We Are All Molistic in a Way
Wow! Ho scoperto che esistono anche le Olimpiadi di Linguistica Computazionale! Fantastico!

E per farvi piacere vi mostro il primo problema, quello "facile"
Imagine that you have heard these sentences:
1. Jane is molistic and slatty.
2. Jennifer is cluvious and brastic.
3. Molly and Kyle are slatty but danty.
4. The teacher is danty and cloovy.
5. Mary is blitty but cloovy.
6. Jeremiah is not only sloshful but also weasy.
7. Even though frumsy, Jim is sloshful.
8. Strungy and struffy, Diane was a pleasure to watch.
9. Even though weasy, John is strungy.
10. Carla is blitty but struffy.
11. The salespeople were cluvious and not slatty.
1.1. Then which of the following would you be likely to hear next?
a. Meredith is blitty and brastic.
b. The singer was not only molistic but also cluvious.
c. May found a dog that was danty but sloshful.
1.2. What quality or qualities would you be looking for in a person?
a. blitty
b. weasy
c. sloshful
d. frumsy
1.3. Explain all your answers. (Hint: The sounds of the words are not relevant to their meanings)
Nota mia: Battute a parte, la Linguistica Computazionale è una cosa seria, si occupa per esempio di metalinguistic reasoning, machine translation, information extraction, automatic summarization, usando anche strumenti informatici come finite state machine e graph search.
Cordialmente, Alex

Santo cielo!
La chiave sono le parole contrastive? But, even though...
Gli insegnanti hanno sempre connotazioni positive?

P.S.: Cosa sono "gli insegnanti"? L'hai trovato interessante?
