Language Log: Oral what?
Geoff Wade sent in the following banner:
The first thing I noticed was that the banner had something to do with Yīngyǔ 英语 ("English") and that it was announcing some sort of dàsài 大赛 ("big contest"). Then I saw the simple, yet conspicuous, character kǒu 口 ("mouth") twice — right in the middle of the two main lines — so I started to think that maybe the wording had to do with a contest for oral interpreting involving English and wondered, if that were the case, why there was no English on the banner.
At that point, instead of just glancing hurriedly here and there at the banner, I decided to slow down and read it carefully from beginning to end. When I did so, my jaw dropped, for this is what it says:
Shǒujiè quánguó kǒujiāo dàsài
首届全国口交大赛
First National Oral Sex Contest
Yīngyǔ jiāotì kǒujiāo Běijīng sàiqū fùsài
英语交替口交北京赛区复赛
English Consecutive Oral Sex Beijing Division Semi-finals
It's just as well that they didn't translate the sign into English, I reflected, for if they had, no matter what they came up with, it would only have compounded the embarrassment caused by the unfortunate wording. Surely, I thought, what was intended must have been the following:
Shǒujiè quánguó kǒuyì dàsài
首届全国口译大赛
First National Oral Interpretation Contest
Yīngyǔ jiāotì kǒuyì Běijīng sàiqū fùsài
英语交替口译北京赛区复赛
English Consecutive Oral Interpretation Beijing Division Semi-finals
N.B.: Normally I wouldn't put the "oral" in front of "interpretation" when translating kǒuyì 口 译, since "interpretation" by itself implies that it is done orally, but I've kept it in this instance to show the parallel with "oral sex".
Either someone was being awfully naughty when they made this sign, or somebody was playing tricks after the proper sign had been made.
Fortunately, the riddle is solved by looking at this website offering news about the actual competition.
The banner that is circulating widely on the Chinese web has been tampered with by some mischievous netizen. Though not of the sort that the organizers might have wanted, the expertly altered version has certainly generated a lot of publicity for the contest!
Note, however, that the report on the oral interpretation contest is dated June 30, 2010, and the date on the banner itself is June 26, 2010.
Perhaps, if some enterprising Language Log reader looks into the sina account at the bottom right of the doctored version of the banner, they might be able to figure who's responsible for this clever prank.
Brendan O'Kane, a translator who is active in China, quipped: "Passing this on to my interpreter friends. Yet another argument in favor of the 笔译 lifestyle." (VHM: bǐyì 笔译 ["written translation", lit., "brush interpretation"])

Erkan in the Army now...: Cengiz Aktar: Anayasa cephesinden
Anayasa cephesinden
“Temennimiz odur ki Mart sonuna kadar bu iş biter. (…) Bitmemesi halinde, AK Parti’nin bu konuda yaptığı çalışma Meclis gündemine taşınacaktır.” Başbakan’ın 29 ocak grup toplantısında ilân ettiği strateji tıkır tıkır işliyor.
Uzlaşma Komisyonu şimdiye kadar, 130 kadar maddeden oluşması beklenen anayasanın büyük bölümünü görüştü, sadece 35 civarı maddede uzlaşı sağlayabildi. Bugün akşama kadar dört parti bütün önerilerini Meclis başkanlığına sunacak. Pazartesi 8 nisan dostlar alışverişte görsün diye yapılacak bir son toplantı sonrasında hükümetin başkanlık sistemi önerisi gündeme oturacak.
AK Parti göbeğini kendisi kesmek istiyor. Teklifini, barış rüzgârıyla referanduma götürüp Başbakan’ı mutlak bir başkan yapma hedefi açık. 330 için gereken 3 oyun peşinde. Bulması da, referandumu kazanması da ihtimal dâhilindedir. Ama bu kumara ne gerek var? Neden o barış rüzgârını arkasına alarak BDP ile oturup demokratik bir anayasa veya güçlü denge denetleme mekanizmaları olan bir başkanlık sistemi çalışması yapmaz? “Büyüklerimiz bilir” ve “çoğunluğun istediği bu, yetinin, şükredin” diyenlere rağmen bu soruyu sormaya devam edeceğiz.
Bu ayki Tempo dergisinde Erdal Güven’in “Usul usul başkanlığa” araştırması herkesin anlayacağı dilden başkanlık dayatmasını anlatıyor. AK Partinin 22 sayfalık propaganda kitapçığı “Türkiye Başkanlık Sistemini Konuşuyor” ile birlikte okunmalı.
Çamlıca için ÇED?
