https://mccue.dev/pages/6-1-22-upload-to-maven-central I get this little pointless thrill refreshing netlify analytics every time I write something, even if its :poop:
pedantically, from a linguistics perspective all words are "invented words" aren't they?
unless we have proof they are hard wired biologically I guess
(I don't think we have that proof)
I'm guessing from context there they mean that it wasn't derived from earlier words and and their meanings, but yeah linguistically it is absolutely the case that all are invented
it's a fascinating collision of frames of reference. if the goal of learning a language is knowing the language per-se, "invented" isn't a useful category. if the pragmatic goal is to be seen as competent, you'd want to avoid words that are seen as "invented" or archaic. etc. but you also wouldn't care much about etymology?
I hadn't thought of it like that but that makes sense 🙂
This reminds of one of my favorite infinite recursion thoughts to ruminate on: "The brain named itself"
this is all reminding me of earthsea, where there is a true speech
I know one universal word, when it hurts a lot : aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !
