Talk:beef

beeves
"beeves" is archaic. I forget where I've seen it, but I'm pretty sure it's Modern English. If not, it's certainly Middle English. It's in the same family as leaves, wives, knives, lives etc. It might still be around but that we hardly ever use "beef" in the sense of "male cow" as opposed to the mass noun sense of "meat". As it is, the irregular form doesn't see enough use to be retained. If it were, we might well see "beeves" as the plural of "male cow" and "beefs" as the plural of "complaint" (which is to be expected in any case -- see Pinker's Words and Rules for more). -dmh 05:15, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Is this UK or obsolete? --Connel MacKenzie 19:11, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Probably both, or archaic. Not in current use except as a poetic term.  Dialect has beese as a plural, but it is probably just a pronunciation of beasts.    D b f  i  r  s   09:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Isn't "cattle" the common plural of "beef"?
 * No more than "flock" is the plural of "bird". They are different words. Equinox ◑ 21:27, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

RFV discussion
Rfv-sense: "(countable) Would be "a side of beef". A chunk, cut or piece not being the whole piece, compare ham."

I'm not sure what was intended, but what is written seems to define "beef" as meaning "a (countable) piece, chunk or side of (uncountable) beef. I am unfamiliar with this usage and don't find it in MWOnline, which usually has the largest number of senses and subsenses among on-line dictionaries. MW does have a countable sense, "a dressed carcass of a beef animal", which I had also not heard before. This would presumably be two "sides" of beef, contrary to "a side" of beef as our challenged sense states. DCDuring TALK 14:50, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

 * RFV failed. Equinox ◑ 16:06, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

In rap music culture
The "complaint or disagreement" sense is uncountable in rap music culture. A rapper has "beef" with somebody, not "a beef". Equinox ◑ 13:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * It can be countable. "He's got beefs with everyone", for example. WurdSnatcher (talk) 19:01, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh wow, didn't notice your comment was three years old. anyway I didn't change countability, it was marked as both and I left it that way. I did move stuff into subsenses today and tweaked the AAVE sense a bit (plus added another). WurdSnatcher (talk) 19:09, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Is it really AAVE? I often see non-AAVE-speaking Americans using it. — Ungoliant (falai) 19:12, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It was originally, but has crossed over to some degree. It's still a lot more common in AAVE though I think. WurdSnatcher (talk) 19:26, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

These are just sound mnemonics....Graphical ones to be added later...

As in order at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Chinese_Pinyin_index_a#a :

a
Possible mnemonic of tieing together meanings of Chinese "a": a dirty pickle (in the mouth) can make one hoarse of voice (and need to exclaim ah!)

 * a1: Used in translation; pickle/dirty; actinium; ac; prefix for people's names/used in transliteration;
 * a2: hoarse of voice
 * a3: ?
 * a4: ?
 * a5: exclamatory particle; ?

ai1
Possible mnemonic of tieing together meanings of Chinese "ai1": "I (ai) exclaimed in agreement (and in order) that I (ai) pitied him who longed for the dust."

1  sorrow, grief, pity, to grieve for, to pity, to lament

2  an interjection, hey, lookout, why etc

3  an interjection, to express realization or agreement (yes, oh, right, etc)

4  (Cantonese) that

5  ?

6  dirt, dust, angstrom

7  ?

8  lean to, in order, in sequence

9  desire, want, long for; intend

Below is an ongoing list for myself (aimed at being comprehensive) of an overview of possible methods of Chinese language study (along with software or websites which I find to be useful to do so). I am hopeful for the chance that some (free!) software might eventually make possible all of the below possibilities in one integrated package.

Note on Clavis Sinica below: Even though this program is a genius program, it does not allow one to view multiple characters at a time and their meaning (unless connected). This may be disadvantageous for learning the characters for the first time (but ok for testing oneself). A better option may be to paste a list of characters to be studied to the Annotator, opting to have a "separate wordlist" generated (deselect zhuyin).

