The Structure of the English Language // Writing

The Structure of the English Language

The English language is very diverse and massive in its entirety. What more of its structure? Its contents? Its dips, folds, cracks, and corners make up the main language that our world uses today. It is both the cold, hard flesh of the dead and the pulsating organs of the living. Pertains so, to the changes and revisions that we encounter in this language as the time —  as slow, as it is swift — passes by.

The English Language is the knowledge of its structure and content, including the meaning and spelling of words, rules of composition, and grammar. It is an endless cycle, in my opinion. It's like a lump of clay that one can shape into any form — of course, while retaining its beauty— using the hands as molders. We can distinguish these hands as the classes of words or parts of speech, meanings of words or semantics, how words are organised in relation to each other or syntax, how words are formed or morphology, the sounds of words or phonology and lexicography, how written forms represent these sounds.

Language has been described using both traditional terms and some of the categories and descriptions of modern grammar. English is not “derived” from Latin but has a Germanic origin, although much of our lexicon comes from French and the classical languages of Greek and Latin. Some of the language categories of traditional grammar have more coherence than others. I believe that there are such languages that which are still known and used in special contexts in written form, but not as ordinary spoken languages for everyday communication called Dead Languages. Some examples of these are Latin, Sanskrit, and Old Church Slavonic. But some scholars and archivists study them for the specific reason of learning. The point that I am making, is that languages can be confusing but they can be also fascinating and much more endearing if we intend know about it better.

It starts with the most basic units of meaning: the simple words or the elements of complex words. If we stop and think about it, the structure of the English language is changing. There is a saying that change is good. We continue to develop and thrive in our comprehensiveness, and that is a step to wisdom or a deeper understanding of things. The structure may be a conundrum, and a longer stretch of the language may be interesting, but the study of the structure of the English language is altogether, a uniquely different and enlightening experience indeed.

Stylish Uniform // Fashion


Hoohah!!!
 This little juicy piece of glamour and cuteness is -  wait for it!!     going to be our OJT uniform!! Yeyyy! I am actually loving our Dept. Head for this. She was choosing out of three outfits, and hands down, she LOVED this one and was ecstatic about it. The only downside is      in the name of formality     when in the actual immersion, we have to switch the skirt for slacks. (Boo!) But I can live with it. :))

One great thing to look forward to in the midst of all the college mess!!

:DD

The Infernal Devices // Books



Okay :)

So I know that these are also Cassandra Clare's works. 
The Infernal Devices. 

But I LOVED these books so much that I felt the need to stress on them in particular, for emphasis. 
Ugh!! The Tessa Gray, Will Herondale and James Carstairs love triangle is E-P-I-C. 
In Clockwork Prince, it really came to the point where I was bawling so hard, I developed hiccups for a moment. 
I could imagine Will's and Tessa's heartbreak, as if I were there with them, feeling and aching for the same love, the same loss. 
Gosh, If I were the one in Tessa's position, I wouldn't know what to do either. The two Shadowhunters are equally deserving and they both have dark, traumatic pasts which makes them both vulnerable and strong at the same time. I couldn't bear to hurt either of them. ;(( sniff, sniff.
I kind of pity Tessa now. And It makes me wonder how things will turn out, since Tessa is immortal, (like Magnus, whom I adore) Will is broken and Jem is dying. One more thing, they have Cecily now, Will's sister, whom I know will be awesomely hilarious. 
I was wondering....why are there quotes of Clockwork Princess in www.goodreads.com?? Are they kind of a special sneak peek or something?? 
Please answer me because I am con-fuuused.

I'm blabbering aren't I? Hoho Final words please!!

(I think there's something fishy about one of the Silent Brothers in TMI, Brother Jeremiah. Could he be Jem?? And Church the cat is creeping me out. He is first seen in The Mortal Instruments, but it turns out that he was also in The Infernal Devices. It has been eons, and cats don't live more than 15 years     well, the normal ones anyways. Did the Dark sisters do something to this cat?? Answers!!)

I SO cannot wait till March 2013 for Clockwork Princess!


The Mortal Instruments // Books





Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments series. 
These. Books. Are. Awesome.
Its been the current addiction of my awesome self. There are actually two more books besides these three, but I don't have pictures. (lol) I finished all of the books sometime ago, so I'm just waiting for the next book, Heavenly Fire.
And The Dark Artifices. 
Gosh, Jace is the baddie-sarcastic guy of my dreams! He and Clary are so cute. 

Hohohoh
