(mental grammar) You know what items (sounds, words, sentences, questions, etc.) are part of the language. You can tell whether or not a The child’s job: figure out the rules that generate the items given item is grammatical in the language. that belong in the language and that don’t generate items that don’t belong in the language. The reason you can do this is because you know the rules & patterns that generate the items that are part of the language. For example, the child wants rules to generate “Hoggle is (mental grammar) definitely an ornery dwarf” but not “Hoggle an dwarf definitely ornery is”. Want to learn rules that generate this set of items… Not in English Not in English Hoggle a In English Hoggle a In English dwarf ornery is Fairies bite dwarf ornery is Fairies bite Hoggle is an ornery Hoggle is an ornery adventurers adventurers dwarf dwarf Bite Can the girl who Bite Can the girl who adventurers can summon the adventurers can summon the fairies Goblin King solve fairies Goblin King solve the Labyrinth? the Labyrinth?

From “Please Mr. Gravedigger,” the theatrical closing number on his 1967 self-titled debut album, to virtually every track on his final record nearly 50 years later, the protean musician mused perpetually on all matters of mortality: the loss of loved ones (“Jump They Say,” about his brother’s suicide), the apocalyptic end of the world (“Five Years”), his own impending passing.

I stared quizzically at the cover and noticed it was titled, Labyrinth. For a moment I was confused as to why my mother would bother buying me some strange, fantasy movie from the eighties, but suddenly, it clicked. I had grown up watching this film; in fact I had been so obsessed with it that every time we went to our local movie rental store I would beg my mom to rent it for a couple of nights.

  • ITALIAN BOWIE Tutto Di David Bowie in Italia E Visto Dall'italia INTRODUZIONE
    Davide Riccio ITALIAN BOWIE Tutto di David Bowie in Italia e visto dall'Italia INTRODUZIONE Bowie ascoltava la musica italiana? Ogni nazione avrebbe voluto avere i propri Elvis, i propri Beatles, i propri Rolling Stones, il proprio Bob Dylan o il proprio "dio del rock" David Bowie, giusto per fare qualche nome: fare cioè propri i più grandi tra i grandi della storia del rock. O incoronarne in patria un degno corrispettivo. I paesi che non siano britannici o statunitensi perciò di loro lingua franca mondiale sono tuttavia fuori dal gioco: il rock è innanzi tutto un fatto di lingua inglese. Non basta evidentemente cantare in inglese senza essere inglesi, irlandesi o statunitensi et similia per uguagliare in popolarità internazionale gli originari o gli oriundi ed entrare di diritto nella storia internazionale del rock. A volte poi, pur appartenendo alla stessa lingua inglese, il cercarne o crearne un corrispettivo è operazione comunque inutile ai fini del fare o non fare la storia del rock, oltre che un fatto assai discutibile, così come avvenne a esempio negli States in piena Beatlemania con i Monkees, giusto per citare un gruppo nel quale cantava un certo David o Davy Jones, lo stesso che - per evitare omonimia e confusione - portò David Robert Jones, ispirandosi al soldato Jim Bowie e al suo particolare coltello, il cosiddetto Bowie knife, ad attribuirsi un nome d'arte: David Bowie. I Monkees nacquero nel 1965 su idea del produttore discografico Don Kirshner per essere la risposta rivale (anzitutto commerciale) americana ai Beatles, quindi i Beatles americani o gli anti-Beatles.

  • Disclaimer: Don't Own the Labyrinth...Very Sad. "Ugh!" Sarah
    Disclaimer: Don't own the Labyrinth...very sad. "Ugh!" Sarah exclaimed, falling into her chair. "My feet are killing me. Why is it that men have the easy job?" "I'm sorry, my dear," Jareth said, kneeling before her and rubbing her swollen feet. "That's the way of it, I'm afraid." "Only two more weeks to go and I can return to normal," she said, wearily. Jareth rose and put his hand on his wife's very pregnant stomach. "That's my Queen, always looking on the bright side," he teased. She frowned at him and rolled her eyes. "I'll look on the bright side when you're eight and a half months pregnant," she retorted. Jareth laughed at this and took her face in his hands. He brought his face in close for a sweet kiss. Sarah smiled and returned it eagerly. After he went behind her to rub her shoulders, she said, "I feel like I'm as big as a house." "You're not big, my love," Jareth lied. Sarah snorted. "Ha! I'm as big as Ludo." "You look lovely," he replied, honestly. He really did think she was beautiful. She had a glow about her from the pregnancy. Sarah was about to argue again when she heard it. She groaned loudly. It was a summons and it was her turn. "Stay here, precious," he said. "I can go answer it." "No," Sarah said, stubbornly. It was her turn and she was all about fairness. She would go get the runner started and then go lie down for a couple of hours.

