« The plural of fish is fish. When referring to more than one species, you can use fishes as plural »
Un Nième long post sur la diversité chez Tolkien. Je mets de côté pour un point que je trouve intéressant, c'est que l'évolution des langues chez Tolkien implique intrinsèquement qu'il a pensé/imaginé des échanges/influences/mixités culturelles des populations qui les parlent.
« But to insist that every tribe or clan was purely homogenous be to ignore Tolkien's study of cultures centered around language, and the divisions of those cultures, and the intermingling with other cultures and how they affect the languages.
He had every reason to create reasons for the languages to change and evolve. He needed a way to have a real world for his 14 languages to live in. At the time, people thought he procrastinated his academic duties to work on his fantasy stories, but his Legendarium/languages became the blueprints to showing us how philology works.
Instead of simply lecturing us about how philology works, it's like he was saying, "look, read these stories and pay attention to their names and their poems and such. The languages and their evolution are literally the most important part of any of this." »

« Petite mise au point parce que je l’entends partout : « wesh » n’est pas un mot vulgaire ou qui ne veut rien dire. C’est un mot arabe qui veut dire « what » ( quoi, quel, qu’est-ce que) en anglais. Je le compare à l’anglais parce qu’il a le même usage dans la langue arabe. »
Ça me remonte pas mal de souvenirs ça. Gamin (10/14 ans), on utilisait bcp le javanais pour ne pas se faire comprendre des adultes. C'était devenu super naturel pour nous, c'était fun. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javanais_(argot)

Et dans les commentaires : « Class is a big part of it too. When people say a British accent is attractive they aren't talking about cockney or south London... they're talking about posh BBC accents. »
