I do not have it (!)

It is Wikipedia psychological concept of "internal communication" that I do not have. Let me quote on the thing, reckon if it is good, and then I tell what I have. Wikipedia: Examples of internal communication are thinking to oneself I'll do better next time after having made a mistake or having an imaginary conversation … Continue reading I do not have it (!) →

Krashen and California pang of conscience

Stephen ■Krashen is not enemy to bilingualism. His thousand letters maybe did not squash ■Proposition 227 beforehand, but they certainly did contribute to the climate, and the air of understanding may give as water drops that drill the rock: stone does not really have a chance. Proposition 227 yielded in 2016. Let me render the … Continue reading Krashen and California pang of conscience →

4. Feedback deficiency and language

Conscious human experience becomes possible with the person form for individual awareness, known as the human mind. Though it may never become defined in universal terms for constituents or inner composure, the mind has been recognized in function to consolidate thinking as well as feeling (Vander et al., 1985). Neurophysiology is capable of conditioned insight … Continue reading 4. Feedback deficiency and language →

Transcreation

The idea to trans-create things is recognized mostly for painting or other visual art styles. Artificial Intelligence lets use palettes and brushstrokes that people easily can tell for Gogh or Cezanne in origin. Making such things is pleasure, I can say having done ■my palette Sisley, feel welcome to the sample. The matter here yet … Continue reading Transcreation →

Thomas Paine as a young man

Mainstream, run-of-the-mill, or even rush-hour, we people time and again get honestly to reflect on what we see. Preparing a book series, I arrived at reviewing images of Thomas Paine. Spontaneously, simply as pictures, regardless of the who, how could I describe one? Skin complexion: yellow clay facials? Right eye: fry an egg, tilt the … Continue reading Thomas Paine as a young man →

Honeybee Book 1: The great knowledge

It is never possible to agree with someone on everything; it is just as impossible to disagree on all, but I believe Confucius would have been himself, also if born in a republic.

Hostile mimicry

THOUGH it could be fun to observe on a behaviorist for an “armchair theory” — would a man sit like a woman, or a woman like a man — mimetic theories belong with behaviorism, where speech and language are “verbal behavior” to become “reinforced through the mediation of other persons”. ■→More

Bogey in the tongue box

ELM is short for an Extreme Learning Machine. ELMs can train artificial feedforward networks; ELMs are pre-programmed, fast, and affordable. However, human brains rely on own, intrinsic feedback, and the role approximates a drive; the tissue uses feedforward, but not in “single-layer networks”. ELMs are to work in Computer Aided Diagnosis. ■→More

The pit of the olden cniht

VERSTÄNDNIS appears spacious an idea: it can hold comprehension, empathy, and — opinion. The elapse the Umwelt theory would need yet does not look covered in any known speech. Ticks, sea urchins, amoebae, and jellyfish would be granted own worlds, for a study of meaning as present also in human communication. ■→More

Mabel Loomis Todd on witchcraft

TERESA Pelka is strictly a language professional, a non-believer, who has never had any interest and absolutely does not support any belief in witchcraft. The text relates to the Resource on Emily Dickinson's poetry, of which Mabel Loomis Todd was editor. ■→More

En Face

THE only approved picture of Emily Dickinson is a daguerreotype her sister would have given to one Austin Baxter Keep in 1890s. I do not like the daguerreotype simply as a negligent image of a human being. I had my first careful look and understood it was disposed of as faulty. I broke it into CMYK. ■→More

The commatoform disorder

Punctuation, the comma, the dash, and other such characters, are to make the written matter clear. There is some logic to it, yet language is not a system, and there are no rules that would universally, objectively, and always apply. We need own common sense, or our body of text may become to exhibit a "commatoform" ailment, "somatoform" to mean something of a bodily character. ■→More

The Latin demeanor

WHY say circles, if we say cats? Ancient money talk along trade routes can give us a clue. More→

My dear head

MY dear head does not give me headaches. This is one of the reasons I literally love it and would not change it for anything in the universe or multiverse entire and beyond. Should I spell with a big letter, “my dear Head”? More→
