Here's the shorter version.<br /><br />Daniel you are very literal. Have you read the <i>Literal-Minded</i> web log I link to in my sidebar? So now we have an answer for the question of fried apples (or fritters of apples). The French phrase for french-fries is apparently a lot like 'borg' or 'blog'. It's a shuffled bunch of segments that have shuffled off their semantic/morphological history only to find it later in the new form. <br /><br />Casey you are very confusing.<br /><br />Speakers/performers are aware of the limitations of language so how can it be a hurdle? It is a means. As far as trYth goes...the premise of your pursuit eludes me. I think.<br /><br />Sign language does have a phonology. There is some interesting work done on signing and its phonemes. It has to do with hand shapes motions and positions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27807460.post-23795520895858914902007-02-04T14:23:00.000-05:002007-02-04T14:23:00.000-05:00Today, Anonymous answered your question from my Se...Today, Anonymous answered your question from my September 3 2006 post on French food.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486681777716496640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27807460.post-29878662944952637152007-02-04T03:08:00.000-05:002007-02-04T03:08:00.000-05:00Weren't we honest before?
