Word lists
I have created lists of:
Adjectives - abstract, liminal, timeless
Verbs - think, change, manifest
Nouns - time, dream, information
Side note: For the majority of my life I have had to recite from Massive Attack’s Teardrop - “Love, love is a verb, love is a doing word” to remember which ones verbs are but, since doing this project, I think I’ve finally dialled the information in.
I’ve carefully chosen the words in my lists to be the “right” kind of word for the effects I’m going for. I’ve been browsing through wikipedia articles and academic papers for ideas, as well as copying down words that come up here and there and strike me as suitable.
In the sentence structures above, you’ll also notice some other things like “gerp” and “verbp”. These are different grammatical versions of the verbs and nouns in my word lists (adjectives are always the same). There’s also “intro-0” which is a phrase, I’ll get to that later. Let’s look at how nouns and verbs are altered for different contexts.
