Languages--Chinese:
I watched episode 51 of Travel in Chinese. This episode was about the Great Wall of China and the legends about it.
Articles:
I read a paper about computational phonology on the UCI website. I learned that word blocks can be regular and sub-regular. If I understand it correctly, a regular sound pattern is one that can be broken down into a set number of chunks and all the words in that block must obey the rule. Subregular patterns are even more limited than regular ones. It's hard to imagine any language being sorted into one of these categories since most languages aren't terribly systematic and would be a mix of sound patterns. Some are fairly systematic, but those are the only kinds of languages I can see this working on.
Philosophy:
I read about Dewey's philosophy on individualism, which is also a criticism of liberalism. He disapproved of the idea in liberalism that individuals are something given, not made. He believed that social institutions are there to create individuals, not do something for them. In other words, social institutions shape who a person is.
Internships:
I checked the Qualcomm website to see if they have any new jobs or internships posted. There are a few engineering jobs that were posted in the last couple of days in August. And most of the internships are for summer 2013.
