I see

Oh

Is are possible there?

And read Croft's Radical Construction Grammar, where he claims lexical categories and grammatical relations are basically b.s.

Come. To the Functionalist Side.

Ha!

The department is going to build a new one with PoS tagging soon, if I'm not mistaken.

Thai National Corpus. It's the best we have, but ... er, not good enough...

Would have to look at corpus to confirm this though

In this case it's probably frequency. ใจกลาง and กลางใจ are somewhat poetic. Chances are people would use ณ with them more.

Even if ค and ง are somehow unacceptable, I wouldn't think it has anything to do with syntax, but either semantics or frequency. (Well, you could argue I've been brainwashed to take a functionalist stance)

Oh these two are super fine.

จ and ฉ are fine.

ค and ง are weird, but I wouldn't say they're ungrammatical.

Nope. Seem all fine to me.

I work too much with Thai, in which the only sort of ungrammaticality (as a purely syntactic error) I can think of is something like arranging SVO as SOV...

Well.... I dunno. I'm not even sure there's a neat line between ungrammaticality and other sorts of unacceptability.

What do you mean by a program?

@DamkerngT. I'm not sure about grammaticality (people seem to use that differently), but it's most likely unacceptable, unless one construes arrive as durative (which is most of the time weird, but given specific contexts might work.) Most of the time arrive's lexical aspect is achievement (in Vendler's classification). It's punctual. That's why it doesn't occur with a Container temporal adverbial (for + time).

Like I said, I disagree with that analysis.

It's just that I seem to recall someone calling it a conjunction.

@snailplane Me too.

uh-huh

But I'm sure there are people who think that :-)

Me neither.

I don't agree with the analysis anyway.

If that's the case then let's not accept now as a conjunction. I'm fine with that.

@DamkerngT. Yes, I think that's the contrast the writer was trying to illustrate.

That's why I said I think the writer meant for the first one to be temporal. The other not.

Yes, both could be temporal.

I don't think the second example is temporal.

Or at least meant to be temporal.

This now is temporal, I think.

> Now I need to pull my pie out of the oven.

I mean, at least that's what I think the writer meant.

Well

@DamkerngT. I think the first one has a different meaning.

@DamkerngT. If you count "so" in "So, what have you got?" as a conjunction, then that "now" is probably a conjunction too.

Really?

> Only which (not that) occurs after prepositions

(Yes, linguists are crazy people trying to dig into the mind and describe what we use unconciously)

@DamkerngT. I think grammar, in the sense used in linguistics, is not conciously used. "Familiarity" is the result of having grammar in your head (if you're a native speaker). Analogy is one of the main ways, emphasized most perhaps in a usage-based account, that native speakers construct the knowledge that is grammar.

I don't use post-Jobs Apple products.

Understandable, but doesn't make me feel any safer.

One of my developer friends said sometimes an app requests so many permissions just because the developers are too lazy to update the part when they want to implement new features that require extra permissions.

@Arrowfar It's going okay. Thanks for asking :-)

I don't feel safe 5555

Could have been part of some big surveillance project.

The app requests almost every possible permission.
