Talk:Hybridity

Cleanup is needed: sections are nonstandard, formatting such as bolding the first instance of the article title, etc. All in all, it looks ugly compared to other articles, I think. --Geopgeop 10:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I added the content - as far as formatting is concerned I am a novice. I followed as much standardization as I could. Perhaps you could make it more attractive? --Peej 05:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Editing needed
This reads too much like a textbook and complicates the definition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.161.196 (talk) 06:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Ghil'ad Zuckermann, quoted giving an example of linguistic hybridity, is somewhat controversial and the example of "Israeli" is either far fetched or miss represented here. In any case, "Israeli"(in Hebrew) was used to describe ancient Hebrews in exactly the same form it's used to describe moderns ones. No hybridity here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.22.134.220 (talk) 14:22, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Added some more depth to the post-colonial turn in relation to hybridity. Possibly linking the references to mimicry and ambivalence to the corresponding sections on Bhabha's main page. Dvo19 (talk) 23:05, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Some of the ancient examples cited in this article are misleading. For example, Pericles objected to Athenians marrying non-Athenians; Plato did not want people from different socio-economic classes marrying; and Aristotle's most famous student, Alexander the Great encouraged the intermarriage of Greeks and Persians, after his defeat of Darius. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.188.68.214 (talk) 13:30, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