Temmuz 2008’de Çevresel Etki Değerlendirmesi (ÇED) Yönetmeliği’nin geçici 3. maddesi uyarınca 7.2.1993 tarihinden önce onaylanmış projeler ÇED uygulamasından muaf tutuldu. 2010’da bu düzenlemeye karşı açılan davada yürütme durduruldu. Hep olduğu gibi, 2012’de yine aynı madde Çevre ve Orman Bakanlığı tarafından yine aynı hedefle değiştirildi.
Bunun üzerine bir grup Bursalı vatandaş planlanan Gebze-Orhangazi-İzmir Otoyolunun yaratacağı çevresel sonuçlarını öğrenmek için projenin ÇED’inde ısrarcı oldu ve Danıştay’da dava açtı. Dava 28 Mart’ta sonuçlandı. Danıştay 14. Dairenin verdiği nihaî karara göre bütün eski projelerin ÇED alınması zorunlu hale geliyor.
14. Daire’nin kararı ÇED’den muaf tutulmaya çalışılan üçüncü Boğaz Köprüsü, Gebze-İzmir Otoyolu, Ilısu Barajı, nükleer santraller için ÇED sürecinin gerekli olduğuna dolaylı olarak karar veriyor. Çamlıca Camii bu kapsama neden girmez? Dünyada emsalleri var. Üstelik inşaatı için Çamlıca’dan kaldırılacak 50.000 kamyon toprak Maltepe’de deniz dolgu alanına dökülecek!
İsraf ekonomisi
Hatalı, fuzulî projeler cenneti memlekette değişen bir şey yok. Danışsız, düzensiz, denetsiz işler sadece çevreye, kente ve kültüre zarar vermekle kalmıyor, kaynakları da çarçur ediyor.EVA Danışmanlık’ın araştırmasına göre Anadolu’da 1 milyon metrekare fuzulî AVM alanı varmış!
Geçen gün Taraf’ta vardı. Mimar Korhan Gümüş anlatıyor: “Bu sabah olimpiyat stadyumuna gittim. Orada koskoca bina boş bir enkaz gibi duruyor. Harcanan para 200 milyon doların üstünde. Sovyetler Birliği’nde böyle inşaatlar vardı, kullanılmayan.” Mâlum bu aralar Olimpiyat heyecanı yine depreşti, inşaat fırsatları ağızları sulandırıyor. Ama bilinsin ki bütün eski olimpiyat kentlerinde ve bizim olimpiyat stadyumunda olduğu gibi bu inşaat bir atımlık olacak.
Bugün Formula 1 pisti otomobil kiralama şirketinin deposu olarak kullanılıyor. Maliyeti 300 milyon dolar. Sütlüce’deki Avrupa’nın en büyük kültür merkezi iddiasıyla inşa edilen Stalinist lenduha düğün törenleri için kullanılıyor. Maliyeti 250 milyon dolar.
Maliyeti 200 milyon dolar tahmin edilen İstanbul Kongre Merkezi umumiyetle boş. Çalışmayan bir diğer mekân Feshane’nin maliyeti 50 milyon dolar… Acaba Taksim’deki uyduruk kışla ve gereksiz dal-çık tünelleri kaça malolacak? Gümüş’ün tahmini: “Kışlanın inşaatı 200 milyon dolar. İşletmesi yıllık 60 milyon. Tüneller, hepsi yapılırsa 300 milyon dolar.”
Bu israf furyasından hiçbir ders çıkarmadan devasa bir olimpiyat işine giriliyor. Kibir böyle bir şey işte!
Van-Erivan uçak seferi
Açık bir bilgilendirme olmasa da bu ay başlaması beklenen seferlerin Sivil Havacılıktan izin alamadığı ve bunun arkasında “kardeş” Azerbaycan olduğu söyleniyor. İhtimal yüksek. Nitekim Azeri basınındaki homurdanma iyice duyulur olmuştu. Dışpolitikada Batı’ya kafa tutan, İsrail’e dik duran, bölgeye nizamat veren Türkiye’nin karizmasını çizen tek ülke Azerbaycan… Kardeşlik namına!

