GRGR: Jessica Swanlake

[Glenn Scheper]

Part 5.
Jessica "Swanlake" --> Swan Lake

http://www.soundventure.com/web/footnotes/episode1.html

Swan Lake tells the story of young Prince Siegfried,
who falls in love with the Swan Queen Odette,
a woman transformed into a bird by an evil sorcerer.

Odette explains that she is destined to remain a strange
composite creature, until rescued by a man's undying love. 

Enthralled by her beauty,
The Prince pledges his eternal love -
but later, at a party in honor of his 21st birthday,
he is tricked by the sorcerer, von Rothbart,
into declaring his love for Odile,
an evil twin of Odette.

Realizing his inadvertent betrayal,
the Prince rushes back to the lake.
There, he battles Von Rothbart, and destroys his power.
The lovers are then reunited.

Jessica's boobies

http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19990919/ai_n14254634

 This second sort of boob is claimed by Jonathon
 Green in his Slang Down the Ages to have come
 from bibere,
 the Latin for "to drink",
 or else to be a variant of pap,
 an onomatopoeic word representing the noise made
 by a sucking infant.

 The more orthodox view is that it came from
 bubbi,
 a German dialect word for a teat,
 sometimes shortened in English from bubby to bub,
 which caused,
 or is said to have caused,
 one of my favourite misprints ("Winds that do
 shake the darling bubs of May"),
 and then lengthened again to boob.

 A genteel 18th-century euphemism was neck.

BTW, I found a neat URL today. Let me entice you
with a few sound bytes. The circle as negation
makes me want to think more about circumcision,
and about the intersection of circles, orifices
in the case of body parts and bodily circuits.

Saying It with Pictures: a logical landscape of conceptual graphs  (1.7 Mb)

The most effective symbol to represent a borderline
between zones is to draw a line. For example, a Peirce's cut,
the representations of a negation in conceptual graphs,
is a closed line imprisoning pieces of information
into a negated area.


the meaning of the occurrence of two distinct pieces of information
on the same plane (or area in the presence of Peirce's cuts)
is known: the conjunction of the components is represented.

By construction, negation lines do not intersect each other.

Negation boxes are permeable for coreferences from outside-in

Conversely, the binding of the pronoun 'he' is not resolvable
in the (unacceptable) discourse "It is not the case that a man
came in. He took a chair."

In discourse representation theory, the problem of variable clashes
is solved by always building the representation of a new sentence
in the context of an existing DRS.
