I got a bit picky about the Points of Interest I choose these days; so less is more. A problem which occured while writing this and which is bothering me: What's the difference between:
a) It is not
b) It isn't
c) It's not
I think the first is the most emphasised because there is no contraction at all. The second emphasises the subject - due to the contraction of "is not" the stress shifts to "It". The third emphasises the negation because the stress lies on "not". Language Hat had a post about this in 2005.
1. [...] findings suggest that New Caledonian crows can solve complex physical problems by reasoning both causally and analogically about causal relations: Do New Caledonian crows solve physical problems through causal reasoning?
Alex Taylor explains the experiment:
2. Pro Transhumanism. It's not a matter of philosophy - It's a matter of time: Transhumanism as Universal
3. About the temperature of excluding metaphors: Social exclusion literally feels cold
4. Pulvermuller's vs. Wernicke-Lichtheim's functional anatomy of language: Pulvermuller = Wernicke-Lichtheim
a) It is not
