Jessica:
I bailed on my doctorate, when [CA]Gov Wilson retired my thesis committee, twice, so need more learned counsel: would advise replacing my Mazda3's 2nd sets of motormounts and front wheel bearings, with finer components despite these effing potholes, here, or saving up for something with a real throttle. And I wonder if you know anyone who can sell me a '70 Cougar for beads, trinkets, and under-the-hood or interior work. | |

Jessica, those are stumpers for me, but Tom says, all cool-like, "I can answer those questions." So answers will come. @D.J. Hi! | |

love this moment in time! question: very interested in how tech seems to be undermining the basic structure of human experience... I remeber from the 80s when it took a lot to uncover certain details of slang and little cultural codes could be pretty secret... now all you have to do is google pretty much anything, and the effect seems to be tremendously leveling in a way, but I also think it maybe driving humans into more and more extreme forms due to the also insulating quality it can have, with the tendency to allow a person to surround themselves with only the info that already fits with what they think. Seems like two contradictory things happening at once... what do you think of that? | |

I mean, where do you think it's heading? | |

can't find the power cord to my laptop. normally I would ask Dan, but in this case maybe Tom has the answer? | |

Jessica:
Last decade saw some rad articles on penmanship, etc. modes of interpersonal expression, and how they were impacted by Palm/Newton graffiti, etc. CHI conferences used to present a lot of posture, RSI concerns given texting; that's gotta be ripe for social shift examination. Maybe as kids grow up and away from their public seeking/posting on Facebook, given other influences x lessons learned, the change will be something unexpectedly rich. ? | |

DJ Dan. Just thought I would share: I enjoyed the Yak Dumplings at Llasa Cafe yesterday in Noho. Oh, I think you know the place. I've heard your show enough times...Fat Worm of Yak, indeed. There were lots of creepy, dirty, 48-year-old hippie guys outside of Haymatket Cafe...leering at 19-year-old hipster girls from Bergen County. | |

blackgreen13:
well, not to try to make this the blackgreen13 hour, please don't feel like you have to get to this also, more of an observation, but another thing I've noticed about specifically the internet is the absolute paradigm shift in info availability. Example. I love guns. I have lots of guns. I have a permit to carry them. For the work I do ( roaming around a big, much-more-violent-than-average city all alone, going to any and every neighborhood to try to help people in need), it's actually kind of practical for me. I'm also kind of new to the whole thing. So I found a community on the internet where carrying concealed is there sole focus. Through this group, I was able to ask questions directly from people with incredibly specific and specialized knowledge, combat veterans, law enforcement officers, and probably straight up thugs. I was able to ask questions directly of retired law enforcement officers who were in the Watts riots, and undercover officers and federal agents. People who were able to tell me, well we used to do this back in the 70s and WHY and specifically HOW, and then get 3 other viewpoints. It would have taken me decades to get all that knowledge without that. And this exists for almost any kind of specialized knowledge you would care to think about... how do you see this changing things? | |

I'm new to NYC and I feel like I haven't experienced the city yet because I haven't eaten at a kosher deli.Those are supposed to be everywhere, right? For some reason there aren't any in upper Manhattan, where I usually am. What's with that? | |

Feel free to stay medieval instead. Or come up with something else as yet unthought of that patently works really well. That would be great, too! We'd all learn something. Go for it! | |

Yancy Grady:
Has constant/persistent communication (text messaging, twitter/social media, instant messaging) killed the concept of conversation? How can I have a good conversation with someone if it just sort of lingers in the background all day in a text message? Am I just old fashioned? | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 10:29pm
Nat the Parker:
good conversations are made by people with something to say, regardless of technilogiez | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 10:31pm

Bullshit. I have minimal patience for mediated conversation. It could be fascinating or boring and I'll similarly drop or fade out. Bleep. | |

point taken, i can't stand conversations mediated by the intrusive presence of language. only thought-to-thought from now on. ;) | |

@MK: We all make our choices, good or bad or some of both, and hopefully learn from them. As a listener to a freeform station, I try to give other people latitude to make own choices and even mistakes. I don't feel compelled to make judgmental bossiness my top priority. | |

With regard to TRM's musing on whether kids still use pen and paper and Yancy's question on social media and persistent communication: From what I've seen, such technologies have been adopted into instructional practices very slowly and not very organically in primary/secondary public education. How would you characterize the role the institution of public education is playing in modulating the impact of such media? | |

Paul From Minneapolis:
Do you believe in the monogenesis of language, i.e. that all languages come from a single source? | |

merritt ruhlen thinks so, but he's a whack job | |

Mon. 9/19/11 11:22pm
Paul From Minneapolis:
I had to ask this question, I'm a linguist myself. I believe in it but it's impossible to reconstruct this language because, as Bodah said, glottalchronology only gets you so far back in time 9the temporal ceiling). | |

Marmalade Kitty:
key being a figure of speech, maybe language is impotent..? | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 11:23pm
Nat the Parker:
is it fair to describe language as "choosing" to change? | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 11:25pm
American:
semantic changes in language *tend* to be chosen, sound changes tend to be less thought-through | |

Mon. 9/19/11 11:25pm
Richard Wadkins:
Could a theory of the evolution of language be informed by memetics? Or is the study of linguistics necessarily concerned with spoken sounds pre-meaning? | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 11:27pm
Yancy Grady:
Skipped my question :( Was is that bad? | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 11:27pm
Paul From Minneapolis:
Sound changes essentially happen due to the poverty of the stimulus, i.e. that children learning to speak their own native language internalize sound changes because they essentially mishear the sounds that they are listening to but do so in an orderly manner... this is an awesome show! | |
|
Mon. 9/19/11 11:29pm

this is the most offensively pretentious show that i have ever been subjected to. I praise it thousandfold. | |

@thom, meh. @yancy, sorry! we got lost in the mass of questions! @JMD, yeah, but do think that is the heartfelt but untrue story of the show, or what? | |

No worries. Great discussions regardless! | |
