Five stages for the development of postcolonial Englishes

Scenario: The world is Your Petri Dish
Scientist mixing 2 bacteria into 1 agar dish.

Phase 1: foundation - dialect mixture and koineization (for locations with multiple dialect inputs)
process by which a new variety of a language emerges from the mixing, leveling, and simplifying of different dialects. Also known as dialect mixing and structural nativization.


Phase 2: exonormative stabilisation a British-plus' identity for the English-speaking residents when the colony is established and has secured its position vis à vis the colonial home country, mostly England (though this was the United States in the case of The Philippines)

Phase 3: nativisation involving the emergence of local patterns, often associated with political independence or the striving for this

Phase 4: endonormative stabilization, e.g. 'national self-confidence with codification, usually soon after independence

Phrase 5: differentiation - the birth of new dialects, internal developments now linked to internal socioethnic distribution processes

She says she wants to know him, but there's literally nothing in his head

Interpreting his actions based on her system?


show me your cards!
he's playing with playdoh
UH-..Uh.. and then he finds random cards...this is My friend. These are my issues...but all impromptu

general: the guy does, the girl thinks 

-girl view feeling guys as thinkers.. compared to them


guys ultimately hold relationships as contracts of doing, even if they say otherwise (which is a byproduct of unawareness)

guys view the doing that has an end - a spurt built for power

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...

7 WAYS for achieving your purpose

 CHOOSE YOUR DIRECTION make use of free will.   Jesus and the blind man. Why does Jesus ask him what he wants when it is obvious he want to see? Choose area (learning, marriage, finance, friendships) of importance to you, and make 3-10 goals. What measurable  and compelling goal is possible? Set the goal, and then you have the direction. Reticular activating system: it helps you find whatever you are focusing on.  E.g. Search for blue items. Okay, how many purple items are there? you don't know. Because you only focus on what you look for. Your brain gets excited and get power the moment it knows what direction it is about to take. Decide  your exact deadline when you will achieve it. Also, ascertain what you want to sacrifice . (time/money/patience/difficult situations) The price will be  "Where there is no vision, people perish"-Solomon  CHOOSE YOUR REASONS Do you have insight to yourself? Be a person of deep water, look deeper. Introspect. What...

Conflating the liberty of freedom and burden of choice, and finding the balance in between

"...the individual ceases to be himself; he adopts entirely the kind of personality offered to him by cultural patterns; and he therefore becomes exactly as all others are and as they expect him to be...The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious any more. But the price he pays, however, is high; it is the loss of his self." -Escape From Freedom by Erich Fromm, first published by Holt, Rineheart and Winston, New York, 1941. http://www.alternativeinsight.com/Escape_from_freedom.html and then comes the question many strive to answer; what do we risk to lose when we are already in an individualised state of mind? Even more, i think. The attraction of the self makes it even harder to conform, whilst the pressure for conformity never ceases—in fact the pressure exponentially increases—staring you down through that bright screen all day and for most of the night. Freedo...
