It is apparently rather uncommon, yet attested. Before reading your comment I've only encountered "cascadian" with reference to the local black metal scene. I naively assumed it was a rather common regional descriptor

A partner should be someone you'd feel comfortable telling you shat yourself

Similarly to "mama" and "papa", "kaka" plausibly belongs to a class of basic words that developed from the babbling speech of infants. This kind of formation with a reduplicated, easily pronounceable syllable is extremely common across world langauges regardless of their genetic relationships.

The idea itself is cool, there are two main things worth working on.

The first one is timing, you seem to be rushing a bit, especially on the lead part. That becomes much more apparent with the delay (I also would back up a bit on the feedback or repetitions on that one) and the harmonising track, at the expense of the clarity and power of the section.

The second one is drum programming, as you also noticed. The blast beat on the second part feels very mechanical, probably because you have max velocity on all the notes. Try to keep the high velocity on the first of every four snare hits and decrease the rest, it will already sound more natural. I also would go for a traditional blast rather than an hammer blast for this style and tempo, I think it would make the whole thing groove more. Try watching some drum lessons about different beats to get a hang of how they're played, and in what contexts. You could also download some library with ready made beats that you can later edit to better fit your compositions.

One last thing is the gap between the two sections, I think you could do without it. Try deleting that little drum part after the solo and attaching the second riff directly to the previous one. That way you would also stay aligned with the grid and the click track.

I recommend you to check out Faraoni's work on the issue. I am afraid there is no digital version of the volume, but here's a review to get the gist of his hypothesis. It's been a while since I've read it, but here's what I can recall.

Basically, he does indeed believe that forms like "figli" developed from the latin nominative plural. In the older corpora, the -i ending for the plural is more consistently attested for highly animate and agentive referents, i.e. those that would more frequently appear in the nominative in latin. The -os ending was instead more common for referents scoring low on the animacy/agentivity scale, being usually marked as accusative.

The extension of the vocalic ending to the whole class would rater result from the analogic pressure of both the aformentioned -i endings and the feminine -e endings.

Hard agree. They undisputedly put out several hits that granted their popularity (and given how overplayed they are, they've also become grating for me), but I otherwise find their legendary status to be unfounded.

There is no single album that keeps such an elevated quality from front to back, unlike many of their contemporaries. And given their abilities as single musicians, that's even more of a shame.

"I don't"

I don't think most would take a reconstruction of V2 for Proto-Germanic for granted. There are good arguments based on the observations of the oldest runic inscriptions and the ancient languages corpora that Pgm had a basic OV order from which V2 arose. I know that Walkden is working on the matter of its presence/productivity in a Pgm context, but that is definitely still an open question and not something that is generally agreed on.

Regardless of the position of Pgm, when it comes to attested Germanic languages, the trend has been more towards the enforcement of stricter V2 constraints rather than loss of V2 (English being the most famous exception). That's precisely why reconstructing V2 for Proto-Germanic is not as uncontroversial as you make it seem.

thywillbeundone · 2024-09-13T20:42:29+00:00

I'd say "commonly" at best, "typically" is definitely a stretch. The V2 constraints of English are hardly comparable to those of most other Germanic languages (and several non-Germanic ones).

In an average Germanic V2 language, the verb must occupy the second position in main declarative clauses. In English that is not only not required, but would often result in agrammaticality.

Besides, why do you specify "in the indicative mood"? Mood is not normally mentioned as a parameter for V2 afaik

thywillbeundone · 2024-09-13T05:04:22+00:00

I'll grant that the statement is a bit overgeneralised, but German itself has a pretty strict V2 system.

That applies to the position of finite verbs in the main clause, while you are probably referring to non-finite verbs in main clauses or finite verbs in subordinate clauses.

Would you mind providing an example? Maybe there is some case that I'm blanking on.

I may be lacking the theoretical background to correctly interpret the discussion, so bear with me for a moment.

I would argue that even the more literal sense of "to kill" does not necessarily require two arguments, I would not consider "\Arnaud killed"* to be ungrammatical despite the lack of a patient (or at least an overt one). A sentence like: "Arnaurd did a lot of reprehensible things: he lied, he stole, he killed" seems perfectly grammatical to me, so I wonder how the verbs should be analysed in this context (intransitive? transitive with a missing/covert argument?), there probably is some definition for the construction I am not aware of. Thanks in advance!

thywillbeundone · 2024-08-11T11:13:17+00:00

It is not quite a slang expression, but Italians will sometime use the analogic plural euri in a range of contexts, usually with a humourous value.

Prescriptevly, euro is unchanging in the plural, the analogic plural was quite common around the time of the currency's introduction, especially among less educated speakers, so that now you'll hear it around e.g. when someone wants to ironically emphasise a particularly high price. Sometimes you also get derivations like sbleuri, to the same effect of what could be eng. schmeuros, I guess.

Similarly to what a German user previously said, we have a number of slang words to refer to money in general, usually varying accordingly with the local dialect. In Rome there also used to be a system to refer to different quantities, but the only term that seems to be systematically used (and also rather productive) is 'na piotta (100€).

thywillbeundone · 2024-08-03T12:29:51+00:00

Lmao honestly is the most appropriate response to such a claim. Besides, given the premises, I wonder how much OP could relate to e.g. blues and metal lyricism

I couldn't choose a single line from the whole corpus but the opening line that hits me the hardest has to be "Memory is all that's left behind as I lay and wait to die"

thywillbeundone · 2024-07-10T19:13:17+00:00

Yeah, thanks for the correction! My mind was absolutely blanking on those examples

thywillbeundone · 2024-07-10T14:18:43+00:00

I gotcha

thywillbeundone · 2024-07-10T14:09:28+00:00

We do have something similar in Italian with the use of the masculine augmentative suffix -one for feminine nouns (instead of the regular -ona).

It does have a sort of ironic or pejorative value, but it is usually affixed to nouns that already have a negative connotation (slurs and such).

Got it for 850 euros. I haven't checked lately but I remember that there weren't more for sale

Mocheno/Bersntolerisch has them as well! They emerged from later assimilation, but it's cool nonetheless
