I guess I'm anal about being exact with terminology because if we want to object to new technology we better be exact about what we objecting too! There's a huge difference between a new non Boolean/non lexical search retrieval ranking method and RAG which runs the risk of LLMs hallucinating.

Si on se souvenait collectivement de nos cours de français, on saurait que ce champ lexical n'est pas neutre et pas choisi au hasard.

but then I think of my three year old who takes delight in rewriting nursery rhymes and is just hugely verbally creative, probably a bit hyper lexical, super curious, also big into physical play and movement and wheels and wonder if an academics-first setting will serve him

I find this type of articles by fellow academics extremely tedious at this point (I have the same opinion of anti-academic research hit pieces). I feel like I can predict the lexical choices they've made even before reading.

Tendo a pensar que a acusação não se sustenta, pq o padrão lexical é o mesmo utilizado pela Wafa, portal pró-Fatah, este último adversário e inimigo do Hamas.

I for one have no issues with Governor Pritzker's readiness to draw on the rich lexical resources offered by the language of Chaucer, Woolf, Auden, and Achembe

Came across a new word, "punctiliar" and am discovering linguistic theories which distinguish between Achievement and Accomplishment, which is pretty highfalutin

That one is actually lexical ambiguity 🤓
Still a fun example. Linguistics rules!

Sometimes one need more control than just letting lexical scoping rule, one reason would be to avoid size effects in caller environment (using `source` with an environment parameter). Other than the more general questions around environment and Namespaces henrikbengtsson.github.io/environments...

Yes, sure. But I don't think it's happening in that way. Like, of course some lexical features are taken up and circulated via social media (mostly from AAVE - as they were with films), but I don't see a widespread gravitation towards AmE in my research...

The writer actually treats lexical innovation and accent change fairly sympathetically. Her worry that all online platforms are 'American' and that young people are accessing them is understandable, but until the UK can offer something to the anglosphere, she's stuck in disapproval/prohibition mode.

My initial stance as a non-arabist (so maybe missing the clue and arguing from the translation) would be that al-layla is an adverbial phrase and that the special feel comes from the lexical semantics of the verb, which makes an adverb of evening time very likely

An intriguing thing about Wasm is its treatment of control structures. Wasm proposes more structured than gotos, but less so that loops: lexical labels.
The idea is that labels are scoped, and jump instructions can only jump to an in-scope label. 1/3
