Zompist Bboard Again

While obviously surpassed by murder and the like, in at least two cases, Hopkins has inspired people to actually do things: the spraying of her inflammatory tweet on a Muslim's house and the supposedly too-fat girl band member Jesy Nelson's attempted suicide. The speaker seems to be more important a...

Thanks! The first usage of zorèy can be dated through historical documents to being first used at the time of the First World War and there are also interviews with old folk still living in the 60s which also indicate that usage shifted from ziropyin within their lifetimes. It has indeed since been ...

The speaker seems to be more important and respected in some respects nowadays than the PM. Is it possible or likely for there to be a change in importance like this? Like the PM is now more important than the king or how the Palace Mayors took from the kings in the Frankish kingdom.

Yes, please

I am available to answer any questions anyone might have.

One thing I was thinking about referenda: they should just be trated like ordinary elections. If we had a general election and anyone suggesting "respecting the result" of it on an indefinite basis and no longer having any more general elections because that wouldn't be "respecting t...

Much as I have as natural dislike to the idea of posh fowk as much as the next man that grew up on a council estate, I don't se why collective schools should be involved in this. One thing I was thinking about referenda: they should just be trated like ordinary elections. If we had a general electio...

EU citizens can also vote and even be candidates for the Scottish Parliament. Which could theoretically result in a post-Brexit situation of the UK Government telling someone to go home and the Scottish Government welcoming them as one of their members. Removing charitable status from private school...

I do not have any details, not knowing much about Canada in general, but the Green voting intention is rising in Canada, as in Germany, Austria, France, Ireland, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Scotland and England, and it's likely that NDP voters are often the ones switching to Green. This only accou...

I've never heard of Helen Glesson, but first link on searching on DuckDuckGo was her Wikipedia page that mentions her awards and honours. So I'd say go for it. I think that, unless you're threatened with persecution or becoming apatride, focus on career rather than citizenship. Anyone can get a citi...

Well, that's getting into the details of the translation (I didn't think of an English translation until I posted earlier in this thread), because, on the one hand, lexique can be translated as lexicon, as well as other words, such as dictionary. Also, in English, lexis and lexicon can be at least s...

This form is also attested in the Altas Linguistique de La Réunion. I think therefore that both likely existed already in France, most likely in Normandy, which has been mentioned having sibilants in different positions to other langues d'oïl.

Other similar forms include [ʒyʃka] and [ʃaʃe].

The same metathesis is attested in Réunion Creole, especially among the local Highland poor whites, including in the word chécheresse.

@Ser: Which Spanish speakers are these exactly? Native speakers living in America? or El Salvador? or elsewhere? Is this only young people that hang around on internet forums or other people too? How does usage vary across these groups?

I believe this sort of thing is attested in quite a few languages, and that it can be a significant issue in making syntactic sense of agreement---since it seems to imply that agreement relationships can be determined by linear order rather than structure. All I can add to this is that it's a curio...

Thanks! Indeed, I am now 29 and first joined the ZBB at the ripe old age of 14. Master 2 is the second level of master in France under the latest overhaul of the higher education system. It is 5 year-levels after the baccalauréat , and one year-level above what I previously obtained in 2011, a Maste...

Es gibt eine Übersetzung der Zusammenfassung auf englisch und auf deutsch aber, ja, leider ist es schwierig wenn nicht französisch kann.

Thanks!

@Travis: It means "The lexis of Réunion Creole of Malagasy origin"

Someone else mentioned they had difficulty downloading it on Facebook. I tried to download it myself to check and it worked fine. Maybe it's easier when you're logged on to Academia.org?

Thanks!

My Masters thesis on the lexis of Réunion Creole of Malagasy origin can now be found online: https://www.academia.edu/40314155/LE_LE ... E_MALGACHE
