So i’m finally rewatching vrains episode 4 for my screenshot redraws and I realised something, in almost all of Go Onizuka’s duels theres a plot point of him nearing disqualification because he struggled to stand up after loosing some life points, like it happens to him more than anyone else.

Anywayss I have decided that he used to be an actual wrestler, and an injury from a fight gave him issues with walking/balance so he took up duelling instead, that doesn’t mean that it isnt still difficult for him to do the physical part of speed duelling. Explains why hes the only one that had to physically train in order to try out speed duelling too

[bryan360]

Nice moment during May 1st of 2013 that he shared. Wonder how well they get along; especially after first time they’ve met.

(BTW, I got nothing to bring something from May 1st; via “On This Day” post. I tried hard to search throughout my photo app or my blog/page, but they always be next time. Hopefully for tomorrow.)

House of Leaves, Chapter 9; P. 120-145

So the characters knocked a hole in my book.¹ We'll call this part the Descent, even though it happened after the literal descent down the stairs.

I... think? It's impossible to tell what the hell is going on. The side bars and this insert box are growing into ever-longer lists of nonsense. I feel very sure that people far more patient than I have gone through them and added their significance to their literary critique. I, however, choose to regard them as winding passages in a labyrinth. Useless information trying to drag me away from the goal ahead by promising something this book constantly teases you with. Understanding.

And these side-passages just keep getting worse, too. They're at all angles and intersect what little "normal text" there is left. I feel like I'm looking for Holloway in here. Hell if I know why at this point, maybe it's more accurate to say I'm looking for Jed and Wax. They haven't shot anyone in a paroxysm of panic.²

These parts with Hallway³ feel like an ongoing commentary on machismo. While Will has his eyes on him as the biggest threat in the room, it's actually Wax who kisses Karen in secret. In this same vein, Hallway is the first one to let his fears and insecurities overwhelm him. Turning it into mindless violence against his own... friends? Not friends, I feel like if they were then this wouldn't have happened and that's kind of the point.

I can imagine what this means for him. It seems that things in the house waste away when they're out of sight, out of mind.⁴ You think that there's some Minotaur running around wrecking it, but it might just be the pain of forgetting. Like words wearing away on a page. Of course... there might still be a Minotaur, I don't know for certain, but the thought of being forgotten in the endless cold is the more frightening of the two.

Slight fear of the cold here, it took a lot of work to get to a point I could deal with it normally again. Once again the house has targeted my old fears, digging them up and putting them in front of me in just the most horrific sorts of ways. But the quiet kind. It's just passages and walls and the dark. The liminal horror on display is incredible, in both concept and execution. The insane formatting only further immerses me in being lost as fuck down here.

Do I even want to talk about Johnny's interlude? It certainly adds to the visual noise of the house but I couldn't focus on it at all. Like his words are just another one of those trick paths that's keeping me from going forward. Yet it's also the last "solid ground" for the remainder of this part of the live read. Everything after begins to devolve into random asides and footnotes. there are passages about Magellan and Hudson and photograph manipulation and... It's just a wall of vaguely thematic absurdity. Even Johnny gets in on it with TNT.⁵ Even as the hole int he wall describing how un-house-like the house is fades into darkness. The only thing that it's definitely not lacking.

We'll continue our exploration, or escape, next time. I'm sorry for breaking it down to this degree but I find that I have a lot to say in these intervals.

on reconstruction and historical linguistics

to follow up on today's reblog, i want to comment briefly on the apparent misapprehension that linguistic reconstruction is just guesswork with a fancy name, because that's not accurate!

reconstruction is based on specific, well-attested constraints of linguistic development. we know from centuries of investigation that languages tend to change in predictable ways. we also have a decent understanding of the complexities introduced by phenomena like language contact, which can result in borrowing on multiple structural levels. our methods are well established and borne out by evidence.

comparative reconstruction involves applying these known constraints ("rules") in reverse on a collected body of words in related descendant languages. when possible, we also incorporate historical written evidence, which often provides midpoint references for changes in progress. it is always recognized by historical linguists that reconstruction can be imperfect; we cannot know what information has been lost.

the results of reconstruction can be mixed, but i'll let campbell (2013:144) explain:

How Realistic are Reconstructed Proto-languages? The success of any given reconstruction depends on the material at hand to work with and the ability of the comparative linguist to figure out what happened in the history of the languages being compared. In cases where the daughter languages preserve clear evidence of what the parent language had, a reconstruction can be very successful, matching closely the actual spoken ancestral language from which the compared daughters descend. However, there are many cases in which all the daughters lose or merge formerly contrasting sounds or eliminate earlier alternations through analogy, or lose morphological categories due to changes of various sorts. We cannot recover things about the proto-language via the comparative method if the daughters simply do not preserve evidence of them. In cases where the evidence is severely limited or unclear, we often make mistakes. We make the best inferences we can based on the evidence available and on everything we know about the nature of human languages and linguistic change. We do the best we can with what we have to work with. Often the results are very good; sometimes they are less complete. In general, the longer in the past the proto-language split up, the more linguistic changes will have accumulated and the more difficult it becomes to reconstruct with full success. (emphasis mine)

or, to quote labov's (1982:20) pithier if less optimistic approach:

Historical linguistics may be characterized as the art of making the best use of bad data, in the sense that the fragments of the literary record that remain are the results of historical accidents beyond the control of the investigator.

in sum, historical linguists are very realistic about what we can achieve, but the confidence we do have is genuinely well earned, because linguistics is a scientific field and we treat our investigations with rigor.
