[Corpora-List] Boot Camp saga

[W. Louw]

Hello All

The type of activity that Justin will find converting will be to put a
hypothesis to the test.

Collocation and co-selection will settle it all. Collocation settled the
problems that Malinowski had with generic terms in Kiriwina in 1921. No
computers then! In Kiriwina he found that things were named WOOD because they
were made of wood. So fishing made no sense: boat was wood, oars were wood,
rudder was wood, flails for chasing fish were wood. Firth had the solution:
sail, row, steer, beat.

Unless we involve the philosophers we will never reach science. I really
appreciate Wolfgang's contributions because they are erudite. He reads. The
philosopher we need to start with is Peter Helias around 1240AD. He gave us
substance and accidents. What gives a stool its stoolness?? See how
Wittgensteinian logical space dominates. Is it only in Zimbabwe that we do this?
