Morphological Typology (illustrations from SpecGram)
Descriptions adapted from The Lingua File:
Analytic languages: also known as isolating languages because they’re composed of isolated, or free, morphemes. Free morphemes can be words on their own, such as cat or happy. Languages that are purely analytic in structure don’t use any prefixes or suffixes, ever. However, it’s rare to find a language that is purely analytic or synthetic since most languages have characteristics of both. Morphological typology is like a spectrum in which languages fit in somewhere from analytic to polysynthetic (a subtype of synthetic languages we’ll get to in a moment).Mandarin Chinese and Vietnamese are good examples of analytic languages. […] English, on the other hand, is one of the most analytic Indo-European languages, but is still usually classified as a synthetic language. […]Types of synthetic language (i.e. languages that have prefixes/suffixes):Fusional Languages: Similar to agglutinating languages, except that the morpheme boundaries are much more difficult to discern. Affixes are often fused with the stems, and can have multiple meanings. A prime example of a fusional language is Spanish, especially when it comes to verbs. In the wordhablo ”I speak”, the -o morpheme tells us that we’re dealing with a subject that is singular, first person, and in the present tense. It’s difficult to find a morpheme that means “speak”, however, since habl- is not a morpheme. Fusional languages can be tricky!Polysynthetic Languages: These languages are undoubtedly some of the most difficult to learn. They often have verbs that can express the entirety of a typical sentence in English, which they do by incorporating nouns into verbs forms. For example, the Sora language of India has one word that means “I will catch a tiger”. Many Native American languages are polysynthetic.

I know you think you’re being transgressive and edgy and bad-in-the-cool-way when you are careless with the trauma of strangers, but you’re not. You are being conservative. You are a conservative comedian. You are moving your art form backwards, you are a bully (a bully who has likely experienced bullying himself, which is the worst kind), and you are propping up the status quo in the most boring way possible. If that’s what you want, at least have the grace to own it.
“Open Letter To White Male Comedians” is pretty much fire throughout but, as someone pretty openly fascinated with transgressive/abrasive art, this one is a degree off from being Mission-Statement-Altering. (via raptoravatar)

Kanye West is wearing leather jackets with spikes in them, and wearing jeans with metal bands names on them…
can’t wait for every ghetto swag hoodrat to start dressing like metal heads.
Really can’t wait….All the kids who thought people like me were weird for wearing leather jackets or all black with metal band names mocked us.
I’ve been rocking the leather pants and metal band logo for as long as I can remember. Does this mean I’m a hipster and had “swag” before Kanye?
Its not the matter that he’s black. The issue is that he is a mainstream pop/hip-hop person so because of what he wears is “swag” to the mainstream sensation they’re all gonna wear these things which at one point which I was insulted for wearing all the time. So my problem is that I’m gonna see people who mocked me for wearing this attire are now wearing it cause its “hip”.shut up u piece of garbage
black n latin@ ppl have been wearing leather w/ spikes since u were born b. gangs in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s. u weren’t even of existence then.
go fuck urself pls.
Dear rocknroller25. Sweetheart. you young ignoramus. Just like rocknroll, white people appropriated this look too. No babes, it aint original to you all.
reblogging for the lulz that black people and people of color apparently didn’t dress like ‘punks’ back in the original days of punk. you know, never mind the fact that working-class English skinheads were obsessed with reggae, dancehall, ska (all black music!) and mingled with black people in England before it became “cool.” Nevermind the fact that skin punk, Oi!, ska, and other genres of punk rock were influenced by these musical styles & black people’s swag. Nevermind the fact that Latin@s were a huge part of the 1980s hardcore scene in Los Angeles (hey remember Alice Bag?), or that many white punks, such as Lydon and Strummer, were influenced by black people and different black musical styles. Nevermind that Poly Styrene (half English, half black) was one of the first pioneers of punk rock in the original days.
Also, NOBODY GIVES A SHIT if you wear a leather jacket with spikes. That’s your choice to dress how you want, but nobody will give you shit for being a black person with natural afro hair or dreadlocks, THEY are the ones who get shit from everyone for being black and natural. How about BLACK PUNKS who get more shit than you, for being black, for being punk, and for having an afro or dreadlocks?
And FYI, there are a lot of punks (both black and white, and Latin@ and other races) who happen to be “ghetto swag hoodrats.” It’s really nice of you to show your anti-classist bullshit. GTFO and STFU with your anti-black, anti-class BS.

Reblogging because this is my fuckin JAM and I stg Imma see if I can get this played at work….
it’s unfortunate that people don’t like to see you grow. they want you to be perfect and on point right now. but the journey towards that success is devalued. disrespected. mocked.
if folks see you when you’re ignorant or naive or immature about something they want to hold onto that forever instead of encouraging you to blossom.
when growth is what humans do. we should embrace it. not try to pretend like growth ain’t happening and that we’re gonna 100% stand by who we are now ten years in the future.
do you ever look at someone you used to be good friends with and cringe
Worse: I look at some people I’m still friends with and cringe.
