And so their language is Austronesian (like most south-east-Asian islands, except those around New Guinea). The Austronesian language family came from Taiwan, which again came from mainland China.
Existing Austronesian languages are all located on Taiwan; only one branch, whose name I have forgotten, spread from the island over the Philippines, Indonesia, Polynesia, and New Zealand; but also to the Malay peninsula and to Madagascar!
Likewise metaphor is condensation, coalescence of images, substitution of one figure for another
For Lacan, desire is a voracious lack that must be either displaced or substituted; these operations end up generating an unconscious signifying chain that (like the unconscious) leaves legible traces behind
> Most archaeologists estimate that the earliest settlers arrived in outrigger canoes from southern Borneo in successive waves throughout the period between 350 BCE and 550 CE, making Madagascar one of the last major landmasses on Earth to be settled by humans.
Jacques Marie Émile Lacan (; April 13, 1901 – September 9, 1981) was a French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist who made prominent contributions to psychoanalysis and philosophy, and has been called "the most controversial psycho-analyst since Freud". Lacan's post-structuralist theory rejected the belief that reality can be captured in language.
Giving yearly seminars in Paris from 1953 to 1981, Lacan influenced France's intellectuals in the 1960s and the 1970s, especially the post-structuralist philosophers. His interdisciplinary work was as a "self-proclaimed Freudian....'It is up to you ...
Because it's there.
There's always disasters (natural or human) to flee.
The desire to leave the territory can become overwhelming for a lot of reasons, really.
Well, a quick though -- it strikes me that most early exploration works alongside a war machine of some kind -- whether commercial, military or religious...
The point is new lands to conquer, new resources, new people, etc.
I mean, even if I knew where to go before I started, and tried dead reckoning by the stars -- I imagine with that distance I'd stand pretty poor chance of actually making it.
Lacan is interesting, but a lot of hot air sometimes. Even Zizek, who calls Lacan his master, says that Lacan's style is often a bluff, a game. He claims to read Lacan "classically," cutting through the style to the theoretical core.
(I mean, if I could stop off at Madagascar and replenish supplies, take a break, I'd totally do it.)
The Proto-Indo-European Urheimat hypotheses are tentative identifications of the range of the hypothetical Proto-Indo-European language with geographical regions over given times consistent with the glottochronology of the language tree, and of the implied culture with the archaeological cultures located at those places over those times. Identifications are made on the basis of how well, if at all, the projected migration routes and times of migration from the Urheimat, or primary homeland, fit the distribution of Indo-European languages, and how closely the sociological model of the origi...
@Cerberus Here is your proof that despite what certain dictionaries imply, Brits of at least some calibre do apply secondary stress to protons just as I would.
@tchrist Sure! Dawkins talks more on biology so I couldn't find one by him yet. Here is a BBC programme by Brain Cox and it sounds like he has kinda stressed it but I am not very sure. (I'm not used to the British Accent). So you should have a look. youtube.com/watch?v=-ZhZYtbPnag He started mentioning proton, neutron and electron at 08:43. — Arch2 hours ago
@Arch Good find: I like Brian Cox. And you’re right, he definitely sounds like he is stressing the word proton in a way that gives secondary stress on the second syllable. It is not reducing, and it is aspirated. Strikes me as pretty clear confirmation. — tchrist13 mins ago
Now, can we please stop bickering about how the British are “supposed” to speak and return to why that words gets secondary stress?
One problem with hot questions seems to be that there is no way for "hotness algorithm" to differentiate genuine popularity from fake one, that is from popularity introduced by the algorithm itself.
This is most likely what causes some questions to stick to the top for too long: the algorithm si...
Regarding the quality of movies, I am either horribly jaded or else insufficiently programmed by the media machine. I find almost every one of them to be wastes of time and money, that give little pleasure in balance with their annoyances.
Then there are DVDs with the no-fast-forward crap at the beginning. Who the fuck gets to say what I have to watch? That is so disgusting, evil, and wrong that I can almost see why people go postal.
I mean, cinema is masochism anyway. To pay big bucks for being surrounded by people munching like pigs, interrupted only by stupid commentary or laughter at the most inopportune moments.
You know, people of the folkses’ generation used to go to the cinema just to see the shorts at the beginning, kinda like warm-up bands at a pop music event.
I forget what they call those. Not warm-up bands. You know what I mean.
Now I am reading a book written in English. In the book there is a sentence: "Our initial version of Cauchy's theorem begins with the observation that is suffices that f(z)(a function) have a primitive in a region(the book denote with a greek symbol Omega)"
in this sentence, I think the author w...
@tchrist This is totally irrelevant. You are pretending that I said anything about stress. It is the ASPIRATED T that you denied, and now you are creating a huge strawman, as usual. Just admit defeat when its boots are standing on your face.
@tchrist In short, the t is always aspirated in words like photo and batter in RP, and so proton is not irregular. Your question should therefore be tagged according to those regional variant(s) of English in which it is valid, which includes american-english.
