherwise feel a bit lost navigating this world compared to your peers who might have a bit more uh,, nepo baby energy

🌟 really hate the corrupt and elitist parts of academia but also love your studies and your dreams too much to give up on it

🌟 genuinely want to better the world with your education not just dangle it over people as part of a god complex or use it to help gatekeep knowledge

🌟 just generally kinda feel like academia wasnt really built for you but you are determined to make it so that it is, if not for yourself then for future generations at the very least

interact with this would you? you dont even need to follow if you arent a studyblr or dont want that on your dash, i just feel chronically alone out here sometimes and i could use the reminder that i am definitely not the only person feeling like this and not the only one fighting this fight. if this post only gets one note thats good enough for me lol

I packed myself lunch for school today and I feel like such a six year old. Like omg yay I have my pb&j and my goldfish and my applesauce, I can't wait to go to class and learn about word sounds!

#that is the exact meal i packed #and im going to my phonology class. which is about word sounds #what is the difference between a grad student in linguistics and a first grader in a phonics class

It’s very kind of people I speak other languages with to assume that my slow comprehension and endless requests for repetition are as a result of us not speaking my first language, when in reality, my auditory processing is just complete shit.
