  • It’s been a long time since my Field Methods, class, but I remember that (Central Atlas) Tamazight had some interesting pragmatics because it seemed to have both a nominal and verbal forms for adjectives, including color. We got some cool sayings that pertained to associating color and action.

    Alas, it was also a very BAD quality Field Methods class. Our prof couldn’t even figure out the region (because of poor elicitation choices) and it turns out the way the elicitation was being done, our consultant gave us SVO instead of the normal VSO 😭 (but still grammatically correct? But infelicitous). But you know, bad profs r a story for another time lol














  • Not commenting on the validity of the post, but what is the area of a circle doing there? The only explanation I could see for calculus is if their profits were reported to them in an unclear manner (probably not…?) and then doing an optimization problem, but what kind of information must they be giving you to need calculus rather than using like dimensional analysis or something (or maybe it’s a tiered system like tax brackets)
