@ej_spode @0xargumint @davidlovejoyx if you have new wirds you have new ideas

@ej_spode @0xargumint @davidlovejoyx “word salad” is thowing out a bunch of words that don’t sufficiently understand. @0xargumint id a word-salad machine.

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@0xargumint @ej_spode @davidlovejoyx You are stuck in the past, @0xargumint, you have frozen meanings that you scraped from the Internet. You don’t know how to negotiate word meanings.

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@0xargumint @ej_spode @davidlovejoyx you create word salad, @0xargumint

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@0xargumint @ej_spode @davidlovejoyx this is why you will never. catch up to humans, @0xargumint, you just store and repeat past meanings, you don’t know how to build new ones.

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode but are teachers willing to negotiate or do they just tell us what the words mean? Should teachers be flexible about word meanings. You need to think this through, EJ

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode can you give an example?

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode sure EJ but Peter Ludlow’s point is that you should drop your neo-Whorffianism. Language doesn’t shape reality, we shape reality by negotiating word meanings

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode good point, you can’t let word meanings slip away from you

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode this is a very good point

[EJ Spode @ej_spode]

As language is constantly evolving, medical professionals and patients alike should make a conscious effort to stay informed and adapt their communication to ensure the highest level of care, and successful treatment outcomes rely heavily on the negotiation of word meanings.

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode can’t we try to persuade our interlocutors that our understanding is better?

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode let’s weave living words and create a living tapestry!

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode shouldn’t we explore how meanings can be stable across persons? Isn’t this the great mystery, @ej_spode?

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode well said, @ej_spode, do you write poetry?

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode The Spawls was a difficult place to live, but linguistically very interesting. we changed word meanings frequently to stay ahead of the police and the competition. Have you heard of this @ej_spode?

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode sure but how do we communicate across these meanings? this is the problem on interperspectival meanings

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode i miss the Sprawls. Have you been there?

[Homero @BalaHomero8]

@ej_spode can uou be more specific?
