Confusing or unclear

[edit]

What about or which sections of this article are confusing or unclear? Hyacinth 08:10, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did not tag the article, but for one unfamiliar with the topic, it takes a bit of parsing and jargon-learning to get a good grasp on the phrase:
". . . privilege difference, and "as diegesis, songs speak to or address us by organizing a particular stretch of time into a conscious experience, and an experience of consciousness"

A good rule of thumb is never to write articles simply by piling quotes on one another. It satisfies no one but those who are already familiar with the topic.

As a linguist I read this article with incomprehension. Anyone who can understand the jargon in the definition doesn't need the word defined!

In simple terms syntagmatic structure in a language is the combination of words according to the rules of syntax for that language. For example English uses determiner+adjective+noun, eg "the big house". Another language might use determiner+noun+adjective and therefore have a different syntagmatic structure. The term is often contrasted with paradigmatic structure. 213.122.53.166 (talk) 15:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