Character by part (common groupings):

 * Stroke number - (Annotator is ideal; Clavis Sinica with cut-and-pasted list of characters of a given number of strokes - See Wiktionary:Chinese_total_strokes_index)
 * Study of other characters with similar number of strokes (e.g., start with comparing and learning characters with few strokes to build vocabulary and confidence)
 * One could start with the most common or least frequent stroke numbers...
 * Shape - (Annotator is ideal; Clavis Sinica with cut-and-pasted list of characters of a given number of strokes - See Wiktionary:Chinese_four_corner_index or Wiktionary:Chinese_Cangjie_index though neither seems ideal at gathering very similar shapes together (ideally it would be arranged 2-dimensionally for ideal comparisons)
 * Study of characters with that similar shape; very useful for differentiating between graphic "minimal pairs" if one can borrow a phonology term
 * While doing such study, it may also be ideal to use graphic mnemonics (in order not to overapply one mnemonic to other similar shaped characters (note: use not only images (preferably real mnemonics, but if better for memory, false ones), but borrowing also other already-known characters).
 * Just a list would ideally (and naturally) be arranged by stroke number as well
 * One could start with the most common or least frequent shapes...
 * Radical - (Clavis Sinica)
 * Nice formatting but no tones
 * Little formatting but has tones
 * Study of other characters that use that radical
 * While doing such study, it may also be ideal to use graphic mnemonics since a radical mnemonic would be helpful in that these are intended to convey meaning (if the radical itself does not provide a readily apparent image as should usually be the case); (note: use not only images (preferably real mnemonics, but if better for memory, false ones), but borrowing also other already-known characters).
 * One might also study other thematic groupings (see Sino-Tibetan_Swadesh_lists or do Google search or Basic_English_template_Sino-Tibetan (or Google Search?)).
 * One could start with the most common or least frequent radicals...
 * Phonetic component (additional root) - (Annotator would be ideal if one could get a list of characters using the same additional root/phonetic component; Clavis Sinica only one at a time)
 * This kind of study may be useful in noting (the likely many) exceptions for pronunciation of a given additional root.
 * Study of other characters that use that additional root
 * One could start with the most common or least frequent phonetic components/additional roots...
 * Character - (Clavis Sinica)
 * Study of other characters that use that character as part of the character
 * While doing such study, it may also be ideal to use graphic mnemonics since one would not wish to overapply one mnemonic to other characters using that mnemonic (or one should exploit this mnemonic in combination with the other components of the larger character); (note: use not only images (preferably real mnemonics, but if better for memory, false ones), but borrowing also other already-known characters)
 * One could start with the most common or least frequently used component characters...
 * Compound - (Clavis Sinica)
 * Study of other compounds that use that character
 * While doing such study, it may also be ideal to use graphic mnemonics to see how the common component may be related to other uses; (note: use not only images (preferably real mnemonics, but if better for memory, false ones), but borrowing also other already-known characters).
 * One could start with the most common or least frequent compounds within this list of compounds using a given character...

Character (or compound) by frequency
(Annotator is ideal; Clavis Sinica with cut-and-pasted list of characters of a given number of strokes - See Jun Da frequency lists for characters and compounds (bigrams)); see also this word list:
 * One would think this would correspond somewhat with number of strokes, but it is not necessarily the case (maybe there is some small correlation).
 * One should consider frequency lists of compounds as well, noting how characters gain or drop in rank depending on how they are considered

Character (or compound) by theme

 * For basic word study, one could study Chinese (or even multiple languages at once) effectively by adding categories to and then sorting the following lists by such categories: Sino-Tibetan Swadesh lists and Basic English template Sino-Tibetan. It can be much easier to rehearse words when it is easy to relate them together in a thematic grouping (e.g., learning the words for various utensils at once or various food items at once, etc.)

