That is because linguistics classes are generally not concerned with the theory of literature. Literary theory classes are.

I don't think you understand where I'm coming from; the concern here for literature is that if all literature is reducible to linguistics it should all be capable of being dealt with and 'understood' through the rigorous application of linguistics, through the (meta?)language of linguistics, and we wouldn't need a critical language to address texts.

Isabelle Hubcap toddles into /lit/ from on high every so often to advise someone on some high-level theory book to read. I actually engage people, make threads concerning some of the crucial questions of literature and have the balls to tell them they're fucking retarded degenerates (which should be enlightening coming from a superior human being) when someone says something patently dumb and misguided here.


"Students, and learned persons of all sorts and every age, aim as a rule at acquiring information rather than insight. They pique themselves upon knowing about everything—stones, plants, battles, experiments, and all the books in existence. It never occurs to them that information is only a means of insight, and in itself of little or no value; that it is his way of thinking that makes a man a philosopher." On Men of Learning

" I am too hot and scorched by my own thought: it is often about to take my breath away. Then I have to get into the open air and away from all dusty rooms.
But they sit cool in the cool shade: they want to be mere spectators in everything and they take care not to sit where the sun burns upon the steps. " Of Scholars

There's no sermon, no choir, no heavenly spire. You're trying to engage a passive audience with derision, poorly explained language games, and ego. Yes we can look up phonemes if we don't know what they are. But if someone asks about it you should probably explain it to them in clearer ways instead of making them feel bad for being here. Sure some people are misguided: But I feel like your approach is only going to reinforce a kind of e-stinct to rally against you. If I were you I’d be more concerned with the portion of the audience that isn’t aware of what you’re talking about and start them out on good, solid footing.

Feeling the irresistible urge to call someone names? Make mean-spirited jokes at another poster’s expense? Knock yourself out. But take your name off first. Name-calling under this guise only disrupts what you’re trying to talk about and discredits you. Unless you can come up with some truly scathing critique of your detractors (plays on their names isn't cutting it) it's going to work better if you either ignore them or try to prove your worth to them.

I think you're on the right track in several ways. First, if there were a board on 4chan that was interested in the intelligentsia and improving their comprehension of language and philosophy: It would be /lit/. So you’re posting in the right board. I also think you’re speaking from a background and reference. You’ve dropped enough books to show precedent in your thought. I’m also under the impression that you’re a student right now.

In my past I’ve found philosophers, abstract writing and people obsessed with the writing to be cantankerous and disagreeable. I’ve decided the investment in abstract thought doesn’t reward me enough to do more than some light reading once in a while. But I’m listening if you happen to say something insightful. There are people here that philosophy works for, so try and cull them and have The Dialogue, instead of trying to angrily impress. It just doesn’t work well online.

It's quite ridiculous that all everyone else in this thread is asking for is a reference to some sort of actually written literature in relation to linguistics, and all you can do is bitch and moan and insult us. You still can't reference any form of literature mentioned in this thread, and still continue to bitch and moan about how linguistics is literature when it's not. There's so much more to literature besides linguistics, and there is so much more to linguistics besides written word.

From what I've read of this thread, D&E seems like a freshman in college who took (or is taking) an intro to linguistics class and who just happened to be a little more knowledgeable than his peers because of a cursory self-education through reading. And now he extends that high from knowing a little more than everyone else to /lit/.

Your diction in the first post is what set everybody off. It's totally alienating to the majority of posters who are not learned in linguistics (and by extension phonology and morphology). I mean, "lexical item?" Seriously? How about "word?"

It's obvious that you wanted this to happen just to further your "intellectual" superiority delusions. You can't even argue properly, so the thread just goes in circles of empty points made by both sides that have little to know bearing on the original topic. This could have been an interesting discussion on the relation of linguistics to literature...or perhaps a discussion on basic linguistics at the phonological level and how various palatal rules govern how we pronounce words.

I agree. D&E is beneath contempt right now but everybody was eleven years old once upon a time, let's hope he can find the inner resources to redeem himself at a later date.

Now, is anyone ready to say anything about the relationship between linguistics and literature? The pithier the better. I'll go first.

For me, linguistics differentiates between languages by what must be conveyed, not by what may be conveyed. Literature is in many ways a social phenomenon. Yesterday's smut is tomorrows literature (Peyton Place, Naked Lunch, to name two examples)

Where linguistics and literature collide for me is in the novels of Irvine Welsh, for example, because I have to use many of the skills I learned in linguistics to extract his rules first and once I've gotten past a few pages I find I have acquired most of what I need to just enjoy his prose having learned what he must convey and thus able to follow his rules.

I tried my best to be clear, thanks.

>Not my problem, more assumptions.

Well, it certainly is your problem if your own thread gets derailed like this. You can blame the responders for that, sure--but I think the fundamental problem is with your original post and your general attitude toward pretty much everything.

You honestly need to shed whatever superiority shell you wear. If you want to enter into academia in any capacity, you can't fucking argue like this. This is a forum, so the rules are a little different; but when talking with a person like this, you're likely to be considered completely worthless in conversation.

I've made some assumptions, yes. But they must have been accurate to some degree for you to defend them in such a way. Instead of simply calling out my assumptions, you should tell me why they're inaccurate. You've worked yourself into a hole of not proving anything. And what the fuck is with this word, "subhuman?" Just because you're being challenged on some of your points makes the arguers less than human? That's laughable.

D&E is correct that linguistics is related to literature, but only insofar as it governs the way words and sentences are put together to create the meaning of the text. It is the structure from which all written English stems. Linguistics is especially useful in deconstructing a text at a sentence and diction level, but not much beyond that. It's also really cool to see the morphological similarities between related languages.
