Language Log Main November 20, 2007 According to Umberto Eco I was surprised to hear Umberto Eco, interviewed on BBC Radio 4 this morning, using the phrase according to me several times. He seemed to think it is synonymous with "in my view", or "the way I tell it". It is not. According to X has the peculiar property of only being properly used by people other than X . We can say, "According to her, the Jews control world banking", and we mean that this global banking stranglehold stuff is her story about the Jews, and we are by no means committed to it. The constraint is (somewhat) analogous to a similarly odd fact about lurk : you only describe other people's actions using it. If I wait around outside your office trying not to be seen (not that I would, but I could), someone might say "Geoff Pullum has been lurking outside your office", which is normal use of the language describing slightly nefarious behavior on my part. But if I say "I'm planning to come and lurk outside your office", that would be deeply weird in a linguistic way, unless it was a joke. I have only ever heard according to me from foreigners who have learned English imperfectly. One tends to think of Umberto Eco as a sort of polymathic cultural and linguistic European academic superstar who would spot this sort of subtlety. But no, there he was, talking about what he says in his new book, and saying "according to me". Stop it, Umberto. Get a clue. This is not an idiom to use about yourself. Use it when imputing views to others, especially (though not exclusively) when you are skeptical about those views. Never use it to say that something is your own view.

This success has tended to overshadow his thinking on questions of communication and other social issues as developed in such books as The Role of the Reader and A Theory of Semiotics. In this UNESCO Courier interview he discusses the wider significance of his work. * You are a semiologist. You study systems of signs. What relevance does semiology have for ordinary people? Can any practical conclusions be drawn from work such as yours?

Full Blog Sunday Matinee: Umberto Eco Sunday Matinee: Umberto Eco Paula Stiles Jun 18, 2006 Welcome to Medieval History's Sunday Afternoon with a Good Book. Today, we'll look at Foucault's Pendulum and The Name of the Rose. (spoilers ahead) Before Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code came Umberto Eco's satire on pseudomedieval conspiracies, Foucault's Pendulum (1990). Before Foucault's Pendulum, Eco wrote a medieval murder mystery, The Name of the Rose (1983). Both books had a sizable effect on how people (including Dan Brown) wrote books on those subjects thereafter. The basic plot of Foucault's Pendulum is simple; everything else is complicated to a literally insane degree. Three bored editors at an Italian publisher of occult books cook up a secret society based on their employer's book list. The editors have a good time throwing everything including the kitchen sink into their grand conspiracy theory. Of course, they include the Knights Templar as major players because "the definition of a madman", as one of them puts it, is believing that everything eventually connects to the Templars.

Holy Technology? Subscribe to NTLF Curiosities Excerpted from an English translation of Umberto Ecco's back-page column, "La bustina di Minerva," in the Italian news weekly "Espresso,'' September 30, 1994. Insufficient consideration has been given to the new underground religious war that is modifying the modern world. It's an old idea of mine, but I find that whenever I tell people about it they immediately agree with me. The fact is that the world is divided between users of the Macintosh computer and users of MS-DOS compatible computers. I am firmly of the opinion that the Macintosh is Catholic and that DOS is Protestant. Indeed, the Macintosh is counter-reformist and has been influenced by the 'ratio studiorum' of the Jesuits. It is cheerful, friendly, conciliatory; it tells the faithful how they must proceed step by step to reachif not the Kingdom of Heaventhe moment in which their document is printed. It is catechistic: the essence of revelation is dealt with via simple formulae and sumptuous icons. Everyone has a right to salvation. DOS is Protestant, or even Calvinistic. It allows free interpretation of scripture, demands difficult personal decisions, imposes a subtle hermeneutics upon the user, and takes for granted the idea that not all can reach salvation. To make the system work you need to interpret the program yourself: a long way from the baroque community of revelers, the user is closed within the loneliness of his own inner torment.
