TRAX - David Foster Wallace - Una Storia Radicalmente Condensata Della Vita Post
http://www.trax.it/david_fosterwallace.htm

Extractions: Una storia radicalmente condensata della vita postindustriale A very short story by David Foster Wallace. Quando li avevano presentati, lui aveva fatto una battuta, cercando di apparire brillante. Lei aveva risposto con una risata rumorosa, cercando di apparire simpatica. Se ne andarono soli, ciascuno sulla propria auto, dritti dritti verso casa, con la stessa smorfia sul viso. La persona che li aveva presentati non era particolarmente affezionata a nessuno dei due, ma si comportava come se lo fosse, cercando di preservare tutte le relazioni importanti, dopo tutto non si sa mai, no? "Ploughshares", vol. 24, n. 1, primavera 1998, p. 191

AUGUSTINE Did you know that probing the seamy underbelly of U.S. lexicography reveals ideological strife and controversy and intrigue and nastiness and fervor on a nearly hanging-chad scale? For instance, did you know that some modern dictionaries are notoriously liberal and others notoriously conservative, and that certain conservative dictionaries were actually conceived and designed as corrective responses to the "corruption" and "permissiveness" of certain liberal dictionaries? That the oligarchic device of having a special "Distinguished Usage Panel ... of outstanding professional speakers and writers" is an attempted compromise between the forces of egalitarianism and traditionalism in English, but that most linguistic liberals dismiss the Usage Panel as mere sham-populism? Did you know that U.S. lexicography even had a seamy underbelly?
