Pronunciation: /lɪŋˈɡwɪstɪk(ə)li/

adv

Etymology: From linguistical + -ly or from linguistic + -ally.

  1. In the manner of linguistics.
  2. From a linguistic perspective.

    English is scandalously lacking in politically and linguistically correct antonyms of this sort. The Queen can create the Duchess of Cambridge, so surely I can create the much-needed expressions "cisgress" (be a good boy), "cisvestite" (bloke wearing trousers), "cisaction" (no deal), and "cisom" (something that isn't a lintel). Anyone who doesn't disagree is a transsy.
