Which stranded #prepositions are you most and least adverse to fronting when #writing something formal? For example, "Whom did he talk TO?" (stranded) vs "TO whom did he talk?" (fronted).

Voici une phrase (un SN) en #créole #louisianais du 19e siècle que j'aime bien:

«domestique nomme la jéne fille la té lainmin»

Ça se trouve dans le livre #Louisiana #Folktales, recueillis par Alcée Fortier. Voici une autre #orthographe et puis une #traduction:

«domestique homme-la jeune fille-la 'tait l-aimer»
«la domestique de l'homme que la jeune fille aimait»

Les #prépositions et #pronoms relatifs est beaucoup moins fréquents en #créolelouisianais.

🏭 Hi, I’m very pleased to tell you I’ve finished working on two decks in my new Anki deck ‘factory’, which is a Git monorepo where the work on all of my new decks is done. Feel free to check it out here 🙂

-
😜 One deck is for Gitmoji, a more-or-less standardised emoji guide for commit messages.
-
🤏 The other one is a deck for structures and idioms involving prepositional phrases in Welsh. If you learn Welsh it might be quite useful for you; otherwise I guess it might… not.
-
🔊 In addition, my Tatoeba decks are also linked there. They are quite old (2019); there are languages which have many new sentences with audio since then. Sometime I will redo them all (although the process is automatic to a large degree, it’s still quite time consuming).

What’s next?

- A deck based on Thorne’s
A Comprehensive Welsh grammar (Gramadeg Cymraeg cynhwysfawr). Tons of (Literary) Welsh sentences, many of which are taken from real native texts, with grammatical explanations. This is quite a massive project.
- Updating and sharing some decks I’ve worked on in the past (some are finished, some are not). This includes decks for Breton, Welsh, French, Old Norse, Sámi languages, toki pona and Middle Welsh.

What’s not?

- Any ‘AI’ nonsense
🤖

Everything will appear in the table in the above repository, and I will occasionally post announcements about new decks here

"Her voice rose to a crescendo."

No, no, no! Fetch a red pen!

"Her voice rose in a crescendo."

Ah, that's better.

Je pense que les #prépositions de lieu dans le #français de #Louisiane apé changer davantage. Éoù le monde est constaté disant «en-dedans» [ɑ̃dədɑ̃] dans le temps dans tous les contextes éoù d'autres disent «dans», dans mes données d'autour de #Lafayette, c'est toujours «en-dans» [ɑ̃dɑ̃]. C'est pas simplement un affaiblissement du «de-» non plus; le «de-» est souvent complètement gone.
