• Chain-link, (E-less) Lipogram, or E-full sentences?

    From Hen Hanna@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 5 14:34:35 2017
    Could someone "translate" the following
    and give me some examples of
    Chain-link, (E-less) Lipogram, or E-full sentences?

    I'd like to see samples in German, French, Spanish. ...
    Thank you.

    Why, you undertake entertaining game: enchain 'n needle 'em mots?

    Chain-link knots successively yield ....

    (2-letter overlap)
    -- Can an anagram amuse senile lexicographers?
    -- Wine never erases essential aloneness.

    (1-letter overlap seems just as (un)interesting to a casual reader.)

    Lipogram ( Liposuction ? ) and [ the pendulum effect ]


    How hard is it? -- writing a paragraph [and avoiding] that most
    common ... um ... "thing" in our, ... (mumbling) ... Writing-blocks
    or Composition-atoms or Scribbling-units or (how about this?) "font-pool".

    "Font-pool" -- gosh, that's awkward, but you know what I'm talking
    about: th' 26 things (from A to Z) that add up to our writing
    output. It's known as [Lipogram],
    and th' word is difficult and odd -- Think [Liposuction]! Lipogram
    is writing with our [fat]? How is that? Odd. Mighty odd. Most odd.

    Return-to the entire Alphabet set! Phew! Great relief!
    The letter E -- The wonderful letter E. The commonest alphabetic
    letter. Every sentence includes one, generally.
    Every longer term includes one. Shorter term?
    ... Well, let's see ...
    Aren't-I overdoing the other direction? The proverbial pendulum effect?


    Bothers me when someone tells me, regarding Chain-linked
    sentences: "Three-letter-overlap's exceedingly complex-complicated and
    One-letter-overlap's overly easy."

    Makes me yell: --- Excuse me, mister? "Overly easy?"
    Prove't mister. Give me one entire passage, tale, joke, riddle,
    storytelling, etc. -- while observing the rule: one-letter-overlap
    between successive terms!

    More Later! HH

    I'm not sure I understand: do you require translation of the terms "chain-link" etc. ?

    If so, the only one I can help you with in French is "lipogramme (en E)", and for an example you may refer to the novel "La Disparition" by Georges Pérec, which is entirely e-free.

    You might find what you're seeking by searching the Internet for references to the OuLiPo (Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle), a French-based but international group dedicated to research into this kind of literary device. From memory, their site
    contains a list of various such techniques.

    i'm most interested in translations, for example:

    (1-letter overlap)

    -- Wein nimmer radiert trauernd die Einsamkeit.

    -- Vin ne efface entierement trop pas solitude.

    Can someone improve the above ?
