Hard work in these temperatures.

 

The farmer has made the hay bales. Present Perfect Simple

 

The farmer is stacking them in the field. Present Continuous

Today's word is basilect, which comes from Latin basis + dialectus (dialect). Earliest documented use: 1965.

 

There’s a saying: A language is a dialect with an army and a navy. It was popularized by the sociolinguist Max Weinreich. The idea is that what we call a “dialect” is not any less grammatical or in any way inferior to a “language”. The distinction has more to do with other factors, such as the social status accorded by the political and economic might of its speakers.

 

For example, the reason the flavor of English spoken around London or French spoken around Paris is considered “standard” is not because there’s something special about them. It’s because people in that area have more power. In reality, we all speak a dialect. The opposite of basilect is acrolect, the most prestigious variety of a language. In the middle is mesolect.

When we feature a word, we include one or more examples from a published work. The point is to show that it's a word in actual use. This week we are showing those words in use, not in transient writing, but in lines that we quote again and again, sometimes over hundreds of years.

 

Consider these a bonus THOUGHTS FOR TODAY. We'll feature examples from the works of Richard Steele, John Donne, Emily Dickinson, Shakespeare, and Norman Angell.

 

Today's word is approbation, from Latin approbation, from ad- (toward) + probatus, from probare (to test the goodness of). Earliest documented use: 1393.

 

"Whenever you commend, add your reasons for doing so; it is this which distinguishes the approbation of a man of sense from the flattery of sycophants and admiration of fools."

- Richard Steele; The Art of Conversation; The Spectator; 1711.

A fun word to integrate into your vocabulary, and perhaps your next Among Us game too.
