So passiert jeden Tag was, aber ich bin zu faul und zu müde, um alles aufzuschreiben.

(Bitte berücksichtige, Kitty, dass die beiden Damen hier ein fürchterliches Niederländisch sprechen. … Wenn du diese Haspelei hören könntest, würdest du laut lachen. Ich werde aber, wenn ich über Mutter oder Frau van Daan schreibe, nicht ihre Originalsprache wiedergeben, sondern ordentliches Niederländisch.)

noo Anne no Anne give us the dialect Anne ;-;
I keep hoping that this time (my reading) it will go different, that the hideout will hold, or that she will realise it won't and find a way to escape... that she'll grow up to write many books...
…zum Beispiel den Mahlraum, wo Zimt, Nelken und Pfeffersurrogat vermahlen werden…

I wonder what exactly was the Pfeffersurrogat.
If you have linguist friends who says things like "writing is not under the purview of linguistics" or "linguists don't care about performance, but about the capacity of language", 1) why are you friends with Chomskian linguists and 2) this book is the most pointedly interesting counterproof. An analysis of the grammar of punctuation using the methods of linguistics somehow brings up plenty of hidden structure of the kind linguists are used to discover in natural language. How come?
Punctuation is obviously not a part of the human language-acquisition capacity—babies won't acquire punctuation no matter how many semicolons you show them—but contrary to naïve social opinions about "style guides" and schoolroom torture, the real grammar of texts isn't acquired via conscious study, it's acquired by exposure via reading; its most interesting and complex rules are emergent and used without explicit knowledge, just like natural language. This is because writing was …

This is because writing was developed by building on analogies of how languages work, until it evolved language-like structures of its own. In other words, text-grammar is, like conlangs, an "application of the principles of language"; and, consequently, it can be acquired like an SLA, and can be analysed with the linguist's toolset. Writing stands to the capacity of language as dancing stands to the capacity of moving.
Mom and Dad didn't care about grades, only that she was healthy and having fun. Dad advised her that this life wouldn't last and to enjoy it to the fullest. I am so grateful to them for that.
This hits me hard cos it's the same way I talk to my kids... I mean we aren't there, not yet, but between climate change and fascism...
Helmuth the smooth, dang
oh dang she was an even cooler girl than I thought---that wasn't cursive practice in the pasted note, it was steno!! She was teaching herself stenography!!
so-called »Gesamtausgabe« doesnt even include the poem for "Queck queck queck sagte Fräulein Schnatterbeck"
I know this is obvious to say and I have no smart thing to add, but reading it in her own words. Most of her own life memoirs of 13 is Judengesetz this, Judengesetz that. That she had to worry about that rather than girls and books and whatnot.
Jacqueline van Maarsen gilt als meine beste Freudin. Aber eine wirkliche Freundin habe ich noch nie gehabt. Bei Jopie dachte ich erst, sie könte es werden, aber es ist schiefgegangen. (15.06.42)
— Gesamtausgabe by Anne Frank (Page 16)
Then again on 20.06.42: "...es sei denn, ich würde irgendwann in meinem Leben »den« Freund oder »die« Freundin finden..."
yes 06.01.44 is one of the gayest things I have ever read but it is interesting to see she already had the longing even a year before.
guide to boys by Anne Frank: Maurice Coster: unpleasant Sally Springer: pig Emiel Bonewit: boring Rob Cohen: filthy bastard Max van de Velde: farmboy, but seemingly acceptable Herman Koopman: pig Leo Bloom: pig Albert de Mesquita: Montessouri boy, smart Leo Slager: also a Montessouri student, but not smart
