Poly Vocality

Greetings Sports Fans, 

Here we have a snippet on how the english language is rooted in various linguist interpretations and polyvocal tradition. Truly, I am but a dictionary root interpreting nerd, squeezing and zesting oranges and lemons otherwise known as words. This could be a way to ask how perception of language impacts lived experiences. 

My immediate reaction to a word like surrender conjures sacrifice and an emotional obligation; however, the roots of the word complete flip my initial perspective.

Surrender : here are some of my favs from the Oxford Languages Definitions on Google:

• (of an insured person) cancel (a life insurance policy) and receive back a proportion of the premiums paid


• cease resistance


• (in a sports contest) lose (a point, game, or advantage)


• abandon oneself entirely to (a powerful emotion or influence)

Render : here are some of my favs from the Oxford Languages Definitions on Google:

• deliver (a verdict or judgment)


• cause to be or become; make.** 


• represent or depict artistically.


• perform (a piece)


• translate.


• process (the carcass of an animal) in order to extract proteins, fats, and other usable parts.


• a first coat of plaster applied to a brick or stone surface.