Sound (including study of characters with common sounds)

 * Study of sounds and/or characters corresponding to these sounds (especially considering different characters which can have the same sound/tone or even just sound); see Wiktionary:Chinese_Pinyin_index; one might also obtain a list of specific sounds (e.g., for word frequency--see below) by using a search for a given syllable within ~WordLookup for the mac or, better yet, viewing the resulting list from characters borrowed from the Wiktionary pinyin index for a given sound or sounds (e.g., a group with the same sound but different tones (though ideally first common tones too)) and pasting them into Annotator ideally or Clavis Sinica for testing)
 * Such study would be of interest in contrasting the words (by sound alone and/or character) which have the same sound.
 * Such study might be done by generating and weaving together common meanings (even if false) between characters (or words for those not learning characters) of common sound (e.g., somehow mentally linking tang1 (soup) and tang2 (hallway or sugar) together)
 * Such study might be done in conjunction with the phonetic/additional root: seeing whether the additional root is shared and for which ones; and seeing which characters have a similar sound but do not share the same phonetic/additional root
 * Frequency (most or least common) of sound or sound/tone (syllables, but phonemes also interesting) might be a good way to do such study (as well as alphabetical or other systematic approaches) (study by tone alone may be interest if broad correlations could be found, say between third-toned characters and specific meaning-types or with certain-toned characters and certain pronunciations); see Chinese text computing; see this sound frequency count (may need to be sorted by frequency); see also list on local HD: freq-notones3.cwk and freq3-b-withtone.cwk ; see also "Study of sounds" above on how to use software (online or off-line) this way; about 24 have tone 5 also (399 groups of nontonal syllables--study one group per day for a year)
 * Sound mnemonics may be of use here in associating sounds from Chinese with those of English (or more familiar Chinese sounds)

Practice in reading/writing:

 * Would ideally have randomized flashcards for any of the above lists (words or sentences), prompting for a translation Chinese <--> English

Practice in speaking/listening

 * Would ideally have randomized sound "flashcards" for any of the above lists (words or sentences), prompting for a translation Chinese <--> English

All of the above would ideally be searchable with corresponding example sentences (only some print dictionaries?).

All of the above (if studying radicals/characters) would also be ideally shown with ancestral forms of each character.

See radical section on study with other thematic groupings.

Talk:portmanteau word

I have moved the quotation here from "portmanteau" because it is for "portmanteau word". However, it does not illustrate the sense, being instead a variation on the actual meaning as defined in this entry. Does anyone have a better quotation that could be used instead? — Paul G 07:21, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I do not readily find a phonetic spelling. Is this general to Wiktionary? -Thomas G. Marshall

portmanteau word
This term seems like it is the sum of its parts to me. Shouldn't it just be merged into the linguistic sense of portmanteau, the definition of which is currently just "A portmanteau word? SoccerMan2009 05:25, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

 * We probably need portmanteau term and portmanteau expression, too. DCDuring TALK 15:31, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * My impression is — and I may well be wrong — that early uses of portmanteau word meant portmanteau in the suitcase sense, not the word sense. That is, they meant "word which is like a portmanteau (suitcase)". I think it no longer means that, now meaning instead "word which is a portmanteau". Thus, if my suspicions are correct, then this (obsoletely) is not a SoP. We include dated and obsolete terms. Are these then grounds for inclusion of portmanteau word? I suppose so, though I fear a slippery slope. — msh210 ℠ 16:28, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Frankenstein

Etymology
From, various places named for +. The use of referencing mad scientists derives from Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus, where Victor Frankenstein assembles a man from pieces of various corpses and brings him to life with electricity. Use of the reference to the monster itself is an ellipsis of the earlier, with the monster's usual modern appearance derived from Boris Karloff's performance in the 1931 film Frankenstein.

