Two line graphs side-by-side illustrate linguistic sentiment shifts from 1860 to 1980. Graph (a) "Lean becomes more positive": Shows the word "lean" undergoing amelioration. Its sentiment score rises over time as it becomes more semantically similar to "muscular" and less similar to "weak." Graph (b) "Pathetic becomes more negative": Shows the word "pathetic" undergoing pejoration. Its sentiment score declines as it becomes more semantically similar to "weak" and less similar to "passionate." Both graphs use red lines for sentiment and blue lines (solid and dashed) to represent semantic similarity to related words.

This article finds that 5% of sentiment-bearing words switched polarity between 1850 and 2000. Examples include "lean" (weak > masculine) and "pathetic" (passionate > weak).

Sorry, maar ik vind niet dat overheidsbureaucratie zich op enigerlei wijze door Kafka moet laten inspireren.

Dat is heel nuttig!

Yes they do

There certainly can be (and some of the Buffalo linguists that I know about do so), but lots of places are mostly into formal theories and psycholinguistic cognitive stuff

Doesn’t sound too bad

It used to be the nr 1 program for that in the US from what I have heard

(PS did you ever checked out Buffalo NY? It has very good linguistics - or maybe rather: linguists; I don’t know anything about their program)

Indiana just ditched their oriental programs didn’t they?

Indeed!

I wish you the best! Stay safe!

Sure!

I guess it is different in every single country (and possibly per university). Normally grad school and MA are separate things, and you cannot apply for a grad school without an MA.

I assume that you can apply for different MA’s even at the same university- at least this is how it works in NL

Callers to Washington state hotline press 2 for Spanish and get accented AI English instead Callers to Washington state’s driver’s license agency who select automated service in Spanish are instead hearing an AI voice speaking English with a strong Spanish accent.

Tangentially, as you put me on track of Da Bears, I think the man interviewed in this documentary (from about 11:45) is also speaking in that kind of accent am I right?

Even when pronounced with a [k], macrauchenia may be my favorite word in English
