A UNIVERSAL GRAMMAR: Thoughts about Language and Consciousness All adjectives are fictions – each attribute contains its opposite. All nouns are deceptive – fostering notions of separateness. Verbs offer fleeting snapshots – but stories constantly change. Connectors – don't those build linguistic reality? Words such as "and", "if", "but", & "or" cement scintilla of perception into unified frames. Connect – disconnect. Recognise life many ways. Re-arrange your grammar & remember syntax is flexible yet some parts cannot change. Juanita: (frowning) This poem is too obscure. Jack: Yeah. Moreover, the graphics are not so engaging. Ella: Linguistic reality is but one of many "realities" – that is a worthwhile insight. Shu: (nodding) No doubt. Visual reality has a similar plight. ===================================================================================== from Lit-A-Rupture: A Post Literary Construction by T Newfields SUMMARY: Some reflections about the ways in which language and thought interact.
