"The thing is...I mean, there's times when you look at the universe and you think, 'What about me?' and you can just hear the universe replying, 'Well, what about you?'"

Unity appeared to consider this.

"Well, what about you?" she said.

Susan sighed. "Exactly." She sighed again. "You can't think about just one person while you're saving the world. You have to be a cold, calculating bastard."

"That sounded as if you were quoting somebody," said Unity. "Who said that?"

"Some total idiot," said Susan.

Lingthusiasm Episode 91: Scoping out the scope of scope

When you order a kebab and they ask you if you want everything on it, you might say yes. But you'd probably still be surprised if it came with say, chocolate, let alone a bicycle...even though chocolate and bicycles are technically part of "everything". That's because words like "everything" and "all" really mean something more like "everything typical in this situation". Or in linguistic terms, we say that their scope is ambiguous without context.

In this episode, your hosts Lauren Gawne and Gretchen McCulloch get enthusiastic about how we can think about ambiguity of meaning in terms of scope. We talk about how humour often relies on scope ambiguity, such as a cake with "Happy Birthday in red text" written on it (quotation scope ambiguity) and the viral bench plaque "In Memory of Nicole Campbell, who never saw a dog and didn't smile" (negation scope ambiguity). We also talk about how linguists collect fun examples of ambiguity going about their everyday lives, how gesture and intonation allow us to disambiguate most of the time, and using several scopes in one sentence for double plus ambiguity fun.

Read the transcript here.

Announcements:

In this month’s bonus episode we get enthusiastic about the forms that our thoughts take inside our heads! We talk about an academic paper from 2008 called "The phenomena of inner experience", and how their results differ from the 2023 Lingthusiasm listener survey questions on your mental pictures and inner voices. We also talk about more unnerving methodologies, like temporarily paralyzing people and then scanning their brains to see if the inner voice sections still light up (they do!).

The opening and closing bits of Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania did more to show Scott and Hope's relationship and the Lang-van Dyne-Pym family dynamics than any other Marvel movie did.

I had another Dungeon Meshi style dream but this one involved Quickscope!! She was a half-elf/half-dwarf and her cybernetic arms and legs were now metal gauntlets and grieves. She was hunting the mage that cursed her body.

Scope ran into a small adventuring group that had a kobold, half-foot, and tallman. She argued a lot with the half-foot a bit but near the end when she left the group, the camera quickly cut to Quickscope working on a hard mechanism to trip every trap. She jumped from ledge to ledge, showing off her dexterity as she dodged each spike popping out. Scope did this purely to make the item the party was searching for easier to obtain. She was worried it would kill them, so she helped out in her own way because she didn't want them to die lmao

#quickscope #scope #dungeon meshi vibes #dungeon meshi au #she pulled off one of her arms to prove it actually was her arm just now a metal gauntlet #the hand moves while she held it with her other hand and spooked the kobold lol #“so are you a corpse retriever or something?” “no I'm an assassin” “...” “don't worry not for you." #she was taller than the average dwarf due to her elf blood #the cutest big curved elf ears poking out
