User:Dmh/Plurals

This note concerns a few common patterns of change in usage of plurals, namely:

 * The tendency of plural forms like criteria and panini to come to be used in the singular, sometimes with a "double plural" like paninis.
 * The tendency of plural forms like data and media to come to be used as uncountable (and thus grammatically singular).
 * The tendency of singular forms like concerto and tsunami to have alternate plural forms (concertos/concerti and tsunamis/tsunami in the present case).

Phenomena like these are studied extensively by real linguists, and this note is based largely on ideas in Steven Pinker's excellent Words and Rules (which unfortunately I don't have handy at the moment :-). As always, any errors and distortions are mine. In particular, the present draft is very rough and not particularly well argued. Though I believe that the conclusions here are essentially plausible, I'm not really expecting anyone who doesn't already agree with them to be swayed.

As I write this, there is a spirited discussion in progress concerning "descriptive" and "prescriptive" approaches in Wiktionary. I'm going to try to duck all that here by saying that I'm just trying to document what people say without pronouncing it either "correct" or "incorrect", and I can do this because this is my own User: space and not an actual Wiktionary article. So there.

The common thread in all three examples is that the terms in question were borrowed from languages with significantly different rules for plural formation. Here are the "native" singular and plural forms for the terms above, by which I mean the forms the plural would take if borrowed directly:

Generally, when a noun is borrowed, it is borrowed with its original plural intact, perhaps in part because a speaker borrowing a foreign phrase feels prestigious in knowing the "correct" inflection. However, if a borrowing catches on, the great majority of speakers using the borrowed term are likely to be unaware of its origin, much less the inflections. These speakers re-analyze the term according to the information available to them.

The simplest of the cases above is the case of multiple plurals. Some users of concerto are aware that the plural in Italian is concerti, some aren't, and some may know and not care. As a general rule, and irregular form will only be maintained if there is reason to remember it. This happens in the case of common words — it's no accident that common words like be and go tend to be the least regular — and also when speakers have some non-linguistic reason to maintain a distinction.

In the case of concerto classical music buffs have reason to use the term frequently, and are also more likely to care about maintaining the distinction, perhaps for esthetic reasons, but also as part of the ubiquitous human tendency to linguistically mark membership in a social community. Such speakers will also account for a disproportionate amount of uses of concerti. The rest of the world will see a somewhat unfamiliar word and automatically apply the usual inflection rule to come up with concertos.

Pinker also lists a number of situations in which irregular forms become regular for purely linguistic reasons. This accounts for cases like flied out in the baseball sense, and also for cases like mediums in the sense of "I'd like to order two smalls, three mediums and a large." and probably for cases like "Houdini spent much of his life investigating the claims of mediums."

However, this is not the same phenomenon as is seen in "Please be sure the media is formatted." and "The media has a hidden agenda." In these cases, the borrowed word was originally used in its grammatically plural sense (plural of storage medium and news medium respectively). As such a term moves from specialized to popular use, the only means of keeping the irregular form alive is constant repetition in clearly plural contexts. ''[hmm. . . singular "means" is an intersting case itself]''

In English, this will only occur in the nominative and even then not always. That is, "The media are biased." is clearly plural, but "the bias of the media" or even "The media may be biased." could be either singular or plural.

In cases like "media" and "data" there is also a plausible alternate interpretation: the unfamiliar term is a mass noun. Thus storage media becomes a notional material that holds bits, and news media becomes a notional grouping like crowd or congregation which (in American usage, at least) is treated as grammatically singular. Or the media may become some sort of depersonalized information-carrying conduit.

In either case, it becomes easy to interpret please format the media. the bias of the media and the media may be biased as referring to a mass noun, and ignore the occasional the media are biased as anomalous or even as an invariant form. If this analysis is correct, we should expect to see more such usages for nouns that may act as mass nouns. Another example would be graffiti. Archeologists will note an individual graffito, but civic leaders are generally concerned with the scourge of graffiti.

It probably also helps if the singular is rarely if ever seen. When does one speak of a single spaghetto? This would account for the various kinds of pasta, which are almost invariably plural in Italian and mass nouns in English:

Now what about criteria, phenomena, biscotti and panini?

In all these cases, there is no obvious singular form, nor is any of them plausibly a mass noun. One hears There are three criteria for admission. or These phenomena are hard to explain. or Panini or Biscotti at the top of a menu section. I suspect that in these cases the foreign term is liable to be analyzed as invariant — the plural form is taken as both singular and plural. Even when the proper singular is seen (The new point guard was a real phenomenon in high school) it may be interpreted as an independent borrowing of a presumably related term, and not as the singular.

Alternatively, speakers may differ as to whether they recognize the irregular singular, leading to the mirror image of the concerto/concerti case: some recognize phenomenon as the singular, some take phenomena as invariant.

In the case of biscotti and panini, mass market chains have for whatever reason seen fit to use the invariant form. I've never seen biscotto or panino used outside Italy. Whether the word is taken as invariant or is given a regularized "double plural" is probably a matter of how often the plural is seen. I'm pretty sure I've heard both "two biscotti" and "two biscottis", but I suspect that biscottis will win.