The Blog: Mezzmer Eyewear Review
Since my reviews of Glasses.com, DB Vision and Warby Parker exploded in popularity, I wrote two additional reviews for high index sunglass options - Cocoons and Eyefly. In response to requests, I have decided to continue my look at some of the latest trendsetting companies now selling eyeglasses online that fit a certain model set out in my earlier reviews. These new web stores offer a limited range of mostly non-designer frames in trendy styles, free home trials, a risk-free returns policy, free shipping both ways, preferably a charity program, and a price point around $100 ($125) for high indexes. In this respect, I'm not out to find the cheapest possible glasses, but the best value for money and most safe/reliable companies to buy from.Mezzmer kindly opted to take part in my review series, making it my sixth eyewear review since last year. At some point, I may move some or all of my reviews and how-tos to another blog for ease of browsing. There is an anthropological connection to my new work on online consumerism that will be made clear in the future. But for now, it's all about the glasses. About MezzmerMezzmer, Inc. is a web-based eyewear retailer founded in March of 2011 by brothers Michael and Roger Lee. They don't currently have a brick-and-mortar store, but I believe that they are based out of NYC. Their brand philosophy is simple:We’re people just like you. People who wear glasses. People who are always astounded at the exorbitant price tag that comes along with glasses. We created Mezzmer to redefine how eyewear is delivered and give you an alternative to overpaying for your glasses. Without compromising on the style or quality. Brilliant. My experience with Mezzmer was just as refreshingly uncomplicated. Mezzmer.comThe Mezzmer website has a simple yet bold design that is very clear and easy to navigate. I like that the images of the frames are big and clear before you click on them. A mouseover makes it easy to get more details, add them directly to your home trial order, or purchase. You can sort the frames by width (narrow selections shown in the screenshot above), color or face shape. Each frame page gives a nice succinct description of the frame style, views from a couple of angles, the measurements, a photo of a model wearing the glasses, and a guide to the fit. The simplicity of the layout makes it easy to find what you're looking for. The only improvement I would recommend – as always – is that they add a vertical measurement to the frame size guide. But their in-home trial program takes the guesswork out of sizes, anyway. Frame selectionI counted around 40 optical frames ($99 including lenses; $129 for high index) and they also carry a range of polarized sunglasses ($99 incl. non-RX lenses; $149 for prescription), making them a very affordable choice for both types; see below for discount codes. This review is for a pair of optical frames.Browsing through the selection of frames on the website, I found that I liked a majority of them. The collection as a whole is definitely my style. Although they are all acetate frames, the selection caters for all tastes, from narrow to over-sized frames, round to rectangle, and classic colors like tortoiseshell to bold red or fades. The connecting aesthetic of the collection is that they are all riffs on classic shapes and color tones with nothing excessively flashy or complicated. Since I already have a pair of slightly narrow rectangular frames and glasses with wide and embellished arms, I was hoping to find something that had a more classic design and an overall slim build with not too chunky a profile. This can be a problem in my Rx, because the lenses tend to be heavy and can cause a lightweight frame to slip or tilt if it isn't very well constructed and balanced. Because I have a petite face, I normally can't shop beyond the Narrow category or possibly Medium depending on the frame dimensions. The good news is that Mezzmer's selection of narrow frames is quite diverse compared to other retailers. Just because you have a narrow face doesn't mean you want basic small frames!Home Trial You can order 5 pairs of Mezzmer frames to try at home before you decide. As professed in my previous glasses reviews, I am a huge fan of home trials and believe that the opportunity to try glasses at home has truly revolutionized the eyewear industry, enabling online companies to compete with brick-and-mortar retailers and, above all, for customers to get the best shopping experience. The difficult part was choosing just 5 frames that I liked best. On the website, I fell in love with Presley, which comes in three great shades enhanced by a back layer of contrasting color acetate (tortoise/pink, brown/amber and black/crystal). I am a big fan of small details like that. Next, I added Big Sky in ash gray, a big bold frame with a keyhole bridge like the one I like so much on my sunglasses from my last review. Then I chose two slightly smaller frames keeping in mind my ideal measurements. Astaire had the right dimensions and also the thinner profile I was looking for. I chose the warm honey color instead of black on impulse. Shelby was my fourth pick. The gray color I chose has a lime green backing and a pearlized finish on the stems that looked a bit tortoise-y in the photos. These highlight the overall impression I got of Mezzmer's attention to details with frame selection: the bold and unique aspects are carefully balanced in placement keeping true to more classic styles. The last pair I added for home trial was Brass, a timeless, thin, black rectangular frame. Always a solid choice. My home trial kit arrived within a couple of days of placing the order. The frames were well-presented and in good condition for trying on, each packed in a plastic baggie and housed in a tray case. I started with Presley, my favorites from the website. They looked just as great in person, but were sadly just too big for my face. Big Sky were also too tall/chunky and a bit uncomfortable because they sat too high. Brass were fine, if a little wide, and would have been perfect a few months ago when I was looking for plain black rectangular frames to replace my old computer glasses that were simple black wireframes, but I was hoping to find something that made more of a statement and was unique to Mezzmer. I also have to be careful with wide frames because of the high index lenses I need (see the Frame PD tutorial I wrote in the second half of this post to learn why). On the other hand, Shelby, the gray with pearl arms and lime green contrasts, definitely stood out to me. They were perfect for my face with the right