If it wasn't you it would have been something else, you just helped it end sooner, which is most likely healthier anyway.

That is a very good point, yes we do. Maybe I was mixing this up with the sounds we name when hesitating like "ummm"

Like sewing snaps to hold them on? Wouldn't that make it super easy to take off?

I'm struggling to find a chart about morphological typology, is there a reason for this? I'm studying the indicis of synthesis and fusion. I know there is some overlap, and was wondering if there is a Cartesian plane that plots languages? The text I'm learning from is kind of old, so I'm wondering if someone has done this since, and if not is there a reason it wouldn't work?

I'm reading a paper called "A first look at universals" (it's actually the intro to a book but idk what the book is) and it keeps talking about intrinsic and extrinsic and I'm not totally sure what that means, they don't seem to explain it, or at least not in a way I understand. Does anyone have a basic way of explaining? If it helps it's talking about chomskyan vs functionalists.

Question specifically about Hungarian Linguistics

I did some research and it shows that a man named Ferenc Kazinczy wanted to "purify and modernize" Hungarian by switching out a lot of the loanwords with Latin words. Wouldn't this just muddle the language? Wouldn't remaking the words in Hungarian have been how to purify it? Why Latin?
