Ode to the needed application
Of distinctive word formation
And appropriate derivation
(With Speech Pathology implications
For morphological miscalculation).
Because without the permutations
Of root words in combination
And grammatical allocation,
There’d be much missed in
Communication.
For Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt: Morphology in 37 words
Note: As a Speech-Language Pathologist, this writing prompt would have been absolutely impossible to not take on! 🙂
Brilliant!!

Excellent! I didn’t know you were a speech-language pathologist.

It says so in the header under my name on the blog but I take it as a compliment that it is not necessarily the only thing people see about me, or that it is not necessarily always relevant. We’re multi-faceted beings, aren’t we? 🙂 And … yes, I’ve been an SLP for 30 years now. I’m also an audiologist by training and licensing in Israel, where it is a dual profession (Communication Disorders Clinician, which includes speech, language, voice, fluency, AND hearing) and where I’d practiced clinically for some years. 🙂 Isn’t life fabulously complicated? 🙂

Ooops! Sorry. One of my dear friends is also a speech pathologist/audiologist. Yes, we are all multi-faceted! 🙂

No worries! I’m tickled by how we often know people only in the capacity we met them in — it happens to me all the time, and then I’m constantly surprised! 🙂 I’m glad you have a good friend who is in the same field as I! 🙂 It’s a great profession, if I may say so myself …

Shalom,

Yay! So glad you love it! 🙂 As soon as I saw the prompt I was like “Yeah, I know where my associations go… ” 😉
Yay hurray from a fellow Word-Nerd. Shall we establish the WWNS (World Word Nerd Society)? 😉

Wow, that’s brilliant! Only thing is, having read your footnote I’m nervous about inviting you to read my ramblings in case you discover something about me I don’t know about myself!
Here are my 37!

No worries. I only diagnose upon request and in official capacity … 😉 Otherwise, I’m as generous with my typoese and grammartese as anyone else is … 😉
