C-246.8 Differentiation and prepositions
In B-speak, prepositions serve to differentiate, although primarily to afford distinctions in body-body relationships (e.g., “by,” “on,” “under,” “above,” “near”) and to confer possession (“of”). The latter when an adjectival usage might be preferred for economy or beauty.
Verb particles (e.g., “find out,” “sort out”) also employ prepositions to advantage.
Noun particles (C-40)* show both need and profit for asking prepositions to work with nouns as well as verbs. Many nouns in B-speak are “nouns of convenience,” coined to allow B-ness technology’s objectification of the observed, which permit a “Read and Tell” dialogue between what is said about, WISA, and what is being talked about, WITA: “word and thing”). This even if and when WITA is behavioral (e.g., “freedom,” “theory”) And as matters of what is called for, WICF, and what there is to be talked about (e.g. a next step), WTITBTA, go unattended or poorly Grasped.
***
* In BFEPS we have capitalized noun particles, but not verb particles, to make technologically and developmentally apparent the former’s useful differentiation contribution.
In light of the very useful Search feature now available, parenthetical back references are suspended for Comments as of C-184.
