HI! I just spent several hours working on my linguistics take-home final (which, OMG YOU GUYS, they picked some SEXY SEXY MORPHOLOGY with the language we have to analyze, you don't even know [this is not being sarcastic, I am really am this geeky. In my Old English class on Friday, my professor brought in an 8th century Anglo-Saxon throwing spearhead and we got to go up and touch it after class and I could barely breathe because OMG OLD STUFF IN MY HANDS, and also that class was fun because we spent like ten minutes parsing the exact grammar of the Anglo-Saxon dirty riddle we had earlier in the week, and the professor was all "ah, yes. this is what I call scholarship {the dirty riddle in question had to do with something wondrous that hangs by man's thigh, and it's stiff and hard and has good firmness, and when man raises his clothes above his knee, he wants to put the head of his hanging thing into the familiar hole right in front of him and fill it. Which of course the answer is a KEY which I know was JUST WHAT YOU WERE THINKING.}])

I lost myself in parentheses up there. My point was, I'm taking a break from my homework for a few hours to cook, and also to post picspam.

These two screencaps from Call of the Wild are officially subtitled "Fraser Has BOTH his boyfriends in the SAME ROOM. Yay!!!!">





OH FRASER I <3333333 YOU. I PROMISE I WILL GET BACK TO WRITING PORN ABOUT YOU ONE DAY! Maybe even kinky threesome porn! You know, if you're good.

I surfed by and read this and was delighted beyond measure. I know what you mean about Old Stuff, and the riddle made me giggle my head off. :)

Dirty riddles and grammar are two awesome things that are even awesomer together! And the old stuff is just the icing on the cake!

OMG the key riddle! I remember that one! Have you done the one about the onion? Or the one about dough? They're both really phallic, too.

Man, I miss OE. *sniff*

And morphology is always sexy. Mmm.

Oh, man, she told us all about the bread dough, but I don't know the onion one at all! (We also looked at two non-dirty riddles in class, but that's less fun.)

Morphology is always sexy, but this data set is even more sexy than usually. There's prefixes and suffixes and reduplication and infixes, and there's this whole thing where intransitive verbs and verbs where the object has an indefinite marker take one classes of morphemes, and verbs where they're acting on definite thing takes an entirely different class. It is pretty much AWESOME.

OMG, I know the key one, too. I don't have the book with me, but once I get home for xmas, I shall have to look for it, and the other dirty ones. My mother rocks, for letting us read those things in, like, 6th grade.

Oh, the onion one is great-- something like, there's a thing that's smooth on top and hairy at the base, and if a young woman isn't careful how she handles it, it'll make her eye wet.

What language is that morphology data set from?

The professor just gives it to us as "Language X" on the assignment, but googling it looks like it might be Ilocano -- it's definitely Austronesian.
