The Stoics and some medieval writers (Alain de Lille) attribute degeneration of language to degeneration of people.

And I'm not meming. The degeneration of language is pretentious fucks who use filler words to pad their word count and their egos. Peak language is focusing the most emotional content into the smallest verbal package possible.

This is /lit/, he needs to continue to be an autistic edgelord who thinks he's superior so that when he inevitably quits pursuing his BA (by choice or otherwise) he can blame it on everyone else rather than himself. He needs to become another angry pseud.

>>17729807
They wouln't deny that English is degenerate. They believed even their Greek and Latin were degenerate of older languages. Older = better to them, because older languages were closer to reality than newer language which became more nonsensical.

Stop seeing the plebs as anything but hopeless cases. Those people should be farmers with families and strong religion. The demonic neoliberal state intentionally mixes people like you with them and uses them to dilute discourse and prevent the emergence of self-conscious elites (who would ultimately serve and protect the plebs, uniting them in shared values against the neoliberal state). This isn't a normal or perennial state of affairs. Forgive the plebs, rise above them gracefully, and take what residual access to real learning has accidentally survived in the universities in spite of this social engineering. Don't let it get you down. You're under attack by an enemy whose weapons are mongrelisation, mediocrity, distraction, and despair.

Learn linguistics in spite of, not because of, its current academic form of "we're all equal" rigourless happy happy fun time and hangout zone for the mentally retarded. That's just all of university now.

How is it fundamentally true? People take it as an inviolable fact that linguistic prescriptivism is wrong and I never understand why. Clearly some languages are superior to others. If a language has greater expressive capability, it is superior to a simpler language. Also some languages just sound better than others. This type of niggerspeak is bad because it dumbs down the language and adds nothing of nuance.

This thread really brought out the contrarian trannies, the same fags who trip over themselves to correct people for being linguistic prescriptivists so they can show off that they have the hot inside scoop, that the EXPERTS! are all descriptivists. "Actually, uh, language flows and all language is equally valid??"

Fucking retard midwits who think that because joe sixpack is a reflexive prescriptivist, because he's disgusted by decay and disorder, that ivory tower descriptivism must be correct. Simply because it's above joe sixpack, because it's what all those ivory tower experts believe. You know, those cool, hip, trendy experts who have also turned musicology and ethnomusicology into degenerate apologetics for capitalism and the culture industry, the ones who chide you that blacks rapping about murdering eachother is just "authentic street knowledge" (as they tweet from their dad's second beach house - at least one of the faggots reading this and getting mad at it right now literally has parents with a beach house).

The way the managerial class makes itself feel better about its status as a parasite and a cancer on society, the way the professionally tweeting beach house class soothes its guilt over owning all the wealth and dominating the ivory tower, is by glorifying the laxity and degeneracy they themselves cause in the lower classes by impoverishing them. There is now a neverending supply of rich effeminate faggots to tell you that it's GOOD that black people no longer have a future tense morphologically distinct from the present tense, it's GOOD that everyone's a mindless consumer who sucks down pop culture slop because his brain has never been cultivated beyond the minimum necessary for serving food to rich people, it's GOOD that the lower classes are addicted to smoking weed and other spirit-sapping substances and activities!

Laxity is good! Disorder is good! Everyone's just FREELY EXPRESSING themselves, man! I'm freely expressing myself when I go to my dad's beach house during summers while attending Rice and getting a B+ average, and you're freely expressing yourself when you serve me food and speak in the degenerate pidgin creole you call a language because all you've ever been exposed to is culture industry prolefeed and slavery working conditions at a company my dad owns shares in! BECAUSE WE'RE BOTH JUST DOING WHAT WE WANT, THAT MEANS WE'RE DOING THE SAME THING!

It's called a lumpenproletariat you fucking faggots. If you actually read the Marx you pretend to read to justify the leftism you claim to adhere to, you would know this. I hope your negro slaves escape from the new plantations you've created for them (these ones are okay, they have weed, and special negro music playing at all times for the special negro character, the negro is more "loose" and "with it," you see) and stomp your fucking tranny heads in.

>>17730435
Great, if you're one of the lumpenprole pets who has been taught to justify his own mass character and mediocrity, and not one of the owner class, you actually have a chance to escape it because your soul hasn't been crushed like theirs has from years of justifying being a slave owner and attending minstrel shows performed by your own slaves.

The more you do, the more you will want to extirpate the people who did this to you and your family. Unlikely that you will do anything but hopefully this plants the seed that other ways of thinking and living are possible. You know, that thing university is supposed to do, but doesn't do anymore because it's a feel-good orgyporgy for rich faggots.

This is the sort of dialectical variation linguists delight in hearing.

>>17730379
You are a retard. The expressive capacity of a language has nothing to do with the number of words it has.

>>17730358
A few years ago I would have been compelled to tell you to use a better language but thankfully a new word has been developed recently. Finna.

>>17730723
Not only does it merge the self and the will, but it also incorporates a finnatude. A sense of certainty that the self's will shall be carried out because at long last the self and the will are united.

>>17730405

>>17730723
>>17730743
Finna is slang for "fixing to."

>>17729365
OP is right on the running academic spirit to bullshit the origins/justification of ebonics, but OP is also an autistic sperg who can’t connect connect with his peers. them speaking that way is a stronger indicator that they’re socially competent than clueless on linguistics.

Implies the self, the will and reality are singular. The only noncucked way to speak English.

>>17730696

>reading comprehension check

bixnoot

do they say "finna" because F and I are next to G and O on the keyboard?

>>17730300
It's clear that there's much more to language than linguistic validity.
>>17730379
It's impossible to use language without having some sort of normative attitude towards it. So called descriptivists are just prescribing the social forces that are influencing linguistic change in the present. It's an impossible position.

>>17730833
Sounds like another way to say "bout to pick up some air jordans." You're just cutting words off the sentence to make it quicker to say or read

Imagine a 100% white country. Imagine all the niggers deported back to Africa. Or better yet, collectively hanged, freeing the world from their inferior monkey genes.

>>17730851
what

>>17731263

it's like kek -> jej, instead of g and o the letters left of them on the keyboard are used
