Is UP Even UP Anymore?

Written by

From: aprillorier.blogspot.com

I'm hearing the word UP a lot these days, especially in the grocery store. Yo! What's UP? (or wassup?) Better straighten UP before I jack you UP. There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.' I'm wondering if UP is even UP anymore? It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for ... Read Full Story

How to use word association to master Japanese in your sleep!

Written by

brettkun on

From: jappermon.blogspot.com

How to Use Word Association to Master Japanese A good goal when learning another language is to try to remember words so that you won’t ever forget them. That last sentence contains quite a lofty goal. You make absurd associations that are meaningful to you and in this way by making absurd associations between something that reminds you of the meaning of the word in Japanese but sounds like something you can relate to in English. The more absurd the associations, the less likely you are to forget them, unless you forget the association related to the words you are memorizing. Take the following ... Read Full Story

The Tower of Babel account affirmed by linguistics...

Secular linguists are puzzled by the existence of twenty or so language families in the world today. The languages within each family (and the people that speak them) have been shown to be genetically related, but few genetic links have been observed between families. This is a problem for secular linguists. If, as they believe, man evolved from an ape-like ancestor, man would at some point have gained the ability to speak. This process of...

Stæfcræft.

Ben Slade, a grad student in linguistics, has started a blog, Stæfcræft & Vyākaraṇa (linking Old English and Sanskrit words for 'linguistics,' or as close as those languages get to the concept), and it's a gem. His last two posts are about the "likkle law" of Jamaican Creole English and the etymology of khukuri (a traditional Nepalese knife). I look forward to his future investigations.
