How so?
koavf@lemmy.mlOPto Linguistics@mander.xyz•Language Log » Animal calls are not comparable to human speech2·27 days agoSure but what I am struggling to understand here is that these sets of communication elements must have been generated in the first place by the animals that use them, so this resolves nothing really. Is there something I am missing here?
I am sure that it is not, but more kind words on the Internet are always appreciated.

Because you are responding to the post itself without reading the post. You have nothing to add if you’re fundamentally ignorant of what the source is. You may have something meaningful to add in response to another comment, but this is no different than saying "I didn’t watch this movie, but here’s what I think!’ or not doing the reading in a book club and just showing up to throw out random conjecture.
If you didn’t read the article, then don’t leave a top-level comment.
Did you read the article?
“All colors are made up by the brain. Full stop,” says this visual scientist at Newcastle University in England. They’re our brain’s way of interpreting signals from our eyes. And they add so much meaning to things we perceive, she says.

koavf@lemmy.mlOPto Linguistics@mander.xyz•The Foreign Language That Changed My Teenage Son’s Life13·5 months agoIf you want to post a top-level comment, you should read the article first. If you don’t want to read the article, then you don’t have to comment here. The goal of posting this article is to discuss this article, not what you made of someone else’s summary of an article or general thoughts about the sorts of themes that could be present in an article you didn’t read or whatever: that is not productive or useful conversation. If there’s a thread on a topic where you don’t know about the topic, you can choose to skip it. You also can read this article and claiming that you can’t is just disingenuous. You don’t want to pay what it costs, which is fine, but it’s not like it’s unreadable to you: you’re choosing to not read it.
koavf@lemmy.mlOPto Linguistics@mander.xyz•The Foreign Language That Changed My Teenage Son’s Life13·5 months agoI am not new and your answer was inadequate. It is perfectly fine for me to want to talk about a book without giving you a free copy of the book: you can just move on and not talk about it if you are unwilling to buy it. I can talk about movies without buying you a ticket or a foreign place without buying you a plane ride. You are not owed a free copy of someone else’s work and “paywall” is an entitled non-comment that does not add to discussion. If you can’t even be bothered to use a complete sentence, you definitely do epitomize a certain approach on the modern web. You will have to deal with the fact that some things cost money.

Not at all. Your comment was completely appropriate and also welcome. Thanks for your context and furthering the conversation meaningfully.