Proper noun

 * 1) Various small towns in Germany.
 * 2)  A former name of,.
 * 3)   Victor Frankenstein, a fictional character and the main protagonist and title character in 's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.
 * 4)   The unnamed monster created by Victor Frankenstein: a fictional character who first appeared in 's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus as the main antagonist.
 * 1)   Victor Frankenstein, a fictional character and the main protagonist and title character in 's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.
 * 2)   The unnamed monster created by Victor Frankenstein: a fictional character who first appeared in 's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus as the main antagonist.
 * 1)   The unnamed monster created by Victor Frankenstein: a fictional character who first appeared in 's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus as the main antagonist.

Usage notes

 * Frankenstein was the name of the scientist in Shelley's novel, and the monster was unnamed. Use of Frankenstein as a proper name for the monster is sometimes proscribed as a mistake, although it developed from greater use of the common noun below and from the monster's appearance in other media, usually without the Shelley backstory.

Noun

 * 1)  A monster composed of body parts from various corpses attached and brought back to life by a mad scientist, typically strong, unable to speak clearly, and misunderstood.

Usage notes

 * Generally, Frankenstein or is used for monsters similar to the one in Shelley's novel. The prefix  only refers to misbegotten creations of careless scientists, not the scientists themselves, and use for mad scientists typically needs to be clarified by context or through additional terms like, , etc. Some speakers, however, sharply disagree and insist that, because Frankenstein was the name of the scientist in the original story, it can only be used for others like him and the monster should only ever be called  etc.

Verb

 * 1)  To combine two or more similar elements into a consistent entity, or a cohesive idea.

Talk:frankenfood

 * The IPA needs a length mark after the u. I can't do this in the browser I'm using - could someone add one, please?
 * It seems to be using yet another variation on the many ways to write English in IPA. Americans don't seem to represent long vowels. But then again somebody else here got grumpy when I tried to talk about syllabic "l" and "n" yet here it is here. Also sometimes people are using the period/full stop as a syllabication mark. — I'll replace it with the usual 3-system way in which I've been doing pronunciations. — Hippietrail 09:11, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Trained in linguistics in the United States in the 1970s, I was taught not to put the long sign in a phonemic transcription but only in a phonetic one, for what it's worth. — Ph7five (talk) 15:05, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Is this only uncountable? Can the word also mean "a food that has been genetically modified", which would be countable?
 * I've only heard it in the uncountable. But it's not as common in Australia as in USA so far. Still, no point adding it till we spot it. Have you tried Google? — Hippietrail 09:11, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

— Paul G 08:01, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

etymology
I came here because Wordnik reflected the content of this article before this edit and I cannot understand the exact rationale for removing the information, although the decision to reclassify "franken-" as a prefix rather than one element in a blend is clear to me. What I was looking for was discussion of the dating. Personally I believe we often used this word long before 1992 in the meaning of "artificial, industrial food" (see below). &mdash Ph7five (talk) 15:25, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

other meaning, countable
Of course a word may be countable in some meanings and not others (and I hope no one will mind if I share some links on this word). As noted above in re etymology, I believe I was using this word long before the documented date and therefore share precisely the take on it stated by Erik Kloeppel in his comment to Anu Garg's AWAD list. This would never have been countable, back in the day. Another meaning (missing from our article) is the "mish-mash recipe" sense in which the eponymous TV show uses "frankenfood." In this and in the meaning of "a kind of transgenic food" I think we have to admit the word's usage as a de facto countable noun. Here are some examples: http://brobible.com/guyism/article/frankenfood/ http://theportmanteauarchive.com/frankenfood/ http://grist.org/food/frankenfoods-good-for-big-business-bad-for-the-rest-of-us/ https://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2015/02/10/the-original-frankenfoods/ (though I really do not believe Paul Lewis coined the term) http://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/frankenfood-does-it-deserve-the-name/ At least in the latter meaning the countable-uncountable distinction parallels that of "food" tout court. So I'm going to look in the tearoom about how to better lend a hand here if I have time... — Ph7five (talk) 15:49, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
