Alzabo's kiss. (2)

... erecting a shadow maze like Mister Smith in "A Solar Labyrinth." Which is precisely what he does. Wright points out clues I hadn't noticed but should have: like how Wolfe uses Latin or Latinate words for secular purposes but Greek-based (Grecian?) words for the "sacred." He compares Wolfe (& the alzabo, the reader) to Joyce's jokes about attaining immortality by writing an indecipherable book, ...

Book Review - #003 - 'The Bloody Chamber' by Angela Carter [1979]

.... Puss In Boots was probably the funniest of the stories. I adored it from the moment I read Simpson's introduction in which she described Puss's narration as being “a vivid mixture of Latinate elaboration and Anglo-Saxon bluntness”. She gave an example of this, which I think is probably my favourite line written in the book.   “ I went about my ablutions, tonguing my ...

The Treaty of Tordesillas

...day motives (consider the support Portugal gave for the freeing of East Timor – its former territory – from Indonesia). One more thing – they call it ‘Latin America’ because both Spanish and Portuguese are Latinate or Romance languages. If that is the case then I wonder – should the French-speaking regions of Quebec in Canada and Acadiana (part of Louisiana in the US) be deemed Latin American?

Thank you, dSSS mods!

... the park would indeed be just the thing. Fraser grinned, gathered his notebook, and went out to wait for Ray to assemble his things and close up the classroom. Ray might have his difficulties with words, especially multisyllabic Latinate words, but he communicated eloquently all the same.   ***   Happy New Year, Sprat and Mergatrude, and may you each have the best year ever in 2010. \o/

WTF are octopi?

... variety of plurals for "octopus." The plurals of Latinate words like "octopus" are an object lesson in ... what they thought were Classical Latin endings on Latinate words. As "octopus" entered the language, grammarians took...There is no "pattern" for knowing when a Latinate-sounding word will have a plural ending in...." You can be glad that not all Latinate words are like "octopus," however: not long ...

Crabby opinions on Latinate stuff

There's a newish translation of the AENEID out, by Sarah Ruden, that got a glowing review in the New York Review of Books. Gary Wills was the reviewer, and the bits he quoted sounded much more like Vergil than the other versions currently out. (I wasn't all that impressed with the Fagles.) Wills also made a good point on general Vergillian matters. There's an academic opinion very popular just ...

... humor, often edging toward the morbid, and an appreciation for others sharp of wit. MISCELLANEOUS: Chris has a very good reading knowledge of Latin, which helps out when making out other written Latinate languages, especially French, which she studied for several years in high school and college. She loves soccer and plays it pretty well and has a cat of six years, her present to herself upon ...

MODULE 4: NEWBERY AND PRINTZ AWARRD WINNERS—September 21-27

... the previous books, I can’t say what was different about this book that made it a Newbery winner, but all I can say is that it’s worth it. Long before Muggles and pseudo-latinate spells dominated youth literature, Alexander’s The High King took a real stab at presenting fantasy in the best light…that which illuminates mundane life. Taran, pointedly not a noble born prince or lord, doggedly...

Nicknames

...!  So I thought instead I would just give you all of the information I can remember about some types of English nicknames.   When the Normans came to England they brought a lot of Latinate names.  The Anglo-Saxons couldn't pronounce Rs very well, so they changed the Rs in names to other consonants to make nicknames.  Examples: Mary-->Molly Sarah-->Sally, Sadie Margaret-->Madge, Meg, Mamie ...
