Hence, there are many people studying this phenomenon, thus, resulting in a wide variety of technical terms. Following the cross-linguistic study, language play typology, based on modification mechanisms, can be categorized as insertion, rearrangement, institution and deletion. As language play is a communication device, advantages gained from this phenomenon are received by language users and researchers. Although, there are plenty of Thai language plays, no study about language play has been done. If a person would like to study this phenomenon, he/she should collect data and analyze it systematically so as to perceive the modification.","PeriodicalId":189310,"journal":{"name":"How Language Makes Meaning","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129935444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We will operate on the space of outcomes Ω = SN. This is an indexed set with with ωn ∈ S for each ω ∈ Ω, n ∈ N. The idea is that the nth index of an outcome ω models a bit of information at time n: for example the result of a coin flip. Let Ωn = S n and Fn = ⊗k=1P(S) = P(Ωn). Note that Fn is a σ-algebra. Furthermore, there is a canonical injection of Fn into P(Ω). Define the projection operator Π : Ω → Ωn where Π(ω) is the unique ωn ∈ Ωn such that ωk = ωn k , 1 ≤ k ≤ n. Intuitively, Π “forgets” what happens after time n. The injection from Fn into P(Ω) is then defined by the pre-image of Π. We will identify Fn with Π(Fn), giving us Fn ⊂ P(Ω).","PeriodicalId":189310,"journal":{"name":"How Language Makes Meaning","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125754886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Senf","doi":"10.1017/9781108377546.010","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108377546.010","url":null,"abstract":"The paper proposes to view languages as a form of primordial oral human art form, with each member language, both present and past, representing variations on an art movement with changes throughout time. It is further proposed that many languages are identified with second or graphical art form for the graphical representation of the oral form. Both forms are the product of the human mind and use different mental abilities and time frames. The oral component is considered dominate and is acquired during a child’s language acquisition stage of human development which is also responsible for new languages. Graphical representation forms, however, were designed by adult scholars and others to expand and make permanent the aspects of oral language for transactions and other record keeping. Additionally, it is proposed that most aspects of the oral component (phones, lexicon and syntax) are arbitrary but controlled by a language coherence which functions almost automatically in the wider aspects using syntax, grammatical gender and one’s mental lexicon. It is axiomatic that meaning is conveyed not only by dictionary (lexical) descriptions, but also by suprasegmental aspects, and arrangements of syntactic elements. Coherence breaks down when human awareness or thought process is evoked in an ever increasing awareness and ambiguity in thought. But some aspects of syntax such as misplaced modifiers and phrases but can still be useful in some forms of poetry unthinkingly and drama. Wars have been ended, careers have been ruined and hearts have been broken because of what was said or written. Some people are granted particular, specific power by their society to do things with words. The formal cultural acts of marrying, naming, inaugurating and condemning to death are achieved through the use of language.
