You do have a basic understanding of how human language works, don't you?
Yes you learn about it in theoretical computer science. Languages can be classified into regular, context free, context sensitive and recursively enumerable
>>24985154>Languages can be classified into regular, context free, context sensitive and recursively enumerableabsolutely none of this matters. language is social, not scientific. retard.
>>24985112Yes
>>24985230>language is socialNot only.
>>24985250no, strictly. retard.
>>24985255No. You can think to yourself in language. Language is also about how we structure thoughts, regardless of whether communication is involved.
>>24985257>You can think to yourself in language. Language is also about how we structure thoughts, regardless of whether communication is involved.Lol. Retard. Truly a Retard. You are genuinely fucking stupid. This is exactly why Science shouldnt be worshipped. It doesnt actually think, but is priveleged with being considered the highest domain of thinking. Usefulness being confused with understanding. Read Wittgenstein retard. I bet you couldnt understand it either way, and its not even as if its too complicated to understand. What a juvenile perspective.
>>24985236Based and triviumpilled
>>24985310he's not talking about Wittgenstein's private languageyou can use socially-learned language as a personal cognitive tool and in that use it is no longer strictly socialwhy do some posters have to be so quick to unncessary rivet-busting anger
>>24985383>you can use socially-learned language as a personal cognitive tool and in that use it is no longer strictly social>why do some posters have to be so quick to unncessary rivet-busting angerlol retard you dont understand what Wittgenstein was saying. Somebody else should educate you.
>>24985398if you spent as many words on discussion as on insults you might discover a constructive conversation instead of this endless anger
>>24985112No, and I don't care. I only use English because I was forced to.
>>24985402He's trying to hard.
>>24985112I majored in linguistics, so yes.
Why has this entire site become 90% bait threada and 10% derailed threads?
>>24985112I have a Master's in a field of applied linguistics so I should hope so...These captchas are alcoholphobic btw, fuckin eh
>>24985525Good. We don't want drunks.
>>24985230There is no difference. High level human language can be studied scientifically
>>24985112linguists are dumb though
>>24985496Very few people these days actually have bothered in their lives to acquire the expertise necessary to have worthwhile conversations about the subjects the boards are devoted to, so they must mask this fact by various disingenuous tactics such as focusing discourse around ad hominems and pretending to know more than they let on by implying that the interlocutors are unworthy of themself deigning to respond with the knowledge supposedly required for this topic (but, again, which they themself even do not actually possess).4chan itself has for a very long time itself promoted disingenuity in argumentation, which lesser users have inculcated but possess even less substance to actually back it up with. Now, the form of the argument is all that matters and posting on here has devolved to being about little more than one-upping your declared opponents with this sophistry.The influx of newer users has dragged the level of discourse down to a lowbrow lowest common denominator and is now in freefall as more capable potential posters realize they get little to nothing out of this except needless frustration, and so exodus. There's no evident way to revert it, either.
>>24986524"Themself" is not a word, and the reason they're like that is because they have not studied logic, which is ironic considering the topic of the thread.
