Text of the page (random words):
areribs is what i will now label an attributive compound in which some characteristic that s metaphorically associated with n1 is attributed to n2 only a few ns have been conventionalized for use in attributive compounds baby for attributing relative smallness in baby back ribs or immaturity in baby peas giant and monster gigantic huge for attributing relative great size in giant marigold and monster truck killer exceptional impressive for attributing excellence in killer abs and killer idea since only a few ns have been conventionalized in this way attributive compounds are not very common but there s another compound type that s fairly common and superficially resembles attributives what i ll call the predicative type conveying n2 that s a n1 baby prodigy baby who s a prodigy killer clown clown that s a killer cowboy poet poet who s a cowboy the compound killer clown is then ambiguous as between attributive and predicative someone who s really good as a clown vs a clown that kills more posted in ambiguity grammatical categories linguistics in the comics metaphor semantics of compounds leave a comment love in bloom february 27 2024 valentine s day comes with complex emotions for me on the one hand it s my daughter s birthday so it s filled with warm feelings stretching back to the boston lying in hospital many years ago on the other hand it s a celebration of romantic love which has been sadly absent from my life since the last century what s endured instead are loving friendships something different but marvelous in their own way though because of the complexities of my life they re maintained almost entirely electronically while i get through my days in solitude with only my plants for company indoors a big spathyphyllum all glossy leaves and white arum flowers and two waxed amaryllis bulbs a recent present from a friend one with white flowers one with bicolor flowers white striped with red now coming to an end of their flowering outdoors a winter riot of cymbidium orchids in many colors the first one bright yellow anomalously came into bloom in november thanks to some freakish fall weather the others pretty much covering the spectrum from brownish red through peach orange and yellow to yellowish white began to flower as normal in january and are still coming into bloom which will last until the hot dry weather of june and then holland bulb farms in michigan sent me a sale notice valentine s day was over and they still had a stock of their my valentine waxed amaryllis collections 3 red cultivars hugs and kisses be my valentine and love struck picasso so they were clearing them out at roughly 1 3 off they re living plants and you can store them for a while but it s a long time till the next valentine s day waxed amaryllis bulbs are little miracles of botanical technology so they aren t cheap even at 1 3 off but i so loved having the gorgeous flowers on my worktable to keep me company that i stretched my budget to give myself a valentine s day present new frontiers in self love i guess yes it s frivolous and extravagant the bulbs arrived yesterday they re now in a spot in my kitchen that s warm and gets strong indirect sunlight so that they can begin springing into life there and then move to my worktable where the light is weaker something i hadn t expected is that their wax coatings are not just golden like my previous two bulbs but are fancifully colored with a different pattern for each cultivar delightful more posted in holidays language and plants my life 1 comment louis fratino

in which she was told that her candidate unvoicing was not a word well not a word acceptable in the game her hedged response unvoicing is a word well maybe cw is among other things a linguist and

spicer s california summers february 24 2024 yesterday in my posting poet to poet i gave you extracts from a billy collins poem on the poet jack spicer and promised a posting on the poets spicer and frank o hara i ve posted a good bit of o hara on this blog over the years but spicer has gone unsampled looking ahead to the next posting spicer and o hara share four notable things beyond their being extraordinary poets they were almost exact contemporaries and at one point in their lives went out drinking and dancing together both their lives were cut off early at the age of 40 spicer drank himself to death o hara was killed in a freak accident they were both openly defiantly gay in the 1940s to 1960s yet and they both pursued their craft doggedly compulsively as if it was something they couldn t not do their poetry came to me together through the same route my first male lover and it was a great gift but the two men could hardly have been less similar o hara was ebullient gregarious self assured spicer was unsure of himself inclined to depression a natural loner who also however craved social connections of many kinds o hara s poetry is famously spontaneous improvised in the moment while many of spicer s poems were reworked and elaborated over time though he also longed for poetry that would just come to him through the air like radio waves yes a bundle of contradictions spicer s life history is so restless complex and fascinating that i m posting most of the wikipedia article on him below after that i offer you just one fairly long poem psychoanalysis an elegy from the late 1940s framed as a session between a maximally laconic therapist and a patient who s spinning out a shimmering sensuous vision of california summers that just might never end more posted in

in a state of body and mind unlike anything i ve previously reported on and opening up a lot of questions about the many experiential states that are depressive in one sense or another i ve been sleeping a lot 10 hours at night the last two nights plus a couple of hours napping during the day but it s been absolutely delicious sleep in 2 hour chunks between my nighttime whizzes instead of my long standard 1 hour schedule with astoundingly pleasant dreams one so seductive that i went back into it while i was standing by my bed happily whizzing into a urinal more posted in my life leave a comment the discouragements of old age february 21 2024 as regular readers will have noticed things have not been good for me in recent days physically just hanging on barely getting through the days spirits so low i m almost frozen in discouragement many things have no doubt contributed to the fix i m in but one part of the story has to do with the late career recognitions that sum up the accomplishments of the most significant academics publication of their collected works a festschrift from colleagues and students celebrating the influence of their works honorary degrees and prizes or awards i travel in circles where such recognitions are common but never expected to get them myself i have genuine talents with teaching and research ranging over a huge array of topics and i can pull off an engaging style of presentation but my achievements are modest i ve had plenty of career recognitions a university professorship at ohio state election to the american academy of arts and sciences the presidency of my learned society the linguistic society of america lsa the sapir professorship at an lsa linguistic institute an assortment of grants and fellowships but these are as a
