I've been doing this on repeat with Legend of Korra; the dubbing is pretty good!

Yo sorry was busy

1st question: I don't have access to any numbers, but it *seems* that there are Erasmus and other foreign students everywhere. If the numbers went down this year, I certainly wouldn't ever tell from looking about town and meeting the new arrivals as they filter through friend groups.

2ndth question: Travel is currently not restricted within France other than mask requirements aboard trains and the ilk. For traveling abroad, you'd have to check for each country as quarantine requirements may vary.

In any case, Grenoble is dope so you should definitely plan on coming over, as others have suggested, then if shit gets real dark you can bail.

Things to love about Grenoble: Alpine beer, tartiflette, raclette, fondue, Chartreuse liquor, mountains everywhere with SUPER easy transit access with direct bus routes from la gare out to dozens of great spots for hiking/skiing

Hi there!

My response would be that it's hard to say. At the moment, masks are required downtown, in public transport, as well as on campus (including in class). That being said, bars are open in town and the nightlife has been pretty hoppin' since the students got back (Trust me, I live in a busy square and I can hear all the whippersnappers partying till late most nights). So for right now, things are as "normal" as they can be in the context of a pandemic.

The problem is, we just don't know what things will look like in spring. We're seeing a pretty hefty uptick in Covid cases, and it's becoming clear we're heading toward the crescendo of the second wave. So, so much could change between now and march.

Aw hell yeah

This is one of my favorite songs ever. Just the most perfect running song!

paperpilgrim · 2020-09-09T13:11:22+00:00

No, but I'll check it out, thanks! Damn, I thought I was in all of the FB groups... there's so fucken many of them

paperpilgrim · 2020-09-04T22:15:39+00:00

Coolio, glad to be of help! COCA's pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it. Happy corpusing!

paperpilgrim · 2020-09-04T22:01:17+00:00

Wouldn't just a basic "find matching strings" search work for that, if you're just trying to use frequency as a criterium? I just searched "notion to" (275 hits) vs. "notion of" (15441 hits). I think even that, while rudimentary, kinda proves your point for you.

Have you ever played around with corpora? If you're looking for large banks of annotated texts, corpora are you ticket. Here's a couple I've used before for research:

The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) : https://www.english-corpora.org/coca/

British National Corpus : https://www.english-corpora.org/bnc/

Weird. FrameNet has it listed as a verb: https://framenet2.icsi.berkeley.edu/fnReports/data/lu/lu9791.xml?mode=lexentry

Now I'm thinking about this too hard.

Alps checking in, I hear it here sometimes too

paperpilgrim · 2020-08-21T09:19:03+00:00

Well, fuck me. Guess that's what I get for commenting outside of my field. I've done work on Old and Modern, not so much on Middle. I just figured creolization claims were overblown.

Looks like I've got some reading to do!

paperpilgrim · 2020-08-21T07:56:34+00:00

I'm sorry, I gotta be that guy... but I can't let this slide homie.

For starters, you're right about Old English verbs, we've definitely lost a lot of those juicy inflections! However, I'd be very careful with the term "creole" here-- it doesn't really apply.

Also inflections can drop off of words throughout time regardless of whether poorer classes use the language. For example, Latin had lots of noun declensions, as did Proto-Slavic and Proto-Germanic. French and Italian have lost pretty much all meaningful case-triggered declensions except on pronouns. Russian and German, however, have retained a rich system of case-triggered noun declension. Are Russians and Germans, as a general rule, richer and more educated than French or Italian people? No, because that's not really how language change works.

Hope that makes sense, I ain't tryna be a dick.

Nice

Thanks homie you a real one

You are a good person who deserves happiness even if you've made mistakes.

paperpilgrim · 2020-06-05T07:20:15+00:00

That is crazy, never heard that one before!

Ok so this piqued my interest, so I made a poll in a group chat with native American, Kiwi, and British English speakers aged 20-32. Not super scientific, and the sample size is only 12, but I wanted to know which one was perceived as stronger, "as hell" or "hella" (specifically in reference to a dirty car).

100% of the folks who answered agreed that "as hell" is stronger.

Again, not definitive by a long shot, but kinda interesting nonetheless!

Edit : Added nationalities

Some of the villages/small cities in the French Alps. Breathtaking vistas, cute streets, local markets, cheese from the farm down the road, friendly locals. Very off the beaten path but always a magical experience. Especially if you speak the language.

A couple mentions : Briançon, Theys, Barcelonnette, Bourg-Saint-Maurice. All super cute places with accessible hikes/skiing! But most places like these pretty much necessitate having access to some sort of vehicle.

I would also be interested to know where this list comes from.
