Subject:      Gramm crackers

Greetings,

Yes, I'm watching the Republicans, and am spending my time doubled over
with laughter (alternating with nausea).

Phil is giving his keynote address just now, and has observed that it is
through the strong leadership of Ron and George that western capitalism has
emerged triumphant over the evil empire (I have previously observed that
this ignorant bliss over a transient moment of seeming security is
ahistorical and shortsighted, but that's for another discussion).  Just
now, I'm wondering how it is that in the Republican collective mind
(such as it is, and recognizing--of course--that it is largely a
collective unconscious) the Democrats are to blame for the economic plight
of America, but the Republican presidents are responsible for
our so-called foreign policy victories.  One might note that the same
Congress that is accused of stalling on Bush's nonexistent economic
policies is the same Congress that necessarily funded the absurd and
irresponsible military buildup that has precipitated our immense
budget deficit and created a dangerous level of government interference
in the private sector through dependence (not to mention a dangerous
level of corporate interference in the workings of government).

That is to say, one might credit (or blame) the Congress for both of
these developments.

On a related note, does anyone else agree that it is absurd for the Republicans
to keep arguing that one of the reasons the welfare system is not
working is that it prevents those on welfare from "saving" (as Kemp
did earlier tonight)?  Of course, the Republicans can supply one or two
anecdotes about families who lost their eligibility for welfare because
someone in the family actually saved a few thousand dollars.  I wonder if
any Republican will stand up at this convention and actually say: "Yes, we
should not take away a family's eligibility for welfare regardless of how
much money or how many assets that family has."?  Pish!  What nonsense.
Meanwhile, last week the Wall Street Journal--hardly a bastion of liberal
thought--reported that although eligibility rules for food stamps have not
been loosened, the number of people on food stamps continues to grow at an
alarming rate and is now at an all time record (under Bush, one might add,
the fellow who plans to bring the same kind of vigorous leadership to
domestic policy he brought to the Persian Gulf crisis; where are the bombs,
Dan?).

  Ahem. They are usually not all that difficult to identify.

Everyone says this, but no one on the list has come forth and said
that they were always taken for an American. I find this interesting.
The reason I left Japan was because when I went in the country (this
happened both in Shikoku and Nagano) I was assumed to be Japanese from
Nagoya (because of my accent).  Like I said, when I was in France,
I was assumed to be able to speak French.  I was taken for French by
other Americans on a couple of occasions.  I agree that American
tourists, particularly in groups, make me want to change my passport.

I think this is all very interesting.  I have found myself recently,
particularly in French-speaking Canada, making sure that the people
I was talking to knew I am American.

Interesting.

Let's try this--because I've been saying that English marks for
sex and not grammatical gender, I guess I am driven to the
(distasteful) admission that the use of "he" as the unmarked form
for "one" or people in general *is* , in fact, sexist in English.
I am very uncomfortable with that.  I have ranted and railed at
the attempts to teach "gender-neutral" writing in law school.  I
might just have to surrender the fort to the indians.

OK.  You went through the Russian spiel very nicely--
chapeau.  Howz about this:  we know the cases are 'different' in
Russian because parallel forms of *other* words change in the
same grammatical context.  That is, we *say* that slepost' has
the same form in the nominative and accusative because zhena
changes to zhenu where slepost' doesn't.  Alternatively, one
could teach/ learn the language so that a verb or preposisition
that requires the accusative in the case of zhena requires the
nominative in the case of slepost'.  Things get *much* crazier
that way--less regular--of course.  All that grammatical
paradigms do is serve a pedagogical function--give us rules to
learn/ teach by--maybe.
     Maybe I misunderstand Jakobsonian linguistics.  But I
thought the fundamental proposition was: different form,
different function--and the converse.

     It is all, of course, tremendously circular.  But all of
Euclid is just one big tautology spinning itself out--it's the
coincidence that occurs when you map the tautology onto the 'real
world' that makes the tautology interesting.  So also with rules
of grammar and the names of the elements upon which the rules
work.

What I propose off the top of my head is that by simply knowing the
grammatical rules of French--which I do not very well--one can
spot "La table est vert" as wrong.  The correspondence required
has nothing to do with the referent of "La table."  It's kind of
like knowing that rolling three doubles in a row in Monopoly
means you go to jail without having to know what going to jail
means.  (Is it?)
     And so I guess I'm trying to say that "the man bought itself
a car" is not *grammatically* wrong.  It is the lexical meaning
of man that requires "himself", not its grammatical meaning, i.e.
grammatical gender, number, case.
    I'm also not saying that him- her and it-self are not
different forms--or maybe I am--in fact, perhaps they are
different *words* in a way "vert" and "verte" are not.  Which
only leads me back to what I've said too often already-- that
lnaguages that mark for (lexical) sex are different from
languages that mark for (grammatical) gender.  Tres ennuiant.

Interesting. When we were in Rome (my church choir was invited to sing at
the Vatican) and other Italian cities two years ago, we were told by our
guide to not be so polite and let the Italians and other nationalities
push us around. Also, we found that the Japanese were the most rude
around...and we dubbed them the UGLY Japanese. At the Vatican we were
warned about Polish nuns who thought they owned the pope.

Shame on me!  Just re-read my note and quite obvious I used interpretation
# 3.  Must be more careful with my assumptions.

                            Peace,
