The concepts in a society also shape the expression in the language ... or is it the other way around? Think of a society that has no concept of subjugation. Which of these sentences would fit that society? 1. "I rode the horse across the stream." 2. "The horse and I crossed the stream together."
@sergiosanchez79352 жыл бұрын
Possibly the first one as it seems clear to me that when one rides a horse the "agency of the act", so to say, belongs to the rider - as he is the one controlling the horse. The fact that their society has "no concept of subjugation" shouldn't really interfere with the fact that "riding a horse" essentially means that you, on the horse, command it to move in some direction. So saying "we moved together" would be ambiguous and transmit incomplete information as it is not specifying that you are actually riding the horse (it could mean for example that you found a friendly horse and you both went for a walk, using your own feet). And if you consider that their society is simply unable to understand subjugation to the point where they aren't able to ride horses or express that someone is riding a horse, then I guess there aren't many good arguments one can make about one of the sentences over the other.

Hi! I am an Indian and I speak 3 languages: Hindi, English and Bengali. I can also understqnd Korean to some extent, thanks to my love for Korean cinema. English and Hindi are vastly different and that makes us really tough adapters in the game of linguistics, given both Hindi and English are India's official languages. And over time I have come to realize how Korean is very close to Indian language structure. Its really fun to know new languages. I wish to someday make a small language of my own. But seeing you and your mammoth job, now it seems more like a wishful thought.

If you really want to study how languages are created, find sets of twins or triplets, etc. that are just beginning to talk. My twins took up a language of their own, as 'multiples' are known to do, commonly called twin talk. Trust me, they knew exactly what they were saying & their language took off at twice the speed compared to talking to others. I quickly put them into a pre-preschool, so their twin talk didn't hamper their actual language skills further. Otherwise, they'd be known all their life as Bunga & Wahgee :)

That's not really the point of this video: we are talking about artificial language creation, not child language acquisition (which would probably be more in the ballpark of a behavioral linguist or neurolinguist specialized in infant development). I can be just as interesting a topic - and one that can provide clues as to how languages emerge and evolve, which is fairly important for linguists of all stripes - but there's no need to choose one over the other. Knowledge doesn't take up space (or so my language says) :)

@Marcelina Balaguer actually there is no 'night' or 'knight' King in the books, so get back in your box and hush down. Making out like there is just one true voice to speak for everyone. Either take the joke or move on. Even come back with a funny retort, but to resort to spell checking and then making a wrong assumption makes you look like a triggered plum. Or should I say peach. You know, like Renly's peach. The one that didn't make it onto the show. But please continue with your rant about how little I know, and how you are GRRM's official spokesperson...
