Document Summary

Acs 106 week 4: language and analogy/morphology part 1. Identity (australians create a separate identity from their distance from the rest of the commonwealth) Intelligibility (being able to understand the aussie-english and figure out if they are a separate language) Writing system (china has many different languages and within those there are different tones, however they all believe they are the same language) History (relates to all other points, and in scandanavia speakers of danish understand. Do they have a common history? (cid:862) peaki(cid:374)g is freedo(cid:373); the word is freedo(cid:373) itself(cid:863) ludwig feuerbach (1841) All categories overlap with other categories, most are inherently fuzzy; some are prototype oriented; some are like spectra; some are like taxamonies; some like fossils; all result from cognitive habit, social discourse and bodily experience. Two of the most enduring super-categories in language are, quite naturally, nouns and verbs. Nouns point to more passive, static associations; verbs evoke more active relationships between these passive associations.