There may be a common thread in all these cases beyond foreign borrowing, namely the tendency to treat an unfamiliar irregular noun as invariant. This would explain usages like a graffiti, which gets about 20 times the google hits that a graffito gets, as well as explaining singular criteria etc. Cases like media and data can be interpreted either as invariants or mass nouns, or possibly both.

Talk:graffiti

A couple of edits ago now, I did a google for "a graffiti" and "a graffito" and concluded that graffiti was the prevalent singular form.

I then actually looked at the hits, and realized that "a graffiti" was always part of a phrase like "a graffiti font" or "a graffiti-covered wall".

So I then tried "a small graffiti" and found (drumroll) "a small graffiti-covered" etc. etc.

So I tried "a graffiti is" and found mostly "(a) Graffiti is a major problem here" or "Q: What is graffiti? A: Graffiti is ...". There were also some legitimate singular uses, but I didn't count them.

On the other hand, "a graffito is" got about 50 hits, most of which looked good, but many of which related to the archeological sense.

Thus the current form of the usage note.

In answer to the query why I've added hip-hop to the See also section, it's because graffiti is frequently cited as one of the four elements of hip-hop, along with "Mcing, Djing and Breakdancing" as taken from this page chosen from the top of the Google hits.

 * Hmm . . . that account seems a bit mythologized, but it's certainly enough to associate the words. -dmh 16:56, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

But I'm still unsure what spelling variants are usual for "hip-hop". — Hippietrail 12:20, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation
How do you pronounce the word anyway?

grah-FEE-tee, in my dialect. -- 130.194.13.105 01:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Verb forms
Not really anything special, but I have noticed graffiti being used as a noun (ie "Those damn kinds are graffiti-ing the entire neighborhood!).

Of course, inflecting graffiti still doesn't look right... -- 130.194.13.105 01:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * That's a verb use you're pointing out, not a noun. And I certainly hear it used that way here in Australia too. — Hippietrail 00:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Now there is the use like this: The place has been graffiti - ed. Makes sense to me, and I think this use would be as a transitive verb.

Archaeological use
Wikipedia's article, I think, supports the usage in question of verification. That's how I interpret it, at least--I'm equating "informal" to the vandalism definition. Galenus 23:43, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Usage notes
Specific kinds of set phrase may include: idioms, whose meanings cannot be determined from their parts; proverbs, whose meanings can be derived from their parts and which express practical wisdom and often take the form of complete sentences; and catchphrases, set phrases associated with a specific person or group. Most idioms and proverbs are not set phrases, however, as significant variation is often possible. Also many idiomatic expressions do not form single units but allow intervening terms.

Set phrases are often clichés or colloquialisms, but these terms may include expressions other than set phrases.

halogen

Etymology
From + γεν- (gen-), "to produce" (coined by Berzelius in 1842).

Noun

 * 1) (chemistry) Any element of group 17, i.e. fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine and tennessine.
 * 2) A light fixture in which the filament is surrounded by an atmosphere of a halogen gas.

Usage notes
When the term was coined, all known group 17 elements formed salts on reaction with a metal. This may not be true for the recently discovered superheavy element tennessine, though experiments cannot yet be carried out because of its short lifetime and the difficulty of manufacturing it. Chemists usually include tennessine as a halogen to extend the term to all of group 17, though those specializing in the chemistry of superheavy elements may exclude it.

Talk:idiomatic

This definition is wrong, it is worded as a noun definition. "idiomatic" does not signify "a phrase". — Hippietrail 11:36, 12 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The word is infact an adjectif, meaning "in accordance with the idiom(s) of a language, dialect, etc." An idiom can be either (1) a language or (2)a phrase or sentence whose meaning is not obvious through knowledge of individual meanings of the constituent words (ex. in order to ) [User Giofussy]

Importance
Careful here. This word is used in the definition of what content belongs on wiktionary. Mathiastck 00:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

That IPA
...looks seriously wrong to me. It's not pronounced "aidomatic", is it...? I'll change it and you can revert it if I'm wrong. 80.41.196.77 19:44, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Sourced definitions
Sourced definitions of idiomatic:
 * Of or pertaining to, or conforming to, the mode of expression peculiar to a language; as, an idiomatic meaning; an idiomatic phrase.
 * Of, relating to or conforming to idiom.
 * Specific to the style of a particular group or people.
 * Sounding natural.

To support the above, let us also source idiom from Webster 1913:
 * 1. The syntactical or structural form peculiar to any language; the genius or cast of a language. Idiom may be employed loosely and figuratively as a synonym of language or dialect, but in its proper sense it signifies the totality of the general rules of construction which characterize the syntax of a particular language and distinguish it from other tongues.
 * 2. An expression conforming or appropriate to the peculiar structural form of a language.
 * 3. A combination of words having a meaning peculiar to itself and not predictable as a combination of the meanings of the individual words, but sanctioned by usage; as, an idiomatic expression; less commonly, a single word used in a peculiar sense. It is not by means of rules that such idioms as the following are made current: "I can make nothing of it." "He treats his subject home." Dryden. "It is that within us that makes for righteousness." M. Arnold.
 * 4. The phrase forms peculiar to a particular author; as, written in his own idiom.
 * 5. Dialect; a variant form of a language.

