- Citations:context Definition from Wiktionary, a free dictionary Jump to: navigation, search Citations of context * 1949: S. I. Hayakawa, Language in Thought and Action o Interpretation must be based, therefore, on the totality of contexts. If it were otherwise, we should not be able to account for the fact that even if we fail to use the right (customary) words in some situations, people can very frequently understand us. For example: A: Gosh, look at that second baseman go! B (looking): You mean the shortstop? A: Yes, that's what I mean. (p.61-2) o It is clear, then, that the ignoring of contexts in any act of interpretation is at best a stupid practice. At its worst, it can be a vicious practice. (p.62)

NOTE TO SELF: REVIST & LEARN [neglected articles collected during epic wiki-adventures]
- Hysterical strength describes displays of extreme strength by humans, beyond what is believed to be normal. It is a speculative term that is not recognized in medical academia; the concept has only a small body of anecdotal evidence to support it. Some[who?] state the concept that a person in general situations uses no more than an average of 33% of the muscle fibers available despite being in situations in which said person demands full strength—limited as such by the human brain. If the person uses 100% of their muscle fibers they could hypothetically perform unusual feats of strength.
- In Science, the term natural science refers to a naturalistic approach to the study of the universe, which is understood as obeying rules or laws of natural origin. Overall, natural science is the core of all sciences.
- Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge")
- "NEUROLINGUISTICS" is the study of the neural mechanisms in the human brain that control the comprehension, production, and acquisition of language. [FUCK YEAH. THESIS-WORTHY]
- "UMWELT" "biological foundations that lie at the very epicenter of the study of both communication and signification in the human [and non-human] animal."
- "PSYCHOLINGUISTICS" or psychology of language is the study of the psychological and neurobiological factors that enable humans to acquire, use, comprehend and produce language [OMG!]
- "INFLECTION" or inflexion is the way language handles grammatical relations and relational categories such as tense, mood, voice, aspect (conjugation only), person, number (conjugation and declension), gender, case (declension only).
- "SYNTAX" study of the principles and rules for constructing sentences in natural languages
- "UNSOLVED PROBLEMS in LINGUISTICS" [so mysterious. so exciting!]
- "PHRASE" is a group of words functioning as a single unit [its like people (words) powerful [but somewhat meaningless] alone; profoundly powerful functioning together as a single unit. i am ridiculous. NO! I AM A VERB! -applies PERFECTLY. This is exciting.
- !"LIST of SYNTACTIC PHENOMENA" [oh fuck.]
- A "MOVEMENT PARADOX" is a grammatical phenomenon
