Heeeey not to show up 15 minutes late with Starbucks, but have people talked about semantic satiation with regards to Ted yelling the word "practice" over and over again at Jamie? That means something, right?

Spinning (A Poem)

Spinning for days

Afraid to stop spinning

Because then my spinning

Was spun for nothing

Am I choosing to spin

If I’m afraid to stop spinning

Am I faking my dizziness

If I choose to spin

Well probably not

But then have I caused my own spins

I think I’m going to be sick

But did I cause this sick

If I’m the one spinning

did I spin this sick

And choose this sick

Why would I do that

spin myself sick

I must want to be spun until sick

If I can stop spinning

Then I must be choosing to spin

So I keep spinning

but then doesn’t that mean

I’m choosing to spin

Choosing to be sick

If I think I must keep spinning

For the spinning to be involuntary

Then is the thinking I must keep spinning in my control

Until I’m spinning and spinning and spinning to spun until spinning has spun all meaning

Every now and then, I re-read a fic and wonder "Why haven't I been back here? This is fantastic". It doesn't take long for me to run into why. By the time I'm thinking that, my memory's caught up and I see why I haven't bookmarked the story or sorted it onto a spreadsheet. Semantic exhaustion. I found myself noticing certain words popping up in overuse across stories. I can never predict when this will happen. It's not something that's avoidable in the same way that tropes are. Sometimes, it seems like a bunch of writers hit on the need for a word other than nipple, and that word ends up being "nub". Other times, "spend" gets used everywhere, and not for monetary exchange for goods. This time, it was the word "cuddle". I hit that one-too-many incident of "cuddle" in a story and I was done. I don't know how to get around this.

Sesuatu Saat Mengulang-ulang Kata

Ini berawal saat saya membuka Tumblr dan membaca judul blog saya sendiri, "Range of Reflections." Saya kemudian berpikir untuk memiliki satu identitas yang menggambarkan saya. Tapi, apa?

Saat itu "wortel" tiba-tiba terlintas di kepala saya.

Perempuan wortel? Wortel? Sejujurnya, saya tidak menyukai wortel dalam berbagai bentuk olahan, kecuali mentah.

Kemudian, semakin diulangi, semakin terdengar asing.

Wortel, wortel, wortel, wortel wortel wortel.

Loh, kok?

Pernah nggak kamu tiba-tiba merasa asing dan seperti kehilangan makna saat mengulang-ulang suatu kata? Tampak sepele, ya, namun memiliki implikasi mendalam.

Ternyata, dalam psikologi kognitif dan linguistik, fenomena ini dikenal sebagai "semantic satiation." Ini terjadi karena otak kita mulai mengabaikan sinyal-sinyal yang dihasilkan oleh kata tersebut akibat paparan yang berulang-ulang.

Sebagai contoh, jika kita mengambil kata "wortel" dan mengulanginya berkali-kali—"wortel wortel wortel"—kita akan merasakan perubahan persepsi terhadap kata tersebut. Awalnya, kata "wortel" jelas merujuk pada sayuran berwarna oranye yang sering digunakan dalam berbagai masakan. Namun, setelah beberapa kali pengulangan, otak kita mulai melihatnya sebagai sekumpulan bunyi asing yang tidak memiliki makna yang signifikan.

Fenomena ini menunjukkan betapa fleksibelnya otak kita dalam memproses bahasa. Makna dari kata-kata ternyata bisa berubah-ubah, tergantung pada seberapa sering dan dalam konteks apa mereka digunakan. Semantic satiation ini tampaknya memberikan gambaran bagaimana kita memproses dan memahami bahasa sehari-hari, serta bagaimana otak kita bisa "bosan" dengan sesuatu yang diulang-ulang.

Has anyone else ever changed their username to a Taylor Swift lyric that rung in your mind and woke up the next day to not recognize it at all nor it's origin discographically?
