I've loved those suckers ever since I saw one live at a FL herpetology center. They take a chunk and don't spare the venom. Their pineal glands must be off the charts with DMT production imho.

No, I'm saying the syntactic and phonemic radicals in that case are the graphemes.

There are also pure pictograms in Chinese, which don't work that way. So what counts as a grapheme is contextual as I imagine it would be in many transitional forms of writing that still had logograms as well as some more evolved cuneiform.

It looks like your definition is different from Crystal's. Crystal's definition didn't appear to make room for context. In English, we have {a,b,...,z} U {'!','%','.','^',...} as the permanent set of graphemes. It doesn't matter what sentence or word we are talking about.

"I don't eat."

"I don't eat pizza."

I don't think "pizza" becomes a grapheme just because it adds new meaning and can't be reduced further. The reason is that in at least one other context (in reality, many contexts), some of the components of "pizza" like 'p' can change the meaning of a phrase and can't be reduced.

Even the "pure pictograms" you're referring to (象形字) are composed of common radicals. Examples are 馬 and 龜. With 龜 we can see e.g., the very common radical 丿(name:撇). So again, it seems dubious to claim that 馬 or 龜 is a grapheme.

With 好, we have two radicals 女 and 子. Removing either one would change the meaning at the level of the word and the sentence, so both 女 and 子 are candidates for graphemes. But even these radicals can be decomposed into smaller "units capable of causing a contrast in meaning". For example, 子 is composed of a 一 and a 了, both of which are "capable of causing a contrast in meaning" in many contexts.
 
@Limbo Pete remember all those stuffy, sunscreen-thin-veneered brags that Lubes use to make about knowing a bit of Mandarin?

Any kind of party. @Sketch would invite him to a party in his pants. You would invite him to a birthday party.

It's a study we're doing in here. Thank you for your input.
 
I just want everyone to know @Happy Man is my damn hero.
 
The French Quarter flooded really fucking bad today. Like water up past my calf... So not THAT high but you get it. Pipes were ruptured spraying water.. What are those. Sewer doors called... Sewer lids....? I don't know, the lid to the drain was bouncing in the air.


I spent all day choo chooing bong hits and watched my street flood thinking I wouldn't have to work but they made me lol.

So it took like twenty minutes for a normally five minute walk. Can't figure out how to post the videos I took from facebook but it was insane.

This is the shit we went through last month and this is what today was like.



Mind you the FQ isn't supposed to flood at all.

Someone posted in the mushroom rain cloud thread about a hurricane potentially taking out New Orleans and brainstorming blowing up weather is at least thinking about how to help.

But that's stupid. Because we need to be talking about coastal erosion and rising waters. We need to be talking infastructure, and we need to talk it now.

Your training for this gimmick is inspirational.

Seder (and Brooks and Kasparian) would be a lot more respectable if he stopped devoting time to Dave Rubin and Sam Harris (even though Harris is better than Rubin). It makes it seem to casual observers that they are intellectual or cultural equals.

Also, didn't watch by the way. I refuse to give clicks to that petty shit.

I can't stand her fucking voice either. Same with Trump, I basically refuse to watch them speak at all unless they do some absurd shit, like looking at God when saying you're the chosen one or hugging a flag.

You see her without makeup? Without this gimmick Tomi is that tramp stamp girl rambling about immigrants at Wal Mart while wearing Happy Bunny pj bottoms on a Thursday afternoon.
