Tuesday, November 26, 2002 You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo Continuing the fun repeat-o words in a sentence theme.... "A progression using the pronoun, conjunction, and adjective meanings of the word "that" was composed by George Herbert Moberly in the 1850s. 1. I saw that C saw. (i.e., I saw the following: C saw.) 2. C saw that that I saw. (i.e., C saw the thing which I saw.) 3. I saw that that that C saw was so. (i.e., I saw the following: the thing which C saw was so.) 4. C saw that, that that that I saw was so. (i.e., C saw this fact, the following: the thing which I saw was so.) 5. I saw that, that that that that C saw was so. (i.e., I saw this fact, the following: the specific thing which I saw was so.) 6. C saw that that, that that that that I saw was so. (i.e., C saw the specific thing, the following: the specific thing which I saw was so.) 7. I saw that that, that that that that that C saw was so. (i.e., I saw the specific fact, the following: the specific thing which the specific C saw was so.) In the final statement, the first, fourth and seventh occurrences of "that" are adjectives meaning "specific", the second and fifth are pronouns, and the third and sixth are conjunctions. Thus there are seven uses but only three meanings." --- Meanwhile, I have to figure out my enrolment for German at Melb Uni pretty soon. Just sent an email to my course advisor.
