Whose Science And Whose Religion? Reflections On The Relations Between Scientific And Religious Worldviews, Stuart Glennan
Whose Science And Whose Religion? Reflections On The Relations Between Scientific And Religious Worldviews, Stuart Glennan
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Arguments about the relationship between science and religion often proceed by identifying a set of essential characteristics of scientific and religious worldviews and arguing on the basis of these characteristics for claims about a relationship of conflict or compatibility between them. Such a strategy is doomed to failure because science, to some extent, and religion, to a much larger extent, are cultural phenomena that are too diverse in their expressions to be characterized in terms of a unified worldview. In this paper I follow a different strategy. Having offered a loose characterization of the nature of science, I pose five …

I have a file of 234,936 words from the Second Edition of the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary. After reading Making the Alphabet Dance, I thought of looking for the last capitalized word for each letter of the alphabet, as well as the sequence of each successively-longer word in the file. I arranged the last two lists by all capitalized words and by all lower case words.

An Epiphany Of Eponyms, Jeff Grant
An Epiphany Of Eponyms, Jeff Grant
Word Ways
An eponym is a word derived from the name of an actual person or a fictional or mythical character. There are lots of them in everyday use, for example boycott, sandwich, spoonerism, and erotic, which can be traced back to Captain Charles Boycott, the Earl of Sandwich, Rev. W. A. Spooner and Eros, the Greek love-god. Here are 26 interesting eponyms, one for each letter of the alphabet. Some may surprise you!

The European Calendar was introduced in 2006. Everyone refers to it as EF but whether this is a phonetic reflection of their opinion, or whether it just seemed appropriate that the EF combination should follow on from BC and AD, no one seems quite sure. In either event, 2006 became EF1.

A "Kickshaw" is defined either in a neutral manner as "a bauble, trifle, or knicknack" or more flatteringly as "a fancy tidbit; a delicacy". The purpose of this feature is to satisfy both definitions by presenting linguistic items of light weight and vast diversity, designed to appeal to the tastes of all recreational "linguisticians".

Word Ways
In Act 1, Scene 1 of "The Second Part of King Henry the Sixth", the Duke of Gloucester says:
Have you yourselves, Somerset, Buckingham
Brave York, Salisbury, and victorious Warwick,
Receiv'd deep scars in France and Normandy?
Or hath mine uncle Beaufort and myself
With all the learned Council of the realm
Studied so long, sat in the Council House,
Early and late, debating to and fro
How France and Frenchmen might be kept in awe?

I can only 'second' the much deserved praise and appreciation expressed elsewhere in this special issue to Ross and Faith for their unique, brilliant and indefatigable contribution to recreational linguistics. As well, probably unknown to most readers, they have personally subsidised the mag for years and refused to raise the price adequately to cover costs. (I hope I don't embarrass them by revealing this. I think it's wonderful. But I do willingly pave the way for any price rise the new management might choose to introduce. Nor would I expect any readers to balk if they did.)

COLLOQUY and KICKSHAWS each have two repeated letters. Even WORD WAYS has one repeated letter. This makes them ideal candidates for which to find isomorphs, words with the same letter pattern and no crashing letters. Here, I attempt to find an A-Z of isomorphs for each of them.

Students of wordplay have long recognized a cornucopia of variant word-set arrangements. Pyramids, half-squares and diamonds have been themes in Word Ways from early issues on. Windmills, hollow diamonds, and hollow-cross forms are among other forms examined in this magazine's pages. My own past forays have tracked such shapes as hollow squares, compass roses, and word lattices.
