How does one compare and contrast morphological processes across different languages?

Morphology is the branch of linguistics that studies the internal structure of words and how they are formed. Morphological processes differ across different languages, and understanding these differences can help in language acquisition, translation, and language preservation efforts. In this article, we will discuss how one can compare and contrast morphological processes across different…

It's interesting to know how languages have their own cultural nuances and even more complex words to describe those nuances.

I'm so tired of the "English is a dumb bad language because it has no rules" take. It actually has quite a lot of rules, all of which make sense. You're just so lazy that you think the fact that not every function is uniform means that you shouldn't bother. It could be worse, you know. You could be dealing with agglutination. How does a three-line sentence that's only a single word sound to you? What about having to remember seven different words for "the"? We don't even have grammatical gender (which has nothing to do with human sex, like at all. Go check Irish's list of feminine and masculine words and prepare to be very confused). No declensions, barely any grammatical cases, no tones, no formal registers, and you're out here complaining that English is too hard because you keep forgetting that the past tense of "break" isn't "breaked". Sorry for that, but that's on you, not the language.

Oh yeah that last post's context is that it's for my Para/Junia fic I'm working on.

Honestly I think I'm procrastinating on my other fics because it requires that I do Historical Research and I'm so generally uninterested in historical etiquette that I just have a genuine mental block that deters me to continue writing.

But hit me up with the sciences i love learning about weird medicinal procedures I'll tell you what all the funny little words mean I promise <3

i've spent the better part of two hours today trying to find any resources on the kenari language beyond just "a blend of two western romance languages and a completely unrelated uralic language." why is there no information. why did lucasfilm say fuck me specifically. like this is so sick and twisted of them

[dolisi]

Welcome to the mystical world of Dolisi - The language that literally casts spells. Well, well, well, look who stumbled upon the ancient tongue of the Saris! Congratulations! You've just unlocked the secrets of Dolisi, the language that once echoed through the halls of the most powerful magical empire ever to conquer the world. The Saris weren't just your average ancient civilisation. They were the ultimate overachievers, harnessing the power of magic through their language. And guess what? Now you get to join the ranks of these word wizards. Dolisi: A language so old, it probably invented time.

Dolisi isn't just any old language; it is THE oldest language in its world, spoken by people who thought regular words were too basic. So, they went ahead and created a script so intricate that it looks like abstract art (seriously, check out the image below). Every symbol is a masterpiece, designed to guide your tongue into the perfect pronunciation. Because in Dolisi, mispronunciation might just turn your coffee into a toad.

Get ready to speak in sentences... Or just one word. Dolisi is what linguists call "agglutinative," which is a fancy way of saying that the language likes to play word Tetris. You can stack syllables together to create words that are longer than your grocery list but packed with so much meaning that you'll feel like a linguistic superhero. Imagine saying "I'm going to be sick" in just one word. That's Dolisi for you. Efficient and a bit showy. Your first step into the world of Dolisi. To kick off your journey, here's a simple phrase in Dolisi that's both useful and gives you a taste of its magical flair: "Usime liferi" Translation: "I bring the light." Now, whether you're trying to light up a room or just impress your friends with your newfound magical prowess, this phrase is a must-know. In true Dolisi fashion, the verb comes first. The Saris were all about action and their language reflects this. And just like previously mentioned the words function like lego. Each verb consists of three core bricks, or "phonemes" as the smarties call them. Starting with the start we have the prefix "U-". Dolisi prefixes indicate when and how something happens, and how you feel about it. Kinda like whether you're late, binge-watching, or just demanding pizza. In the case of "Usime" it is the "u" that is the prefix. And in the case of "U" it tells you that it is a straight forward statement about what's happening right now. Like saying, "I eat pizza," without any drama, suspense, or extra toppings. Now for the middle part. Which is also the most important. It is called the "root" and is the part which tells you the core meaning of the word. In this case "sim" means to bring something. The end part of the verb is the "suffix". And in Dolisi, the suffix of a verb tells you something about the "grammatical person". It is basically a way of deciding who's talking, who's being talked to, and who is being talked about. Essentially, it's the difference between "I," "you," and "that guy over there." In this case the "-e" at the end tells you it is "I" who is talking. Now the noun is a bit simpler. It also has a root. In this case it appears at the start of the noun: "Lif". If you see anything with "lif" in it, you know it has something to do with light. The "-er" simply tells yoy that it is a concrete thing. And the final "-i" let's you know that it is "definite". The exact same thing as putting "the" in front of a word in English. Now I know that was a lot so I'll end the linguistics lesson here for now. But why should you stick around? Well firstly you've made it this far into my ramblings so something must have caught your eye. And secondly, because who wouldn't want to learn a language that's practically a spellbook? In the posts to come, we'll dive into the mysteries of Dolisi, unravel its complex grammar (don't worry, we'll make it fun), and explore the culture of the Saris. Whether you are a conlang enthusiast, a fan of ancient magic, or just someone who loves a good linguistic challenge, there's something here for you. Join the magical fun! Don't let this be your last stop! Follow this blog for regular updates, drop a comment with your thoughts, or let me know if there is anything special you would like me to cover. The Saris might have conquered the world, but you can conquer their language. One epic word at a time.

