The EW Skinny

The Evolving Word is designed for three purposes: miscellaneous rambling (a token gesture, as there are a million sites designed for this), my creative publishing, and thoughts and news on words -- origins, differences, anomalies, etc.

Enjoy it, or not; comment, or not; but do not ignore it. Or ignore it. Whatever.

That Defining Line and Our Need to Define It
Posted on Friday, April 16 @ 10:00 PM PST by joel

While reading through this article about the extinction of language, I stumbled across another fascinating article that relates directly to language and cognition issues that I am currently studying.

I was going to write more about these, but that will be saved for later. Right now, just enjoy them for what they are.

My Blog Code: B2 d t+ k- s u-- f- i o+ x-- e- l- c-- This site is mine. All of the thoughts here are mine. If you steal anything, you are stealing from me. I really don't like people who steal from me. If I find out that this is happening, I will hunt you down and generally indicate my displeasure in various, probably non-threatening, ways. You really don't want to see that. You can syndicate our news using the file backend.php or ultramode.txt. If you don't know what this means, you probably shouldn't be reading this stuff.
