Poly Vocality Where The Freaks At

    • Documentaire

Greetings Sports Fans, 

Here we have a snippet on how the english language is rooted in various linguist interpretations and polyvocal tradition. Truly, I am but a dictionary root interpreting nerd, squeezing and zesting oranges and lemons otherwise known as words. This could be a way to ask how perception of language impacts lived experiences. 

My immediate reaction to a word like surrender conjures sacrifice and an emotional obligation; however, the roots of the word complete flip my initial perspective.

Surrender : here are some of my favs from the Oxford Languages Definitions on Google:


(of an insured person) cancel (a life insurance policy) and receive back a proportion of the premiums paid
cease resistance
(in a sports contest) lose (a point, game, or advantage)
abandon oneself entirely to (a powerful emotion or influence)

Render : here are some of my favs from the Oxford Languages Definitions on Google:


deliver (a verdict or judgment)
cause to be or become; make.** 
represent or depict artistically.
perform (a piece)
translate.
process (the carcass of an animal) in order to extract proteins, fats, and other usable parts.
a first coat of plaster applied to a brick or stone surface.

COMPUTING

process (an outline image) using color and shading in order to make it appear solid and three-dimensional.
