English is a crazy language, why do we bother studying it?
« on: June 05, 2008, 05:12:50 AM »
For lovers of the English Language

1) The bandage was *wound* around the *wound*.

2) The farm was used to *produce* *produce*.

3) The dump was so full that it had to *refuse* more *refuse*.

4) We must *polish* the *Polish* furniture.

5) He could *lead* if he would get the *lead* out.

6) The soldier decided to *desert* his dessert in the *desert*.

7) Since there is no time like the *present*, he thought it was time to *
present* the *present*

8) A *bass* was painted on the head of the *bass* drum.

9) When shot at, the *dove* *dove* into the bushes.

10) I did not *object* to the *object.*

11) The insurance was *invalid* for the *invalid*.

12) There was a *row* among the oarsmen about how to *row*

13) They were too *close* to the door to *close* it.

14) The buck *does* funny things when the *does* are present.

15) A
seamstress and a *sewer* fell down into a *sewer* line.

16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his *sow* to *sow*.

17) The *wind* was too strong to *wind* the sail

18) Upon seeing the *tear* in the painting I shed a *tear*.

19) I had to *subject* the *subject* to a series of tests.

20) How can I *intimate* this to my most *intimate* friend?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant,
nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins
weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are
candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for
granted But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work
slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor
is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce

and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural
of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2
indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them,
what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats
vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English
speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what
language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and
send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a
wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a
language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill
in
a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the
creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That
is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are
out, they are invisible.

PS. - Why doesn't "Buick" rhyme with "quick"

You lovers of the English language might enjoy this
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other
two-letter word, and that is "UP."

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the
list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP? At a meeting,
why does a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for
election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?

We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the
silver, we
warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the
house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has
real special meaning. People stir UPtrouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an
appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing, but to be
dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped
UP. We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.

We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP! To be knowledgeable about the proper
uses of UP, look the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary,
it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty
definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the
many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't
give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain,
we say it is
clouding UP. When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.

When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.

When it doesn't rain for awhile, things dry UP.

One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now my time is UP ,
so.......... . it is time to shut UP..

Samut ka riot ang English ani, Grace... Bitaw, diri sa Japan, three years ago, naay placement agency nagpatabang nako mag-recruit ug Filipino English teachers. Daghan kaayo kug nadawat nga phone inquiries, which was the best way for me to pre-qualify the applicants. Kay naa man gani ni tawag, "Ser, mi I apply as inglis tetcher?" (with Ilongo accent)

If English is crazy, then all others will be. That "craziness" is a unique characteristic of every language.  In linguistics, that property is called arbitrary. Language's symbols are arbitrary. We have to understand that language (of any kind and origin) follows distinct symbols like phonemes (sound), morphemes (words) and syntax (sentences). However, the symbols (like gramatical rules and words) are based on an "agreed-upon" words to represent things, qualities, etc. and do not have direct relationship to the thing it is representing.

Example: Why do we call dog "DOG" when in fact the name seems to be irrelevant to the animal? Why can't we name it "BOW-WOW" which is, I think, more relevant because we hear them bark with that sound?

We call our capital city Tagbilaran not because of those so many myths and legends behind its name (which could be true) but because the word is the agreed name for the place. That shows the arbitrariness of language. In the end, we will understand that the main reason why we have language is for us to communicate and not just to name all those things and qualities around us.

Notice the deafs and mutes when they communicate using sign language, we could observe that most of the signs are not relevant to what they stand for. 

BTW, the post was so funny but it would help language teachers help the learners learn language better.

Well said, Jose. Well said.

I like that, "arbitrariness" of language. haha! I raise  my cup of tea to that!

Not "bow-bow" but "arf! arf!" in English, scientist believe that animals from different locations have different languages too.

English is a crazy language with a crazy poem.
                     A youth
               
                       Oh thin youth
                       Sailing in the bay lot
                       Singing the bee song
                       Moving the low boat
                       A youth here
                       A youth there
                       A youth anywhere
                        How wonderful
                         Being a youth.

                       Oh thin youth                         =            Niwang nga batan-on (way gikaon)
                       Sailing in the bay lot                =            Yuta sa baybayon
                       Singing the bee song               =            Dagan kay naay putyukan
                       Moving the low boat                =            Sakayan nga mubo
                       A youth here                          =            Batan-on dire
                       A youth there                         =            Batan-on didto
                       A youth anywhere                   =            Bantan-on maskin asa
                        How wonderful                       =            O kaanyag
                         Being a youth                       =             Sa mga Batan-on
