Dude! You're a linguistics major? That is seriously cool. Also, that guy in your icon is SERIOUSLY hot. Who IS he??

Dude, it's Sark! From Alias? Remember when we were all obsessed with him? That's why.

Also, thanks for the compliment on my major.

Oh yeah, dude! I recall! Suddenly everything comes clear to me! Wait one moment while I log in to Netflix...

What are you gonna do with linguistics? Something scholarly or... foreign affairs-y? Or neither?

evilbearhunter April 24 2008, 01:49:21 UTC

Probably scholarly, but I'm not positive yet. I just really love the classes.

YOU HAVE THE BEST ICONS.

ALWAYS.

Sounds sounds awesome.

Sarkgasm.
That is all.

Aww, thanks! You should check out mediocrechick; she made a lot of my icons and shares your fandoms.

The Sounds of Language class will indeed be awesome. You'll learn fun things like the Welsh "ll" sound.

Since one of my specialties is Romance Linguistics, I've also taken a version of the Spanish class you're talking about. It's neat.

Morphology was always something I just nibbled around the edges of. I never got into it as much as I would have liked (save one course on Romance Language Morpho-syntax).

On the other hand, Arabic.

It;'s a hard choice.

I took two years' of Irish Gaelic as an undergrad and don't regret it.

(For one thing, taking a language no one else has studied means you can use different examples than everyone else.)

I'm leaning towards Hispanic Linguistics because I just talked to one of my friends who is a sophomore and a Linguistics major and it seems like, for my requirements, Hispanic Linguistics is a better choice. Plus, it sounds SO COOL, and then I can take either a class about Spanish phonology or the history of the language, which are both AWESOME.

I think I will be set on the obscure examples front because of my (soon-to-be) mad sign language skillz.

Even though it can be frustrating, class selection is also super fun, in a nerdy way. (I like most things "in a nerdy way", really.)

Your classes sound really good! I have friends who take Arabic and LOVE it, but the Hispanic linguistics sounds awesome as well.

I know! It's like a candy store, but without the gross "I ate too much candy!" feeling after.

I think that I will eventually take Arabic. The verbs are implied by the subject, or something! My friend who takes it was trying to explain it to me, but I didn't totally get it. It sounds awesome. Plus, you get to learn a new alphabet! (For some reason, while that totally freaks me out with Russian or Hebrew, it is very exciting to me about Arabic. Maybe because that alphabet is hardcore pretty.)
