I always liken a sentence to a fruit machines wheels (this is also true of letters in a word). You have articles, like a/ the/ this etc, verbs, adjectives, nouns etc. Language is at basic composed of three things - written symbols, spoken sounds and the real world these are applied to. Also emotion comes into this (philosophy / psychology) through attitude to life - positive emotion is direct (I like this hat), whereas negative emotion is more indirect (timid / afraid of response) and can be a straightforward question; Do you like this hat? I'm not sure I like this hat, as a less direct statement, testing out someone else's response. I have a blog you can check out but some of it is more about teaching methodology although sample pages from my own attempt to lay bare English, can be found there as well but my Pinterest page has samples from all eight books (mindyourlanguage.quora.com).
Dear me, what a lot of belony. I signifie this with CRAP and i don't mean CRÊPE . The Kaiser's new clothes. That's the outcome when society parasites calling themselves intellectuals, instead of engaging in productive and USEFUL work leading to actual USEFUL and tangible products benefitting others, thrive on tax money extorted from people who actually do spend their lives producing useful things.
Shouldn't it be: Language is a highly "dynamic" system? There is of course a difference of static<->dynamicity between content and functional words or phonotactic constrains and productivity. Grammar in a sense of "Langue", but Mental Lexicon/s is/are probably more in a sence of "Parole".
I don’t see how anyone could argue that you can’t have a thought or mental image or idea without a signifier or word. That part seems preposterous. It’s true that you can’t very well _communicate_ an idea without a word (or combination of words) or sign (or combination of signs) for it. But it is obvious that we have many ideas, thoughts, and mental images without any such sign. It is even obvious to me that the majority of our thoughts are of this kind. So there are many more ideas and thoughts than there are signifiers. In order to have a shared sign at all, it has to be assigned to a thought that people can share. Obviously, two people can behold the same cat or touch or otherwise sense the same cat. So the sign - sound “cat” makes perfect sense to everyone. Other concepts can not be referred to that way, because they cannot be seen or sensed directly. For example, a cat has some force that imparts animation to it, which is why we call it an “animal”. Whatever that force is, we can not see it. But certainly, we can see breathing. So we take the Latin name for “breath” and we use it to name that force that imparts animation to a thing. The “spiritus”, the “breath”. We use the language of the shared observation to describe the phenomenon that is not a shared observation. Much of the cleverness of language lies in that ability. In other experiences, no such word is adequate, and for that reason, we have many other art forms. Literature is one, which uses words, but music and visual art do the same thing without words. As do actions. In fact, if words were able to communicate those internal experiences, we would not have those art forms.
Seems like a complete waste of time, and the waste of thousands upon thousands of scholars that came after him, to study language by the merits of language. It would be like studying a rock for its rockness. How would Ferdinand de Sassure explain poetry or a hip-hop rhyme? Is not Wittgensteins attitude towards language that language is what language does? Here, I will make an example of the power of creativity: I hate when youtube videos disable their comments. I cant find good reason that outweighs the benefits of having an open conversation going. Yet, I cannot say that to an uploader when the comment section is disabled. So, I point it out in this comment section instead in order to try to capture peoples imaginations and to make them adopt the same attitude as me. My personal solution is to make a rule where I dislike every youtube video that has their comment section disabled. This will have no effect unless I persuade others to make the same personal rule for themselves. By sketching out these relations I may be able to affect the system (the communal-attentional-thought collective of sorts in a youtube videos viewership) by affecting another such system and its users. This is analogous to how the language is affected by its users and not the other way around -- if you dont have language, the users will still try to have a say in the conditions of existence if the community that they are participating in.
LOved. I learn a lot from videos like these, i like the voice explaining and behind the photos and text and the movment. Thank very much for posting it
And another couplet from my own cranium: If, sans language, regulating thought would impossible, Saussure asserted so knowing music is free but in the suasible.
This is a great video-thank you
Thank you! This is SO helpful. The book I'm stuck reading is a DRAG and this brought the ideas to life!
next time add bengali synonym also

Very helpful! Thanks
I understood it better in English in 5 minutes than from my teacher in my native language in over an hour. Thank you
Why do thinkers and ideas men make things so complicated thank god for youtube
Thanks so much!!!
Thank a lot for this explanation 🙏🏼
Best video..thanks..why don't you come with another video?😊
she dropped this banger and disappeared
you saved my life and i am not joking THIS IS GREAT???
Thank you!!!!!! Have been listening to and reading loads of nonsense!!! Thank you again.
0:52 always cracks me up i can't
Kindly have a look into this article about Saussure thetruantpenofkeya.blogspot.com/2022/08/blog-post_27.html.
thanks
Thank you for your summary. So, he claimed “language is a STATIC system of interconnected units.” Interesting.
Beautiful
HELL YEAH THANK YOUU🤩🤩
Sooo clear and well-made. Make more, please!!??

I love you
this is a great video, thank you for your time. fyi, though, the sound quality is bad. i had it on max and could barely hear.
should have mentioned Charles Sanders Peirce
thank you so much 💕 everything was so clear
I've stumbled in a lot of anime videos before I actually got here even though this particular video is the reason why I browsed my UA-cam. 😭
Came for communication class quiz
Great explanation, thank you!

Langue = language, langage = human speech, parole = speaking
I have a Linguistics exam in a week and here I am learning about completely new things..... wow!

This subject is more fun to study when there are cats implied.
I have tomorrow an exam about this in French, I finally understood. Thanks

And another couplet from my own cranium: If, sans language, regulating thought would impossible, Saussure asserted so knowing music is free but in the suasible.
Yet another couplet: "Too serious", went Saussure's complaint But language for him never orbits a task quaint.
A handy couplet from my own cranium: Civilization need not preserve the use of verbs Unless its apparati be left so on the curbs.
I heard "not the difference" and after replaying the segment over a few times I finally heard "note the difference". 🙃
Un complément au CLG vient d'^tre publié. www.pollen-difpop.com/A-92382-ferdinand-de-saussure-le-premier-cours-de-linguistique-generale.aspx
Amazing explanation! Thank you.
Im catching up one half semester worth of material for my anthropology exam in 3 days. I didn't attend more than 3 lectures.
Hello Bella, I love your video! Is there a possibility to contact you via email?
While studying for the exam of English Methods and Aproaches... Greetings to Saussure
how can i apply this theory in poem?
"fo shizzle yo"? okay racism
Wow❤❤❤❤ thank you so much for this enormous effort