Talk:hang

PIE root
I'm almost certain that the Proto-Indo-European root for the English term should be and not, following the rules of the centum-satem isogloss. Sanskrit and Albanian have palatalized derivatives. I'm going to change it, unless anyone disagrees with me. Jackwolfroven (talk) 04:33, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Couldn't the Sanskrit and Albanian descendants have secondary palatalisation? Sanskrit is known to have palatalised certain consonants before -e-. 04:36, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It's also very bad form to ask for consensus about a change and then immediately make the change without any kind of discussion. 04:37, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Hung vs hanged
I have been told that in almost all cases, the past of this verb is "hung", except capital punishment... hence the saying "people are hanged and pictures are hung".

 * Yup, though 'hung' has always been an alternative in the execution sense. Garik 00:34, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

 * The article currently mentions this under "usage notes", but is there any authority for this distinction? It would be nice if we could say that, for example, some style guides recommend one versus the other, or some survey has been done of usage, or so on, rather than an ad hoc recommendation. --24.167.65.213 08:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

In the usage notes it states "in Old English there were separate words for transitive (whence hanged) and intransitive (whence hung)." but the transitive verb in Old English was a strong verb while the intransitive use was a weak verb, so that explanation doesn't make sense. It seems more likely that it was simply an archaism preserved in legal language, but that's just a guess. I'm taking out the part about Old English, though, since it conflicts with the actual Old English usage XinaNicole (talk) 23:21, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

hang
Sense "(transitive) To place on a hook" redundant with previous "(transitive) To cause (something) to be suspended". I mean, it's a subset of the previous, but I don't think anyone uses "hang" to mean "place on a hook, to the exclusion of suspending it by other means": no one would say "I said to hang it, not to suspend it, so why didn't you put it on a hook?".—msh210 ℠  23:27, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I asked you to hang your coat, so why is it still hanging on the chair?
 * Keep. DAVilla 12:45, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I think that that's a social-knowledge thing, not a meaning of the word. Meaning, when someone says "hang a coat", especially when he asks someone to hang a coat, he means on a hook (or hanger), even though the word hang doesn't mean that.   —msh210  ℠  00:48, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * How can the word not mean that, if that's how it's used? In such cases, hang means to hang up neatly, on a hook or hanger or however it should be. If someone were to say "dangle", "drape", "droop", or "suspend a coat", it wouldn't mean the same thing. DAVilla 06:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Consider this analogue: Someone tells his kid "take out the garbage". He means for the kid to take the garbage from inside the house to outside the house and put it in an outdoor garbage bin. But the meaning of "take out the garbage" is to take the garbage from inside the house to outside the house; that the kid is then expected to put it in a garbage bin is not because that's the meaning of the words spoken but because that's the way garbage is taken out. Likewise here: if a parent asks a kid to hang his coat, he means to put it on a hanger or hook not because that's the meaning of "hang your coat" but because that's how one hangs a coat. Another analogue, in case you didn't like my first: Someone tells his underling "make ten copies of this report, one for each person at the meeting": the underling then knows to copy them onto white paper. Not because "make copies" precludes fuchsia paper, but merely because that's how one makes copies (in that office). If a parent tells a kid "dangle your coat" then of course he'll be justified in not hanging it on a hanger, but that's not because "hang" means on a hanger: it's merely because the instruction was deliberately worded oddly and therefore implies that the action should/can be odd. Here's an exception, which shows that "suspend" and "hang" are the same: If a kid knows his parent likes to use weird words, and the parent frequently says things like "set up your bed" (instead of "make") or "fix dinner" (in areas where that's not the idiom, as a deliberate oddity), then the kid should certainly hang the coat on a hanger if the parents says "suspend your coat".   —msh210  ℠  17:27, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

 * If you can find documented use of suspend to mean hang clothing properly then we should include it. I also think that copy should say "especially on white paper" and that take out the garbage is idiomatic. DAVilla 04:14, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Fwiw, the sense was added in .—msh210 ℠  20:21, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

 * compare, , doublets which were borrowed later. Compare also 🇨🇬. The sense of "astute" or "crafty" developed from medieval times, when the word was used to describe scholars and learned people, who were familiar with Latin and were involved in a process of "Latinization", i.e. using and incorporating learned terms. It was also used as a general designation for Romance speakers in the Middle Ages, as opposed to others speaking different kinds of languages, especially Arabic in the context of Spain/Iberia (compare the name of Ladino, the Sephardic Jewish language of Spain, descended from a form of Old Spanish, as well as the Ladin of northern Italy). The sense of "mestizo" developed in colonial Central America when the term was originally applied to those indigenous people who came to speak only Spanish.