proportions and rounded edges that I've come to prefer over sharp rectangles. The flare at the temple wasn't too conspicuous, the brow hit just right and they did not overpower my face. From the front, the gray is the predominant color, but the green adds a bit of interest. It was a close call between these and the final pair I tried, Astaire. When I first put them on, I wasn't too sure about the size and shape. I soon fell in love with them. I would usually go for a straighter brow, but I was sold on the beautiful honey-brown tone that matches my hair in the light and the timeless simplicity. Having done a few home trials now, I can't emphasize how important it is to try all the options on a few times spaced out over the week you have them. The good thing about home trials is that while you might find that your favorite frames from the website just aren't right (like I did), that doesn't mean you won't find something that suits you even better, so be open to the process. If, like me, you can't see yourself in the mirror when you're wearing trial frames with non-Rx demo lenses, another tip that I haven't mentioned so far is to take short videos using your webcam of you trying on different styles. Previously I suggested taking photos, which works, too, but videos can give a more realistic look at how the frames will look in normal conditions. UnboxingI placed my order a few days after receiving my home trial kit. The website checkout is very intuitive and there were no problems. Here's how they arrived:The glasses were very well packed and presented on arrival, complete with a friendly note card and a pink ribbon. They also came with a branded black cleaning cloth. The white case is lightweight and has a padded top, which is a nice touch. Frame QualityI was impressed with the quality of the frames from Mezzmer and extremely pleased that I decided on Astaire. They arrived clean and ready to wear with no adjustments needed. To put this in context, so far my glasses from DB Vision, Glasses.com and Warby Parker all needed adjustments upon arrival or shortly after. Finding a local optician to do this is quite the task where I live. DB Vision is in Texas, so no help there. Warby Parker's office in Manhattan is way too crowded at the times that I can possibly go there. Glasses.com took several returns to get my order right and I even had to return my first Eyefly sunglasses for a replacement. Since buying online is always a calculated risk and Mezzmer is entirely web-based, it I couldn't be happier that they arrived so perfect. Lens QualityThere is a $30 bump in costs for 1.67 high index lenses from Mezzmer, which is the only suitable option for my prescription. As mentioned above, because these can be heavy (and my right lens is slightly thicker than the left), it is often risky choosing a slim or light frame to contain fairly big lenses. But there are absolutely no problems with my Mezzmer glasses. They are ideally balanced. The clarity of vision is also accurate, clear and undistorted. The lens sits well in the frame with no defects in manufacturing around the edges of the kind I have noted from other retailers before. I don't get any eye strain whatsoever. They are also easy to clean. In short, I am really impressed with Mezzmer and have no doubt that you will be, too.Customer ServiceCustomer service at Mezzmer is friendly and efficient. Co-founder/owner Roger personally replied to my email to accept my invitation to participate in my review series and graciously provided me with the glasses and all the personalized assistance I would need. I also received prompt automatic notifications throughout the various stages of my home trial order, delivery and return as well as a tracking number for my order. Everything went smoothly. But don't worry: if you're not fully satisfied with your own order, there is a 30-day return or exchange policy. Mezzmer also takes social responsibility seriously by donating 3% of each sale to charity through their buy and give program. Unlike some of the other charity programs from eyewear companies that I have described here, Mezzmer lets the customer choose the non-profit organization that will receive the funds: Big Brothers, Big Sisters; Helen Keller International; Breast Cancer Research Foundation; Animal Welfare Institute; or Action Against Hunger. They are all worthy causes and every donation counts. ConclusionI highly recommend Mezzmer Eyewear for your next pair of glasses. Pros: Great selection of smart frames in classic styles; quality lenses; good charity program; fast service; attention to detailCons: No brick-and-mortar storefront (not a problem for me); no virtual try-on (kind of obviated by the home trial program, but some people like it); returns not completely free*Discount codes!*The only thing better than a great product and exceptional service is a discount on top. Right now you can get a coupon code for Buy One Get One 50% off on all glasses by liking Mezzmer Eyewear on Facebook. See the slider ad on the left side of the Mezzmer homepage. Alternatively, take 25% off your order with the code SPRING25, also currently available on the website.What's nextThanks to the overwhelming and positive response to my eyeglasses reviews, I have learned a lot about the various companies offering glasses online today. Each review has been a great experience which I have been happy to share. So far I have covered: DB Vision, Glasses.com, Warby Parker, Cocoons, Eyefly and Mezzmer. Other companies which fit the model described at the top of this post include: Fetch Eyewear, Lookmatic, BonLook, BenjiFrank, Collins Bridge, Tortoise & Blonde and ClassicSpecs. Warby Parker and Eyefly are also of this type, but DB Vision is no longer in the same price range. (FYI - Australia has its own locals, Sneaking Duck and Oscar Wylee, but I don't recommend Oscar Wylee because they promote their company through comment spam and that's not working with social media, it's working against it. So send all your Aussie business to Sneaking Duck!) Finally, there is a whole other side to the online eyewear marketplace that has had a presence on the web for some time, including the likes of Coastal, Zenni Optical, 39dollarglasses, EyeBuyDirect and Firmoo. Since shipping and returns are not free and high index lenses cost too much to take the risk, I have not drawn my attention to them as yet. But all of these retailers could benefit from an extensive review. Stay tuned to see if any of them make it here and also drop a line in the comments if there's a particular review you'd like to see me write.You can also get glasses news, discounts and updates via my Glasses Collection.

