In today’s fast-paced digital world, the way we interact with technology is constantly evolving. One of the most noticeable shifts in how people use technology is the growing popularity of voice search. With the rise of voice-activated assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, more and more people are using their voices to search for information, shop online, and even control their smart home devices. This shift isn’t just a passing trend—it’s becoming a fundamental part of how we navigate the digital world. For businesses, this means adapting to the rise of voice search is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. Enter Voice Search Optimization.

Sometimes I forget that hindi and english have a common linguistic ancestor and it throws me the fuck off when the similarities are pointed out to me because I'm a firm supporter of the English Does Not Make Sense club.

i'll get to the full overview post later but rn i want you to light a cigarette and come over look at this with me

now, this is a passive construction. it's not the most passive construction, more of a middle voice.

i.e. if this was the "true" passive, then the word "thing" wouldn't be in the accusative. still, on a syntax level, it's close enough - this construction takes a transitive sentence and whisks away an implied expletive agent. closer to passive than active, def def.

that interrogative pronoun "tor" - isn't just an interrogative pronoun. in this stage of the language, it's also the preposition that would lead into a reintroduced agent. somewhere like "by, because of," for animates.

normally, that'd go at the end of the clause:

Snzfma tosewi orgnmasres tor...

"This thing was forged by..."

buuut. it's been frooooonted. Because this language has a functional caaaase system. and the word order's all looooose when it wants to be.

i could be a bit boring and demand some kind of "real" preposition, here. "from who" or smth. but this particle can act as a preposition, and this is just the proto, so why not fuzz around a bit before i really lock the word classes in.

the absence of a compliment for tor is probably enough to mark it as a question. the speaker is looking for a seme to fill the gap. but the question is doubly marked by the fact that tor is appearing in canonical subject position. despite this being a middle voice where that shouldn't really be a thing.

you could "literally" read it as "who had this thing forging?" but that's the origin of this middle voice to begin with. so. it just works. plus there's agreement on the verb letting this be a rhetorical question, really. we know it was you.

good stuff.

dissertation really got me asking questions i never thought i'd have to ask. such as 'shit, does irish have a negative question particle?'

I think learning irish would cure me

Hah. I was trying another trick to get the VSO's pegs to stick a little (wrapping the strings offsides--didn’t work) and as I was putting it back in it's case I wondered what the screws were doing on a case that feels like cardboard and styrofoam.

This is actually the funniest possible answer, I think? The world's saddest scrap of wood glued into the purely styrofoam case structure.

Deep Wood 2024: The Deth's | Revolution Brewing

How do you know it’s barrel-aged beer season? Despite it being a year-round thing now, the true concentration of barrel-aged beer typically starts in the fall, which typically coincides with Revolution’s Deth’s Tar release. And, just like every other year, you should get pumped. This release features two constants in the Deep Wood lineup – Deth’s Tar and its coffee brother Café Deth. This year’s…

Putting myself on blast for this sentence I just wrote in my thesis:

'As a reminder from section 1, special relative verbs, which show specific inflection on a verb which is the head of a relative clause but can only appear in the 3rd person singular and plural and 1st person plural and only with simple (non-compound) verbs in the present tense, and suffixed object pronoun forms, which use the absolute inflection with the object pronoun suffixed rather than infixed but very rarely occur with anything other than a 3rd person verb and a 3rd person object pronoun, are both clear cases of defective paradigms and should probably be analyzed as lingering grammaticalizations of patterns from an earlier stage of the language which are no longer productive.'

Should I be allowed to keep this as is and just subject my readers to the fact that occasionally I am possessed by the ghost of Cicero? Absolutely not

Am I going to change it? Not until one (or more probably both) of my supervisors forcibly makes me
