Seeing as though deep structure is by definition unobservable in its direct form, it would be kind of strange to tackle that before building up a lexicon. A more interesting question, IMO, is whether they even have a deep structure.

Nice! Looking forward to seeing where this leads :)

Without a more cross-cultural study this falls more into the domain of cultural bias (still interesting) than what the title suggests. I'd love to see what the results look like incorporating data from cultures whose musical traditions

I have mild Tourette's, which has thankfully gotten milder in adulthood. It was the most pronounced in grade school. Minor facial tics, the occasional head jerk, and some subvocalized echolalia that took me years to be able to notice m

The sneeze analogy is a good one. Or an itch that you're trying not to scratch.

You'd be surprised how many people play live with 1/8" jacks. It's also a useful backup when someone spills beer on your RME Fireface.

Objective-C also uses ARC by default, and that's been the case for several years now. In any event, avoiding retain cycles is relatively straightforward and most iOS devs I know would agree that the low memory overhead and lack of GC p

I do think, as one of the commenters on the original thread suggests, that some of the blame lies with the often latent relationship audio software companies have with Apple's release cycle. Ideally QA begins while the OS update is sti

Some of us happen to think that no GC is a good thing, in Obj-C's case. Swift eschews it as well.

I studied theoretical linguistics through the graduate level and it wasn't until rather late in my schooling that I even began to hear of competing frameworks such as HPSG or LFG, and much of it in passing. There was no mention of them

As the foundational figure in modern Linguistics Chomsky has had an outsized role in shaping the field, some of it good and some bad. IMHO the usefulness of mainstream generative grammar has waned since the 70s or so in terms of its applica

If the President is vowing to veto it, you can probably rest assured it's more than just "normal machinations of the government", as long as that implies "nothing to be concerned about".

Agreed, I'm kind of shocked people aren't seeing this for what it is. Like the much ballyhooed open office plan, or the typical "we don't track vacation time" policy in modern startups, the real bottom line, so to s

It's funny how tech companies are making money from the distribution of this supposedly valueless content that the market supposedly has no demand for.

Not at all. Rather, it's that your heuristic of "providing value" breaks down spectacularly in the face of even the most casual observations of consumer demand. Whether value is provided by copying bits is arguable, that arti

There's such a pervasive notion, especially among techies and other white collar types, that artists and musicians either don't deserve a good living or should be happy just to get to do what they do, regardless of income. It&#x27

Here's another "fun" example. Some of our early uses of the term were to describe the KKK, which was and remains a terrorist organization par excellence. Except that the clandestine nature of the group, and thus the need for

Aside from the usual difficulties in defining a word so politically loaded, this is a problematic heuristic. The Pan Am Flight 103 bombing was claimed by at least three groups, before being traced back to Libya. Gaddafi, for his part, didn&

A bit OT, but how are you liking the UAD stuff? I know a few folks who have made the leap and feel pretty happy with it. Been thinking of snagging one of the new Apollos.

Totally with you on the analog summing. It's kind of funny that people love the sound so much, an analog summing mixer often finds its way into the mastering process even if the original production was all digital.

I didn't necessarily think you were being unfair to "rich people", I just don't buy the idea that only the wealthy have access to non-virtual instruments. It might make the difference between a new(er) and a used car for

I really don't understand the "rich people" sentiment at all. You've already mentioned guitars, but it's true for pretty much any traditional instrument – don't even get me started on the money string players