Language Log: Philly dialects on All Things Considered
A feature on Philadelphia dialects that appeared a week ago on the local public radio show Newsworks Tonight ("How the Philly accent is changing", 3/28/2013), was recast yesterday on the national show All Things Considered, starring Penn grad student Joe Fruehwald: "Dialects Changing, But Not Disappearing In Philadelphia".
Zack Seward did a terrific job on the local story, and the quality of his treatment also emerged in the ATC piece. For a more complete and more technical discussion, see William Labov , Ingrid Rosenfelder, and Josef Fruehwald, "One Hundred Years of Sound Change in Philadelphia: Linear Incrementation, Reversal, and Reanalysis", Language 89.1 pp 30-65 2013.

Visual Anthropology of Japan: Spring I: さくら
Spring has arrived in Osaka and with it the beautiful sakura (cherry blossoms). The sakura came early this year but they still had the power to attract countless cameras to record their beauty. Behind my house there are 130 cherry trees that run along a small stream so I don't have to go far to see sakura. Many people walk along the stream to view the flowers and enjoy the warm spring air. Upstream, a local resident's association writes and displays senryu poetry. Everyone seems to love spring...

tabsir.net: Whose body is it anyway?
Last Thursday was dubbed “Topless Jihad Day,” a call by the feminist group FEMEN for women to protest in support of a Tunisian woman who posted photographs of herself topless (with remarks on her body that many would consider tasteless) on her Facebook site and soon received condemnation and calls for punishment. The result was hardly an outpouring of indigenous support like the “Arab Spring” that flooded the main squares of Tunis, Cairo and Sanaa. The FEMEN website has posted images of women baring their breasts in Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Montreal, Paris, Milan, Kiev, Brussels, Berlin and a few other major cities. Two things stand out about this day of protest. First, it takes place only in cosmopolitan Western cities, not in Muslim-majority countries. Second, several of the scenes focus on the protesting women being arrested for breaking the law. The patriarchy that is being protested is not, therefore, only an issue about Islam.
There is a basic principle of physics that every action results in a reaction. The moral code that would cause a Tunisian cleric to condemn a young Tunisian woman for exposing her breast on Facebook causes a protest from an international feminist organization. And, not surprisingly, there is a counter to this from a “Muslimah Pride” network. As the young woman in the image above indicates, she does not feel liberated by exposing her body. But perhaps even more poignant is her comment that she does not need saving. It is not clear if this Muslim woman is condemning the Tunisian woman at the center of the current protest, but she is definitely making a statement about her own body. Whose body is it anyway?
FEMEN has attracted followers for a variety of reasons. I suspect that some testosterone-loaded males in the West cheer wildly whenever a woman shows her bare breasts. These hardly support the stated goal of FEMEN: “sextremism serving to protect women’s rights, democracy watchdogs attacking patriarchy, in all its forms: the dictatorship, the church, the sex industry.” Historically there is no question that women have not had equal rights with men in economic, political or legal contexts; this is true for almost all cultures, ranging from those with despicable patriarchal rules to democracies with permanent glass ceilings. Secularism has challenged many (but not all) of these inequalities, giving women the right to own property, vote, and theoretically have equal opportunities in education and the workplace. Appeals to women’s rights resonate with most people, whether secular or religious, but the devil is in the details.
There is also an elephant in the room, in everyone’s room: who decides what women’s rights are? (more…)
