a quaint, female-only education establishment. And if you say it means an attractive pre-teen's school you are not accepting the long-established adjective-ordering system we use in english. This might be because spanish doesn't necessarily have an order for adjectives. Simply foreign influence.

context is this thread, and interpretation is limited to default and ""expected""
configurations. Try Ithkuil if you swing that way though. The "missing" semantic information from your example was part of the considerations of this study.

true, but I'd argue that ease of reading and writing comes into play when talking about an efficient way to communicate with everyone. English is pretty messy and is very hard to solve for foreigners.

English is far better both scientifically and poetically, but Korean is far better for average communication, but using English words when speaking Korean is common these days.

If it's a "pretty school" for "little girls" or a "pretty little school" for "girls", "girls" needs an apostrophe. If it's a "school" for a "pretty little girl", there needs to be an apostrophe between "girl" and "s". There needs to be an apostrophe somewhere, unless it's "A...girls school", but you need to define what a "girls school" is, because it's not a school FOR girls, that would be a girls' school.

I'm not familiar with this study or its methodology, so I won't claim that it doesn't bear useful application or insight, but it doesn't by any means put English as anyhow suprerior to other languages for discourse.

I think nearly every language is built around some paradigm that inherently expresses certain concepts more intuitively, quickly, and robustly than others. As a rule, if a language is not efficient, it will change rapidly to accommodate the average speaker.

the 2 extremes are chinese and japanese
chinese: every syllable is a word; missing even one syllable causes the sentence to lose its meaning, so you are forced to speak slower
japanese: like coding, there is a lot of useless syllables, but necessary; missing a bunch of them is fine (as long the other other party acknowledges its existence), so you speak faster
english: a fair balance, can afford to swallow some words, can afford to speak fast; hence, efficient

No, in the literal sense of degeneracy: falling apart.

Greek sounds like it does today because of spirantisation. It used to have hard sounds, plosives. It used to sound like one of those bongo-bongo languages. then the Great Slurring happened.

what do you think about extreme kresowiak or just russian accent in Polish?

also ukrainian Russian is more softer for me and I really get the accent differences

Saying girls any differently then girl's is unneeded with context. i'm not saying more or less complexity is bad. I have always grown up pronouncing caught and cot the same. although i do know how to pronounce caught the old way. nothing wrong with using tone and inflection pitch and so forth to convey meaning
but the sentence i was originally replying to the sentence "a little girls school" and you need context or to understand properly.

Just Girls and girl's is a very bad example to use because it seems not every english speaker say it the same. i don't need them to be said any differently i just need the context of reading say a book that sentence is in or knowing the person i'm talking too.

I heard this song yet, but didn't know about the movie

Understandable for the most part, clearly having trouble with pronouncing "ś", definitely can hear Russian accent in some parts, sort of muffled.

i need to provide a good example of a sound that needs to be spoken in context to understand? too, two, to.
>>
>>127945783
I can pronounse polish ś, but in ści I prefer to pronounce it like in Russian and some Polish native speakers pronunce it like soft s, no sz too

this sounds horrible now that i read it again, perhaps donc j'appris pour travail?
>>
>>127945783
what the fuck is the difference between si and sz? They both sound like sh to me. Same goes for your equivalent to english ch/j sounds
>>
>>127946336
that doesn't even need 2 be in context! case in point. It's such a common mistake because it's differentiable by word class: adverb, noun, locative particle.
>>
>>127942970
arabic is a pretty cool language tbqh my family
>>
>>127946818
if i spoke those three words outloud you to you, yes you would need context.
>>
>>127946684
ś - śpię - I'm sleeping
si - siła - force
and there's sz, which is like sh eg. pszenica - wheat

sz isn't anything like sz desu, I don't know linguistics enough make an equivalent in English, maybe there isn't any. It's a very soft "s", sort of.

i need to spoke less weed, or more...

>>127941878
Spanish is too ubiquitous. Any product or software application that would require English has a Spanish translation. similar story with French in Europe.
>>
>>127947008
That context would be a sentence. Which is why...ah I give up again.
>>
>>127947069
>sz isn't anything like sz desu
I meant ś

Maybe "si" it's more like "see"
siła - see'wa

Kind of works xD I guess you'd have to learn it by hearing and trying to repeat
>>
>>127947117
but you asked me to provide a better example of something that would need more context to understand the meaning of... :( It's supposed to be confusing without context.
>>
>>127932262
Our information density is artificially boosted by our lazy habits of leaving out words and ideas if we assume someone already knows the context

compare this to the Japanese habit of making long-ass sentences
>>
>>127947069
sz is like the "sh" sound if you say "tree", between the t and the r.

not just like, it is physically the same sound, a voiceless retroflex sibilant.

>>127947404
I meant the full shebang, write me a screenplay or something. You know what maybe it's me who needs to smoke a bit more weed.

some of that super old ancient hebrew was incorp'd into some magic chanting shit about how V-8's should be getting 60mpg by now.. they were forever trying to turn dung into gold as well. they still do that shit today to decide the fate of us tax payers!
>>
>>127947558
i'd hook you up but i don't deliver that far.
>>
>>127947443
Yes that's what I meant.

But not "ś" or "si", those are different from "sz".

well yeah. in english you say "how a gay person says Shh!" for the alveopalatal sibilant.

Fpbp op is right. No need to argue

Kek, it doesn't sound gay, more like cute.

But a lisp is what Spanish from Spain do, unlike their colonies:

languages with higher syllable rate requires redundancy for listener clarity. noun gender satisfies this criteria in many undo European languages

>>127947413
No its the opposite. English is very precise. Japanese is so inefficient daily Japanese requires context and purposeful ambiguity.
>>
>>127932262
Cuck language. Perfectly embodies the Germanic spirit; all efficiency, zero sense of beauty and soul. Latin should become the international one again.
I'll admit it's a pretty comfy language tho. Lots of things you can say which are impossible to translate in other tongues.

English is not the same language it was 100 years ago, the poetry of it is gone. It has become a crude pidgin language that has assimilated words from other languages because it is too lazy to come up with its own.
>>
Languages are all the same in how fast they convey information. That paper has bad methodology.
>>
>>127934485
That's why English is not only good, but the best of all languages. Ever. The Lord's tongue of the Englishman was a gift to this world.

All other languages are shit, gay, and backwards.

>Japanese has the highest rate
>common convention in Japanese media is redundancy and mechanical/autistic descriptions of unnatural body gesture
They do it just to fuck with everyone, I swear.

You would know even more had you not given up on your nationbuilding(and eventually exported it to Western Moldova and/or the rest of Romania).

>>127932262
I noticed this too. It truely takes far longer to get across a point in Spanish. That being said, English vocabulary and grammar is just poor. For simple communication it's great, but you can't be very creative with it.
