Why We Don’t Chat Chit About Flop Flips

From the E-mail newsletter “Now I Know”

“English is largely made up of the rules we don’t know that we know,” 

In English, adjectives typically come before the nouns they modify -- e.g. "large cat," not "cat large." That rule is generally well known and easily articulated and is even likely taught in school. But what's less well known -- and typically not explicitly taught -- is that adjectives typically follow an order among themselves. That is, native English speakers tend to intuitively order adjectives the same way despite not having been formally taught any rules on how to do so. In the book The Elements of Eloquence author Mark Forsyth explains:

[A]djectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac. It’s an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out. And as size comes before color, great green dragons can’t exist.

It really is something we take for granted. For example, take the children’s tale “Little Red Riding Hood” -- she not “Red Little Riding Hood, as “size” has to come before “color.” And similarly, it’s the story of a good little girl going to her grandmother’s house, not of a little good girl doing the same -- “opinion” has to come before “size”. The rule works -- and all the time.

Well, almost all the time.

Forsyth's book came out in 2013 but it went viral three years later when a New York Times writer named Matthew Anderson tweeted the paragraph above. Bemused social media mavens shared the tweet more than 50,000 times because it's almost always true, and because they almost never realized it beforehand. But some of those 50,000 noticed a problem. Take another look at the second Little Red Riding Hood example. She’s a "good little girl," right? So, what about the Big Bad Wolf? Given the rules above, the antagonist of that same story should be the “bad big wolf” -- but he isn’t. Why does the “opinion-size” part of the rule work for Riding Hood but fail for the Wolf?

The short answer, as Forsyth explains, is another rule -- one which takes priority over the one Anderson quoted.

That rule pairs with something called “ablaut reduplication.” Reduplication means, simply, that we take one sound and repeat it. You can probably think of a few examples, but if not: trains go “choo choo,” kids go “pee-pee,” and at times, we depart with a “bye-bye.” Reduplication doesn’t require that all the sounds in the root word be repeated, though; while those three terms are examples of “exact reduplication,” there are other versions as well. “Ablaut” refers to a change in vowels and therefore, “ablaut reduplication” is when most of the word is the same but the vowel changes. Here’s a short list of some examples:

pitter patter hip hop knickknack ding dong zigzag jibber jabber badda-bing, badda-bang, badda-boom

By and large, those are nonsense words which, reduplicated with a vowel change, become something meaningful. Flip the order of the reduplicated words, though, and they’re nonsense yet again. You don’t zagzig through a crowd. Frere Jacques’ morning bells don’t go dong dang ding. And Mr. T really ain’t got time for no jabber jibber. It all makes sense in our heads, for some reason.

And if you look carefully, you’ll see a ruleset within those terms. The word with “i” comes first, followed by the one with “a” and then with “o” in the rear -- this happens 100% of the time. Take a totally nonsense word -- let's say "glank," to literally make up a word -- and apply ablaut reduplication. "Glink glank" sounds right, "glank glink" sounds off. This rule, unlike the adjective-ordering one, is immutable -- and therefore, it applies to proper nouns, too. As a result, we have tic tacs, King Kong, and yes, the Big Bad Wolf.

Why do we do this? We don’t know. Forsyth,

writing for the BBC, noted that this is the “subject of endless debate among linguists” with no satisfying explanation to date. But, he points out, maybe the “why” doesn’t matter: “English is largely made up of the rules we don’t know that we know,” and yet, that hasn’t stopped us from chit-chatting with one another.

Sona finds herself feeling exceedingly groggy, body and head heavy, throbbing. She struggles to see through cracked eyes, searching for her Etwahl. She could see it laying before her, glowing faintly as usual. Her fingers reach feebly, grazing the gold edges. She could still feel faint pulses, the warm flow of energy that courses through it. She smiles weakly, having a wash of relief that the two are not apart. Hands lay flat as she pushes herself off the ground, willing for the instrument to rise. She soon flinches, clutching to the side of her head. A sharp pain dulls itself at the crown. A deep, steady exhale flows from her lips as she tries to ease the pain.

Night falls, Sona manages to maneuver through what she believes is a neighborhood without being seen. Rather, close to being seen. She finds herself at a playground where she leans onto a bench. Bright eyes stare directly ahead while her fingers press against her mouth. The other arm crosses over her stomach, supporting the other. Before she is given the opportunity to think further, a massive figure steps towards her. Her breath hitches, figure freezes at the oddity as it sniffs her.

Wordlessly, the creature opens its mouth, leaning closer to the maven. She instantly snaps from her trance and backs away from it. The creature breaks into a spring, the maven flees the other way. She musters her energy to push her jumbled thoughts, body, and will to not spare a glance behind her as she hears the creature heave, trying to catch up to her. Once at a safer distance, she turns a corner. Her throat goes dry and face twist in horror as she finds herself at a dead end. She reluctantly pivots to face the aggressor. The two mere steps from one another, her fingers curve above the strings.
