Without knowledge, do not speak! With knowledge, you'll find no reason to speak. Where's the point then of cognition to acquire knowledge, yes? To make an apparel dumb of you ? And know the discrepancy that stands between what appears and what's real. And this discrepancy if confessed to you, means futility is recognised. Means, you stand alone.

Bacon offended me !!
Dear, Mr. Bacon! you have done such an offence by writing such a discreet work that i must say i hate you. Those luring words as to compact and compose them under the name 'advantages'. I must be pardoned to say that I despise them all. For it gives that a scholar can't be a friend if i must say. I may take the liberty and supplicate that please score your essay as an offense to mass property and take the penalty. Turn yourself in or i may be obliged to come armed sir!
The offense is sir! that in the penultimate fornication of facts you are blinding people into believe that they are alone, as alone as a hog deep-sea drowning for the trepidity of being hollow. Ripped of self, bygone the flattery! And then absenty of affection, understanding, and part-taking boon.. that you say I am at the mercy of definitions such as to be subtly called a beast or God eh? That's an offence fair and square !
Now, I won't say no more, for I must spill my rage at you and protest sir! protest by silence now-

Gestures- these 'say' something... -But what of this case please?
Well, now that you talk of semantics. Semantics of posture.
Extract:
"Whether we sit on the floor or on chairs, cross our legs at the ankles, over the knees, or not at all—these ‘say’ something about a person’s cultural background but they do not communicate semantically."
Well, firstly i thought you technically take it as semantics :3 . Secondly, i want to know what 'say' it about one who sits on chair, and have his legs taken aback vertically, making some angle of less than 90 with the floor (though not oght to say vertical, lol). Well, just the complaint that you didn'nt incorporated this case. Though you seek n speak in generals i know. But i want to know of this gesture, that is all! So, dear linguists or whosoever, heed the case and provide feedback please :D .
Thanks in advance ~

signs n gestures that i know communicate something- but what's the fault of dear lil baby?
Well, so discussed in the book that pinching one’s nostrils closed with
thumb and forefinger -communicates
the gesture of 'disgust or displeasure with something (like ‘It stinks')' !
.. taken from the
extract:
/Similarly, there
are visible signs, gestures, which have a standard, shared meaning, and there
are elements of appearance—‘body language’— which possibly create an effect on
the observer and therefore on the interpretation of a spoken message. The former,
the visible signs, have the capacity to communicate in much the way a word
communicates; the latter could only be said to communicate in a secondary
sense.
Consider these
visual signs:
nodding the
head in response to an utterance
crossing
one’s fingers pretending to yawn, with finger tips in front of mouth
holding up a
thumb from a closed fist
pinching
one’s nostrils closed with thumb and forefinger
Like the
audible signs mentioned above, these gestures have recognized, though somewhat
vague, shared meanings. The first suggests agreement or affirmation; the
second, a hope for success when circumstances are uncertain; the third,
boredom; the fourth, determination to make one’s cause successful; the fifth,
disgust or displeasure with something (‘It stinks') /
Well, the question is that the boo little baby, is pinched er hard
at nose. No less. All well succumbs to the temptation of tweaking that tiny
winy nose. Awww, poor little darling. Ahm, is that to figure n elucidates the
gesture that the baby conjures to plot against his nose or that the disgusting
odour somewhere about that the nose be pinched (since he cannot do the service
himself !) -? :v O I say it all on account of limitation of the gesture to
explain itself in the book ! Hehe.., Have a good day. Thanks for reading till
the end :D !
P.S
Now caution sir! n ma'am too! before playing your gestures on poor
little darling .
Murderer?
'I'll murder the man sir! by virtue of cause__' says a wild man in hood of his sanity.
Yes there is the cause, u see! And the whole science is in consistent strife to possess 'cause'. Bud' science, ye want to be murderer ay?_
Accent or a Focus or a stress -?
Just what is the difference b/w 'accent', & 'focus/stress' .. (reading prosody from book 'the eng semantic' by Charles W. Kreidler. Please answer in context to that. By features elaborated of 'em, they appears to be all the same. The one and the same thing!

The blonde, is it? :v

"Art for moral sake" or "Art for life's sake" ??? --The second counter approach!
"Art for art's sake" ..yeah that's what we studies in the history of literature, as how have the works of literature- the novels, poetry, dramas- as so far their authors ..who are governed and imitate the principle or what overwhelms them as logic or idea true!--: are oh "art for art's sake" and "art for morality sake" (well well, that there is a pedagogical element too, that must be given rule over our impetus nerves). Now that in our lecture of Jan 5, 2015 we were conveyed that there are two approaches as for the taste of laureates of literature (the authors) .. "art for art's sake" and "art for life's sake". Then ooh! where goes the monument of "art for moral sake" that we studied in our preceding chapters-- ??
Oh am i calling for rote-learning. Oh no no- Just that the juxtapose of two ideas are making my comprehension go dead! :P
P.S
We are studying Victorian Period.

Talkative friend--
Well, in our phonetics and phonology class, we were studying "intonation" ..and then the tone-types. When 'falling tone' came to discussion, sir pointed that it is an indicator of that the speaker is done! Rising tone, employed when taking pause in middle of discussion... Ending statement with rising tone indicates that the audience is supposed to expect more coming from the Speaker. Haha, now that struck to me the image of my friend. She is so damn talkative, that i wonder less, rather confirmed.. "are not the folks talkative, with not possessing falling-tone then?" :v Sir rather laughted at the thought-
chalti jaye.. chalti jaye ...upra wa jumla ka matbl ei ke 'O bahut sasura kanjoos ae, sala sasura 'falling-tone' eich nai rakhta-
hm confusjya jate ..kb sasura band hoing
hm ko remotwa do bhai
in ka estatement rising-tone pe khatam hota
remotwa se in ko fix kr de ga-
And so added, so sizzled one of my classmates by saying.. "sir un ko zabardasti chup karana parta hai" ..Lol!

Alfred Tennyson- reading aids!
So, what is this laureate? My memory always miss on
that- So, the doc Google says: "a person who is honored with an
award for outstanding creative or intellectual achievement." Well, I am
studying Tennyson- who is dictated as poet laureate!
Another query that rises is that could we call him a
national poet?
Well, yes I suppose because his poetical tendency
begins where the mark of social conditions of England begin. He indeed fixed
for the future generations the essence and the spirits of his age.
Another query, what is Cremian war?
The Crimean War,
also known in Russian historiography as the EasternWar of 1853–1856 (October 1853 – February 1856), was a
conflict in which Russia lost to an alliance of France, Britain, the Ottoman
Empire, and Sardinia.
Sardina- what is that?
And if that is what refers to Crimean war, then what
does 2nd world war refers to. Sorry, I am weak in that subject :3 ..
Ethos: “the distinguishing character, sentiment,
moral nature, or guiding beliefs of a person, group, or institution; also :
ethic.”