  • Goblin King in Labyrinth
    Goblin King in Labyrinth: An audio-visual close reading of the songs by David Bowie 14.12.2016 David Bowie Labyrinth audio-visuality film musical narrativity siren voice Sanna Qvick sanqvi[at]utu.fi Doctoral Student Musicology University of Turku This article comments on the dual role of David Bowie in the film Labyrinth (1986) as actor and singer, in addition to Bowie’s star persona, puppets as a means of alienation, and the narrative world of Labyrinth in the realm of fantasy and fairy tale. However, the main focus of the article is on the role the songs play in the film’s narrative. In musicals, songs usually interrupt the narration, or narrative progression of the film, while expanding on emotional content or depiction. In Labyrinth, the sections of dance and song are not regarded as separate by the characters within the narration, although they might appear separate to the viewer. The film Labyrinth takes a different approach to the musical tradition, because it intertwines narration and songs. Labyrinth breaks away from the dual-focus mold of American film musicals (Altman 1987), as only the man in the main character pair sings. It utilises the traits of musical, but is it a musical? I aim to determine this by reviewing the genre of the film and analysing the roles and the meanings of the songs using audio-visual analysis and close reading (see Bal 2002; Richardson 2012). The idea for the film Labyrinth (1986) came to director Jim Henson in the aftermath of his feature film Dark Crystal (1982).

  • My Idol, My Ziggy, My Thin White Duke, My Bowie, Has Died
    My idol, my Ziggy, my Thin White Duke, my Bowie, has died. Though I think, somehow, all that he was will rise from the ashes of his body like some great ethereal, well-dressed phoenix and continue making art someway, somehow. I have loved David Bowie since I was about 13 years old. I can trace it back to the moment that I learned that Jareth the Goblin King was the man who sang "Golden Years". Since then, bits of Bowie have invaded my life. My love and awe for Bowie, whose work I am still to this day discovering and falling in love with, has encouraged me to take ownership of my oddity, to revel in my weirdness, to proudly identify as an artist, to push myself to experiment and to turn and face the strange changes. Because there is power in his work, and vulnerability, and humility, and courage, and joy. When I found out that he died, I sat down in my room, looked up, and saw his face on the cover of my Scary Monsters vinyl, peaking over at me. The closer I looked, the more Bowie I saw-- not just albums but books, movies, t-shirts, pins, a framed post card my brother sent me from London, a mixed tape my best friend made me in junior high...as I said, "bits of Bowie". My journal, too. Years ago I stopped beginning my journal with the traditional "Dear Diary" and opted instead for "Major Tom", to whom I have confided confidently throughout my eternal adolescence.

  • Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars”—David Bowie (1972) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Susan E
    “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars”—David Bowie (1972) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Susan E. Booth “Ziggy” album cover Original label David Bowie “Ziggy Stardust played this instrument in the eponymous track of the famed 1972 concept album ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.’” “What is a ‘Guitar’?” “That is correct! You may choose the next category.” “Prophetic Rock ‘n’ Roll Aliens for $400, Alex.” The influence of the aforementioned album is so-far reaching that undoubtedly, like our fictional “Jeopardy!” contestant, you could finish the phrase “Ziggy played… guitar.” Released on June 16, 1972, David Bowie’s “The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars” is a concept album which tells the story of the fictional rock star Ziggy Stardust. Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up: Due to a depletion of natural resources, humanity has reached its final five years of existence (“Five Years”) and its only hope exists in the form of an alien messiah (“Moonage Daydream”). Ziggy Stardust, the consummate rock star (a drug-using, omnisexual human manifestation of an alien being), acts as the messenger, with his band, the Spiders from Mars, on behalf of extraterrestrial beings called “starmen.” The message, beneath a hedonistic facade, ultimately communicates the time-honored rock ‘n’ roll theme of peace and love: a starman will come save Earth (“Starman”). He communicates this message to the youth of the world, who, having lost the desire to rock ‘n’ roll, become enthralled.
