Café

This is how acclaimed linguist Ray Jackendoff makes his morning coffee:

'nuf said.



First image from Jackendoff's article "Parallels and Nonparallels between Language and Music" in Music Perception. Vol 26, Issue 3, PP 195-204. 2009. 
Really, this is a representation of how a robot would make coffee, used to illustrate a more relevant connection between the structures of robotics (and I assume job-coding in general) and language than between the structures of music and language.

Second image resulting from my own text passed through online word-cloud creator Tagul. What a difference a visual representation makes, eh?
