Conversational Analysis

 Talk cannot be analysed because it was too unstructured and random. So we focus more research on written text.

But then Conversation analysis proves that there is order in talk (systematic)—we’re analysing the ”mundane”, the routine. Each practice like greetings, pauses, and appropriate actions for each different context. Conversations automatically adheres to either convention/or lack thereof, but ultimately conversation is orderly. No matter what you say, it will fitted into sense and meaning. When we hear something uttered/not uttered, we can expect something to follow in its path. We can predict this because of past experience.


We can generalise an encounter when we analyse extensive records through extremely detailed transcripts (pitch, tone, pauses, stuttering, all the messiness of discourse)


Turn-taking, a Dance that unfolds over time: in conversation structures. (TRP) transition relevance place= point in conversation indicating a change of turn (usually unconscious) —can be mis-projected.


Structures

-Adjacency: agreeing appealing to faces/or not

-Repairs: in conversation initiated and repaired by self or others


Field of Researcher Bias

It is a convention that when you want to continue your turn, and someone is interjecting, you can raise your voice and speak faster,

But the reverse, which is a continuation of speech in the same manner disregarding the interjected could also be valid, but that lack of speeding up and getting louder also represents a certain projection; could be calm command, not wanting to seem aggressive, a projection of stability etc.

ABSURDISM, EXISTENTIALISM, FREE WILL, POSTMODERNISM

 After the war, Introduction The first world war threw society into a state of disillusionment, and a fracturing of the staunch belief in morals became prominent, sparking literary advancements that challenged romantic ideals, advocating for a new perception of stability and sensibilities. In the poem Gerontion by T.S. Elliot, the modernist stance of fragmentation and the pursuit of purpose lies in man’s actualization of himself. Meanwhile, Samuel Beckett’s waiting for Godot written in the post-war environment of World War II can be viewed as an attack on modernism, rejecting its ideological claims to legitimise purposeful meaning that interprets the world of Estragon and Vladimir with a Grand Existential Narrative . Nonetheless, both these arguments provide a post-war lens that views life without inherent importance nor singular purpose/essence, resulting in the rise of ‘absurdism’— a search for answers in a world that offers no true answer . In this essay, the aforementioned conc...

Bredlik

 https://yeahwrite.me/writing-help-bredlik/ Bredlik isn’t as easy as it looks, folks. It’s a very tight form with very tight parameters. Technically bredlik is four lines (two rhyming couplets) in iambic tetrameter, or two stanzas of four lines each in iambic diameter with an ABCB rhyme scheme. The other thing that bredlik has going on is that the original poet took inspiration for the poem not only from the incident but from the fact that it happened in a re-enactor setting. So he used 18th century spellings (or reasonable facsimiles thereof) for some of the words.

Manglish and its Cina Particles

"The ubiquitous word lah ( [lɑ́]   or   [lɑ̂] ), used at the end of a sentence, can also be described as a particle that simultaneously asserts a position and entices solidarity.  Note that 'lah' is often written after a space for clarity, but there is never a pause before it. This is because originally in Malay, 'lah' is appended to the end of the word and is not a separate word by itself." SNEAKING SUSPICION: "lah" was originally from the Cantonese practicing south of China. The land of Malaya had relations with China since the Ming dynasty, when China was the protector of the Malaccan Sultanate (maybe even from the 5th-6th century), and the use of la as a sentence-suffix particle got integrated into the Malay language its formation, probably during the second phase is Early Modern Malay (1500-ca. 1850) that witnessed the indigenization of Arabic loan words, changes in the affix system, and a rather liberal word order.  Confirmation alternatives: ...
