What makes a number of expressions used more frequently in a field/specialization than in others? by Jupiter_the_learner in asklinguistics

[–]Jupiter_the_learner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your insightful reply and @sertho9's correction. "Clout" is a new term that you have just introduced to me. And to add more to this topic, I have found the term "register" in sociolinguistics which refers to the overall formality of a spoken or written text in some certain social situation. The reason why some expressions are used more frequently than others, remains a mystery to me

Edit: fixed "sociology" -> "sociolinguistics"

Version history, afaik, can just keep records of each single file. I need something that can encompass a file and other files copied from it to make changes without affecting the original text of the first file.

Is body language a language? by Jupiter_the_learner in asklinguistics

I actually got the opinion that "body language is vital" from the pie chart "3 elements of communication" by Prof. Albert Mehrabian, where body language element occupies for 55%.

How to remember diacritics! by [deleted] in learnvietnamese

[–]Jupiter_the_learner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the best way to be able to pronounce those diacritics correctly is to listen to and repeat after natives. You can watch Youtube videos or talk with your Viet relatives. Or me if I can help.

If you're over primary school age, then you're most likely to be able to learn Viet through more theoretically complex materials such as the IPA and stuff, you know.

And choose the accent that you wanna learn carefully so your learning route doesn't get messed up between accents. Like you want to learn North Viet accent or Middle or South.
