      A girlfriend once said to me, “I don’t like the fact that the word ‘gay’ has changed its meaning.” She was born in the mid-80s when it changed already, so I think people have an inherent sense that you can’t just fuck with the language. There’s an essence that reasserts itself.

      Language evolves, there is no way around this, but being bare witness to the changes of a word can definitely be a frustration

      I don’t know the answer to this, but what if there’s a connection between the essence of a thing and the very sound? This is apparent in onomatopoeia. What if every word is onomatopoeic to an extent?

      Replying to @tomxhart

      As much as I have distaste for his influence on linguistics/semiotics and to a more tenuous extent pomo, Saussure debunked the idea that onomatopoeia has inherent meaningful properties or "semes" (units of semantic meaning)

      Replying to @jbthazard @tomxhart

      Just due to physiology and a shared need for common concepts I think its fair to say most languages will have sounds that seem to project certain concepts but the connection between acoustics and information is heavily overstated.

      When I remember the essay Saussure discussed this I'll mention it here

      I haven’t read him since school, and even then I probably only read one famous essay or book. And it’s probably the essay/book that you’re talking about, since the concept seems familiar. Still, I think there’s a natural resistance to phoney political language.

          I hope so but humans seem incapable of not surprising me with an inexhaustible amount of cognitive biases

          Pay attention to what they do, not what they say.