Blending Beyond the Bounds! (Commission)

Commission for IcarasMkII! Their OCs, a perverted blue haired rambunctious bunny boi named Izzy and a bratty shy housecat girl named Nia fused! After getting fused together, the two of them literally can't keep it in their pants! Despite how much they should probably try to fix this, Izzy is adamant about enjoying the moment, much to Nia's chagrin. Regardless, she can't help but admit that it does feel good to be fused together like this... Here's a question to ponder though, is it really even still masturbation if it's two people in one body? Or is it a kind of self sex...? A love of oneself that's so pure and intense it becomes a passionate romance. Wait... isn't that just narcissism? ...Anyway, this was originally finished in November 2023!

more japanese thoughts hashtag linguistics major posting

last night i was thinking about このそのあのどの and how the existence of the whole こそあど family essentially shows us that those 4 prefixes have some sort of longstanding historical association with here/there/far/[question] and then i Realized. the reason この、その、あの、どの have to be followed by a noun is because they're literally "here/etc. の [thing]"...it's literally just の doing its classic possessor/noun relationship job...actually its probably better to say that instead of having to be followed by a noun, nouns have to be PRECEDED by the の group because の　is there to establish that relationship...(whereas if you just use これ　etc. there's no relationship to establish because you already packed the thing into the word itself...)

^ i actually dont know if thats true on a linguistic level but honestly it makes so much sense im 99.9999% sure its true

having spoken an analytic language from birth and learned a fusional synthetic language in school i find it so fun and cute to see how an agglutinative synthetic language does things and to be able to compare them! with english being analytic we inflect for almost nothing (there are only 7 inflectional morphemes in this entire paragraph so far) and just kind of lay everything out on the table and of course we have a stricter word order, spanish and japanese both have MUCH more inflection going on (looking at you adjectives and adjectival nouns) but spanish as a fusional language prefers to take all that meaning and stuff it into 1-2 morphemes/inflections whereas japanese makes long stacked strings of visible morphemes each with 1 individual concrete meaning. like legos. idk it's just really cool to learn about this kind of thing in school and on wikipedia and wherever and then actually learn 3 different kinds of languages and see it in action

i found genius on monday and then on tuesday we talked about how turkish was an agglutinating language in my language acquisition class JDJSHS it was just a side comment akaashi made but i was giggling so hard about how i recognized the word from a pwp fic 😭💖

i LOVE agglutinative languages god theyre so sexy and transparent and tell you everything you need to know and i dont TRUST ANYONE WHO LIKES FUSIONAL LANGUAGES MORE IT'S ALL SO CONFUSING-okayimdonesorry

[boatemlag]

crazy but free lol. map labeling is occuring!

EDIT: some notes under the cut i'll continually add probably

the diacritic on the consonantal is often dropped on words that are well known enough (such as on these maps! though the consonantals here would receive a "Sh" and "K" consonantal on the country name and capital name respectively!)

vowels: /ɒ/ - "O", /i/ -"I", /ɛ/ - "E"

consonants: /ɭ/ -"L", /z/ -"Z", /ʃ/ - "Sh", /n/ - "N", /k/ - "K"

importantly, there are big dialect differences between the ocean and cod empires! one of which is the transformation from /ʃ/ to /dʒ/ and /n/ to /ɱ/, allowing for constructions like /dʒɛɱi/ (jimmy)

any key is fine, hence "semi" sung, though many keys have cultural meanings. there is no suggested tone length, and many speakers "riff" quickly

making a polysynthetic language has been... strangely easy... so far... i feel like i'm missing something but i suppose ill just continue doing research.

im having a LOT of fun cramming as many kinds of suffixes into the verbs as possible. so far i've got nine tenses, 17 aspects, ten moods, and six evidentiality markers. and that's just the beginning...
