Talk:Syncretism (linguistics)

message: I am thinking about working on this article a little more, and I would like to include more examples from different languages, and I would like to include a section on theoretical (systematic) approaches to syncretism. --Smcgury (talk) 08:45, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  More examples needed 

message: This article links to the article "natural class", saying that Sebastian Bank distinguishes incidental homophony from syncretism via reference to natural classes. The "natural classes" he refers to are morphological classes defined by grammatical features like [PAST] (citation 3: Bank 2014, p. 239); the Wikipedia article on "natural classes" refers only to phonological natural classes. Since the use of the term is overwhelmingly restricted to its usual phonological meaning, would it make sense simply to remove the link in this article, and expand the paragraph to ensure that readers are not misled into thinking Bank distinguishes homophony from syncretism via phonology? 82.17.191.251 (talk) 23:11, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Natural Class" link 

message: Linguists such as Donald Ringe () distingiush the syntactic merger of morphosyntactic categories (e.g. the merger of the instrumental and ablative case in Latin) with syncretism, the latter being used purely descriptively for multiple syntactic features sharing the same inflectional marker — without implying that a merger or replacement ever took place. This page seems to cite syntactic mergers as examples of syncretism (e.g. merger of oblique cases in English). Even if there is support for this use of the term within the literature, I think work needs to be done to acknowledge that some linguists do not consider this an example of syncretism, moreover that syncretism is used by some linguists purely descriptively. jajaperson (talk) 11:31, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

message: The idea that annexins are involved in the pinching off process has NOT been tested, as per the citation: "It is an interesting, but unexplored, possibility that the bivalent activity of annexins might be involved in closing of the neck of the matrix vesicle, or other bleb structure, as it pinches off from the cell."

message: "They are found in all kingdoms (animal, plant and fungi) with the exception of the bacteria."
The kingdom concept is used confusingly here, it seems to suggest a four kingdom model and ignores the Archae; if this is an intentional phylogenetic claim then it is controversial and would be widely unsupported, more likely this is just a confusion of the kingdom taxonomic grouping.

message: The references to "Figure 1" etc. made it clear that this was copied from another source. So I assumed a copyright violation and deleted it. But on second thoughts: the occasional bad English, and the fact that I can't find the text using Google, may indicate that the anon editor was acually using his/her own research paper, which would then be acceptable for Wikipedia. So if the anon editor can indicate his/her source, maybe the text can be reformatted and re-added after all. Rocksong 04:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Perpetual motion/Archive 1

message: Isaac Newton and the laws of physics are the ultimate recipe for an early intellectual brain death.
Flush them down the toilet and apply a new regime of commion sense and hey presto, things happen. Many times over and some are detailed at www.thewebspert.com/cresswell/.
At  there is a new meaning to sun and planet motion. The reasoning can supply infinite energy for a wheelchair drive.
------------------
Moved from free energy:
:See also User:Sterlingda/Free Energy
----
Free energy generally suggests kinds of electromagnetic energy that are "free" (i.e. do not cost anything). "Free energy" generally means that a primary energy source is free for consumption. In a technical sense, free energy means an energy source supplied directly by the environment in unlimited quantity (and this can not be depleted). Free energy, in a strict sense, is energy directly transceived from the environment, and utilized without any artificial aid. This type of energy is sometimes refered to as "radiant energy".
Free energy has a number of consequences. Examining normal physical processes with knowledge of free energy phenomena can lead to interesting insight. During discussions of perpetual motion, the topic of free energy usually encourages serious inquiries.
----
I just made a minor edit to the article.  I've been trying to figure out in what sense the brownian ratchet gizmo "does not work".  All accounts I have read say the thing is in motion, perpetually for all I can tell.  My guess is that it is not considered perpetual motion because is does not violate the second law.  Did I guess right?  If I guessed wrong could someone clue me in? Chris 06:54, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  electro mechanical infinite energy 

message: IN the lead para perpetual motion is defined as the property of something that keeps going whilst also doing work.ie there is a net energy gain from the system. Later in the article, perpetual motion is discounted merely  becauase of friction tending to slow things down indicating that to have perpetual motion, it is simply necessary to have no losses in the system. It is quite easy to think of frictionless perpetual motion (planets rotating etc)the t does no work.
So what sort of perpetual motion is the article talking about?--Light current 02:46, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Date of birth 

message: As requested I've gone through the article to give it a rating. I've done a few quick edits to bring it in line with the general layout and tweaked a few things (it is pobably best not to call the issues "progs" as it has to be pitched to the general reader who might not know the issues are called progs).
Anyway it is looking really solid the only things I'd want to see:
*General references, like the pages for the coverage in the A-Z and Mega History
*More out-of-universe references - the creator's perspective (like you've got with the SFX interview). I'll have a look in TPO and see if there is anything in there
*Pinning down some of the statements - for example, the whole business about his face being shown is unreferenced although it states facts like "the writers had not yet decided that Dredd himself was one of Fargo's clones." I'd assume there must be something on this, as Dredd's face is an issue, but if not it may have to be reworded to be a bit less specific (although again it may be TPO has something).
So I've put it at a C for now but if we can improve the referencing a bit more then it can be bumped up to a B. 
Also fact check - first appearance in the infobox is set at 599, while it seems 377 would be the most accurate. (Emperor (talk) 16:53, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
