"Lost" Languages to Be Resurrected by Computers?

"Lost" Languages to Be Resurrected by Computers?:

Using no more computing power than that of a high-end laptop, the new program compared symbol and word frequencies and patterns in Ugaritic with those of a known language, in this case, the closely related Hebrew.

Stream of Consciousness: Scots dialect 101:

Just for fun, I thought I’d let you lovely people in on a few of the gems(?) of the Scots lingo. I find it as amusing a language to listen to/read as I’m sure most outsiders do (and I’m a native…). I would stress at this point that not everyone here speaks in the manner which I am about to…

The language of a marriage - The Boston Globe

Sat, 10 Jul 2010 08:10:27 -0400

The language of a marriage - The Boston Globe:

There’s a clichéd idea that what makes people stay in love is things like candlelight and flowers and sexy glances across crowded rooms. All that is lovely, and it helps. But so does our nerdy private language. The language of marriage is personal. It doesn’t translate, and it’s not transferable. Nobody reading this column is going to start mentioning serrated knives or waiting rooms. You have your own phrasebook, developed naturally, over time.

How Pornography Drugs & Changes Your Brain

How Pornography Drugs & Changes Your Brain:

While some have avoided using the term “addiction” in the context of natural compulsions such as uncontrolled sexuality, overeating, or gambling, let us consider current scientific evidence regarding the brain and addiction.

Little Evidence Jesus Died on a Cross, Says Swedish Scholar

Little Evidence Jesus Died on a Cross, Says Swedish Scholar:

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Samuelsson’s thesis has caused something of an unheavenly row. While fellow theologians have complimented his highly detailed research, many critics in the blogosphere have claimed that he wants to undermine Christianity. Samuelsson — who believes that “the man who walked this earth was the Son of God, and that he will return to judge the living and the dead” — says this accusation is simply “stupid.”

A web-based survey of North American English

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:00:59 -0400

A web-based survey of North American English:

“They’re looking for participation from “anyone who has grown up speaking English in America or Canada”. All you need is an internet-connected computer with a microphone and a web browser that can run Flash. You participate by connecting to a Flash application that gives you prompts and records your responses.

They ask for basic demographic information, but participants are of course anonymous. This is a great idea, and I certainly encourage participation. Check it out!

If you’re an English speaker from outside North America, hang on, I expect that they (or others) will get to you soon.”

If it’s the beaches
If it’s the beaches’ sands you want
Then you will have them
If it’s the mountains’ bending rivers
Then you will have them
If it’s the wish to run away
Then I will grant it
Take whatever you think of
While I go gas up the truck
Pack the old love letters up
We will read them
When we forget why we left here
