Re Posting Philosopher and Linguist A clarification for re posting the blog! As this blog was not shown included in the recent list of blogs posted by various bloggers of this site, I have decided to re post it to ascertain how this re posted one is treated by the site. Can we distinguish a philosopher from a linguist? Is there really any difference between the two? Whom can we call a philosopher? What does a philosopher do? And who is a linguist? What does a linguist do? We know that philosophy is the study of humans and the world. A philosopher thinks continuously and asks questions all the times. Let us now see whom we could call a linguist? Is such one a person who happens to be a translator? Alternatively, is the person simply a polyglot, a grammarian, or a word aficionado? Now, what does such a person do? May be, the person is the one who is committed to the scientific study of language that includes sound, syntax, definition, significance and many more. Wait please! I can’t proceed further. I did not think that the matter would prove so much complicated for me. I give up as there is an easiest way to find out the difference or differences between these two learned persons! We can probably find out the difference or differences that we are looking for by reading the under mentioned shortest conversations that took place between a philosopher and a linguist somewhere in this planet we call Earth: A philosopher says to a linguist,” What if, instead of periods, women had apostrophes?’ The linguist replied, “They’d be more possessive and have more frequent contractions. Readers, please take no offense! This is just a sugar coated joke that i read somewhere else!.          |

Mr. Looklook, I have read your recent blogs but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to write my comments on them, being a new member on the site. Your blogs are nice and I had a good read. Thank you for encouraging me to post my comments on here. I hope it is ok and you are pleased now. May I ask you why there aren't any other comment?. Am I the only one allowed? I do not know why no other comment could be seen here. May be, my readers did not like the blog . May be , they could not understand what the blog wanted to communicate to the readers indirectly. But ,it is more likely that the readers missed it completely as the site failed to include it in the site's blog list soon after it was posted by me.Those who came to read this particular piece are those readers who visit my blog page regularly like you.Thanks again for showing interest in my blogs, Sabina. Best wishes.

LookLook I posted a couple of blogs not that long ago. they never showed up on the list. By chance I commented on one of Rangers blogs and mentioned this problem and thanks to him he informed me that you now have to comment on your own blog so that it will show up. I never did get any comments after doing this as the list of current blogs was too long and mine was at the end of the list. They change the rules but it is never announced. I am not a regular blogger anyway I mostly comment on other blogs.
