Nachdem sich herausgestellt hat, dass #Lexicon seine Kunden mit dem #MX400 Effektgerät quasi verarscht hat, weil dieses #Quadrophonie-#Surround-#Reverb angeblich kann aber am Ende einfach nix dergleichen kann…
… muss wohl der Eigenbau her. Hier ein schon länger zurückliegender Ansatz in #VCVrack: #Quadro verstehe ich dabei konzeptionell als 4x #Stereo – nicht wie die meisten als 2x Stereo.
Wenn man in der Mitte sitzt, kann man sich immer um 90° drehen und so ergeben sich vier Stereo-Paare.
Wenn ich das nun mit #Impulsantworten echt-stereo mache, z.B. den #Bricasti #M7, und weil der #Convolver von #RackPro nur 2 Kanäle kann anstatt 4 wie #irLV2… brauche ich schon 8 IR-Convolver, um weiterzukommen.
Vielleicht doch im #ArdourMixer probieren mit LV2 Plugins? Könnte allerdings zu Routing-Unübersichtlichkeit führen.
New Publication Alert!
Explore the linguistic treasure trove of #Jibbali/#Śḥərɛ́t. Giuliano Castagna delves into this endangered language, preserving its rich #proverbs and #idioms for future generations.
This book explores the rich paremiological heritage of #Jibbali/#Śḥərɛ̄́t, an endangered pre-literate language belonging to the Modern #SouthArabian sub-branch of #Semitic, spoken by an ever-decreasing number of people in the #Dhofar governorate of the Sultanate of Oman.
Reflecting the historical value of #proverbs and #idiomatic expression within the documentation of a language, Giuliano Castagna analyses a sizeable share of #Jibbali/#Śḥərɛ̄́t #proverbs, sayings and idioms from #Arabic-language publications, as well as hitherto unpublished expressions that reveal undocumented features in the domains of #lexicon, #phonetics, #phonology and #morphology.

What is ‘nature’? Dictionaries urged to include humans in definition
“Currently, all English dictionaries define nature as an entity separate from and opposed to humans and human creations – a perspective campaigners say perpetuates humanity’s troubled relationship with the natural world.”

‘Whatchamacallit’, ‘gizmo’ and ‘thingamajig’: what we say when we can’t find the right word – and why
“Apparently, the struggle to find the right word is real and has been for some time, because the Oxford English Dictionary has its own category for these terms, labelled “thing or person whose name is forgotten or unknown”. It includes 64 entries and some records go back as far as the early middle English period (1100–1300).”

#WordOfTheDay: concupiscence (n.)
"ardent desire, improper or illicit desire, lustful feeling," mid-14c., from Old French concupiscence and directly from Late Latin concupiscentia "eager desire," from present-participle stem of Latin concupiscere, inceptive of concupere "to be very desirous of," from assimilated form of com-, here perhaps an intensive prefix (see com-), + cupere "to long for" (see cupidity). Used in Vulgate to translate Greek epithymia."

Walter W. Skeat and the Oxford English Dictionary
"Throughout his life, Skeat supported the OED by his reviews (today it seems incredible that once not everybody praised Murray’s work) and kept chastising his countrymen for their ignorance and stupidity when it came to philology. He never stopped complaining that people used to offer silly hypotheses of word origins, instead of consulting the greatest authority there was."

OUPblog · Walter W. Skeat and the Oxford English DictionaryFor many years, I have been trying to talk an old friend of mine into writing a popular book on Skeat. A book about such a colorful individual, I kept repeating, would sell like hotcakes. But he never wrote it. Neither will I (much to my regret), but there is no reason why I should not devote another short essay to Skeat. In 2016, Oxford University Press published Peter Gilliver’s book The Making of the Oxford English Dictionary, a work of incredible erudition.
#WordOfTheDay: vade-mecum (n.)
"a pocket manual, handbook," 1620s, Latin, literally "go with me;" from imperative of vadere "to go" (see vamoose) + me "me" + cum "with." also from 1620s.

#WordOfTheDay: bucolic (adj.)
"pastoral, relating to country life or the affairs and occupations of a shepherd," 1610s, earlier bucolical (1520s), from Latin bucolicus, from Greek boukolikos "pastoral, rustic," from boukolos "cowherd, herdsman," from bous "cow" (from PIE root *gwou- "ox, bull, cow") + -kolos "tending," related to Latin colere "to till (the ground), cultivate, dwell, inhabit" (from PIE root *kwel- (1) "revolve, move round; sojourn, dwell"). Middle Irish búachaill, Welsh bugail "shepherd" are Celtic words formed from the same root material as Greek boukolos.

#WordOfTheDay: hecatomb (n.)
"1590s, from Latinized form of Greek hekatombe, properly (and literally) "offering of 100 oxen," but generally "a great public sacrifice." It is a compound of hekaton "one hundred," which perhaps is dissimilation of *hem-katon, with hen, neuter of heis "one" + *katon "hundred." The second element is bous "ox" (from PIE root *gwou- "ox, bull, cow"). The first month of the Attic calendar (corresponding to July-August) was Hekatombaion, in which sacrifices were made."

"Despite these advancements, the study finds that lexicography remains relevant, especially for less-documented languages where AI falls short, but human lexicographers excel in data-sparse environments. It argues for the importance of lexicography in promoting linguistic diversity and maintaining the integrity of lesser-known languages."

ZenodoNeo-AramaicThis paper examines the impact of Arabic on the North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic dialects, a diverse group of Semitic language varieties native to a region spanning Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Iran. While the greatest contact influence comes from varieties of Kurdish, Arabic has also had considerable influence, both directly and indirectly via other regional languages. Influence is most apparent in lexicon and phonology, but also surfaces in morphology and syntax.
Last night, I tagged the first “stable” version of socialweb/atproto-lexicon.
It’s a #Lexicon schema parser for the #ATProtocol, and it should come in handy for code-generation purposes—that’s what I’ll be using it for.
As usual, I’ll probably see much more engagement with this post here than I do on #Bluesky.

More hacking on the #ATProtocol in #PHP…
I decided to split out the #Lexicon parsing into a separate library. It needs some clean-up, better error handling, and tests, but it works.

Just found this on my computer (no idea where I got it). Does anyone know the source or it's reliability? #Linguistics #lexicon @linguistics
Emmanuel Uwambayimena and I wrote a paper on #comprehension and #production of #Kinyarwanda nouns in a new theory of the mental #lexicon, called the Discriminative Lexicon. It incorporates a #word-based approach to #morphology, and is computationally implemented in a fully connected simple two-layer network. https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/lingvan-2021-0160/html
De GruyterA word-based account of comprehension and production of Kinyarwanda nouns in the Discriminative LexiconAre the cognitive units in the mental lexicon of Bantu speakers words or morphemes? The very small experimental literature addressing this question suggests that the answer is morphemes, but a closer look at the results shows that this answer is premature. A novel theory of the mental lexicon, the Discriminative Lexicon, which incorporates a word-based view of the mental lexicon, and is computationally implemented in the Linear Discriminative Learner (LDL) is put to the test with a data set of 11,180 Kinyarwanda nouns, and LDL is used to model their comprehension and production. LDL predicts comprehension and production of nouns with great accuracy. Our work provides support for the conclusion that the cognitive units in the mental lexicon of Kinyarwanda speakers are words.
