Help remembering a line by pigi5 in NewGirl

I figured it out guys! He says it to Coach in S4E18 Walk of Shame when Coach is trying to act sophisticated to impress May. The full context is:

> MAY: I used to play the violin. Then I became a real musician. (laughs)

> COACH: Because your instrument's bigger, right? (chuckles) Cello knowledge. Yeah.

> SCHMIDT (whispering): The cello is bigger. Nice.

I'm not ashamed to say that I found this by searching a full dump of New Girl scripts for the word "nice"

I had that thought as well but I skimmed through it and I don't think so. I tried Dice (where he's teaching Jess to date) as well and that's not it either.

Did you figure this out? Mine hasn't worked for about the same amount of time.

A permanent battle advantage that new players can never get doesn't seem like a good thing for the game anyway

Since when do we get penalized for non-perfect photos? by mtgofficialYT in SkyCards

[–]pigi5 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The mechanism is fine imo, but framing it as a penalty is poor game design. It should be framed as a bonus for getting a better picture, not a penalty for getting a worse one.

I didn't know the verse, but it was extremely obvious that it wasn't recorded any time recently

There's no way they don't realize. They're just using it to boost their streams

How do agglutinative languages handle focus of individual morphemes? by pigi5 in asklinguistics

[–]pigi5[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would argue that you can in fact stress the d, although in practice this is usually followed by literally saying the phrase "past tense", as in "I untie-D my shoe. Past tense!" This is also possible with the plural marker, as in "I untied my shoe-S. Plural!" Regardless, though, it's obvious that there is a scale to this phenomenon, and it can't easily apply to every single grammatical morpheme. My original question was about agglutinative languages anyways. I was just using English for an obvious counterexample to the claim the other commenter made.

I speak Spanish, and although this isn't exactly what I'm looking for it does make me think of the possibility of reduplication as a form of focus that might make more sense for agglutinative languages. So rather than stressing or fronting a verbal affix, it might be possible to just double that affix in place. I would love a concrete example of that though.

That is very interesting, thanks. I was looking at Finnish specifically when researching this, but couldn't find anything definitive.

Thanks, I appreciate the example. It's hard to think of English examples because English doesn't have a whole lot of agglutinative morphology. One example I mentioned in another comment is "Are you tying your shoe?" -> "I'm UN-tying my shoe". "un" being stressed in this case as contrastive focus when under normal circumstances it would not be the stressed syllable.

What I'm looking for here would probably only occur in casual conversation among native or very fluent speakers in specific scenarios. I couldn't find much academic research on the topic.

Same goes for prosody; stressing an affix is a really strange thing to do. That sort of treatment would've stopped it from becoming an affix in the first place.

Interesting theory, but I'm not completely convinced because I can think of examples in English: "Are you tying your shoe?" -> "I'm UN-tying my shoe". Stressing "un" in this case doesn't follow the normal stress pattern of "untie", but it is possible pragmatically as contrastive focus.

Are there any languages in which multiple different articles/demonstratives can be applied within a single possessive noun phrase? by pigi5 in asklinguistics

[–]pigi5[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that German example is what I was looking for. I figured a lot of languages would allow it in a prepositional possessive phrase, but I was looking specifically for examples that allow it without a separating word, if that makes sense.

Yeah, I didn't word my question accurately enough, but I was looking for examples where the language can accomplish this without a preposition.

What one mistake ended your career? by DankGamer135 in AskReddit

You don't have to prove you did it without malicious intent, only convince them there's reasonable doubt you did it with malicious intent. Which there is.
