it is really helpful and well presented. thanks a lot. another important aspect, that I think should be mentioned, is the principle of differences between signs. that is, Saussure states "a sign makes meaning through its difference from other signs".
Phloneme I know what you mean, perhaps I should retitle the piece and use it as a prelude to something more specific. Someone else asked for examples which is how I did it in class so maybe that's the way forward. Still, thanks for the feedback.
I hope it was useful and sorry you find my pace too fast, I actually speak slighltly slower than most English speaking natives but understand that this is not accessible to all. It might be useful to adjust the playback settings or turn on the closed captions.
Hi Abdul, I'm not sure what you are having difficulties with. I don't use a slide show, it's a continuous canvas with a high level of zoom. If you are having difficulties with image size or resolution then you should look at the settings on your device. If the video is looking low resolution then it may be a bandwidth issue from your ISP. However, I cannot do much about these sorts of things. When I make the screencasts I film in hi def and upload raw files in the best quality available (and to be fair this is fine for nearly all my viewers). Here's hoping you find a solution to your problem.
you speak so fast and in a quiet voice I cannot follow and understand. This video is supposed to explain, but it made things even harder.There are non native speakers of English watching such videos to learn( you have to take this into consideration)
+Lina linouch I'm sorry if my speech is hard for you to follow and I sympathise with your frustration. However, I produce these materials primarily for my students who all speak English as their first language or with native fluency. My first responsibility is therefore to them and their expectations of clarity and speed of enunciation. I share these materials publicly out of good will and in the hope that others find them useful. If my work isn't useful to you I can only wish good luck in finding an alternative source that is. Alternatively, you might try listening with ear phones and stopping and replaying the sequences that are difficult to follow. For the record, my speech in this particular presentation is slightly slow in comparison to average rates for standard spoken English which is widely acknowledged to be about 110-150 words per minute. Using four 30 second samples drawn from different parts of the piece I average 118 words per minute in a range of 108 to 130 words per minute.
Sorry you are having difficulties Emiro, however, as I have pointed out to others who struggle with my diction and speed of enunciation I actually speak a little slower than current average estimates for British English and do not speak with a pronounced regional accent. I produce these clips primarily for my students and the vast majority of them speak English with native fluency. Slowing things down or distorting my articulation would impede their reception of the work. If it is any consolation my students sometimes tell me they struggle to follow my explanations, not because of the speed of presentation but because the concepts are challenging. On these occasions they assure me that using the stop and rewind functions built into the UA-cam player is helpful - perhaps this would be useful to you. Otherwise I can only restate that I share the materials via UA-cam in the hope that others find them useful, if this is not the case then I recommend finding an alternative source for the information whose pace and diction are more suited to your ear.
I recommend turning the subtitles/close captions on for those that have difficulty understanding. My native language is English, but I find that subtitles help a lot when viewing a video in a different language.
What is the purpose of studying this linguistic discourse in a person daily life What is achieved after studying it Or is it to study to prove all the old theorist wrong

Well, this is a lovely walkthrough of linguistics in general, but I can't really see the discourse analysis aspect here.

@@itutortube Perhaps.. but you decided not to.
I thought this was really well delivered and engaging. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot. You've made it simple and understandable.
You're welcome Khairil, best of luck with your studies
nice and useful espicially the first part in which i liked the way you narrowed it arriving to discourse analysis , thanx a lot
Mayssoun Mimi you're welcome and thank you for the feedback
I could listen to you talk all day
Thank you very much, your explanation was most helpful!
Glad to hear that!
Thank you SO MUCH! this is really helpful.
You're very welcome, glad to hear this material is useful. Best of luck.
Its perfect but it would be a lot better if you spoke slowly man, not all of us are native speakers!! so please next time pay attention to this area.

the peirce joke really got me
Rachel Taylor Roth Glad to know it kept your attention
excellent and insightful
Thank you, glad you found it useful

Thank you
you're welcome
will you follow this up, it feels incomplete.
I had in mind a couple of example analyses, it's just a matter of finding the time to put them together

a little boring-too much fumbling-the info is there but got bored

Please!!! Try to speak slower and more articulated so that we can understand better!

That's really useful advice, thanks, beatriz sanchez
Subs do not work really good, LOL! I can understand, but some words are really not understandable.
Emiro Cardozo yes, you're right. They're not 100% accurate, but at least the kind of help.
Dear i-tutor, thank you very much for the enlightening video on Linguistics and DA. I was awesome!!
Glad it was helpful!
What is the purpose of studying this linguistic discourse in a person daily life
What is achieved after studying it
Or is it to study to prove all the old theorist wrong
thank you so much for the video. It helped a lot for me!
+coralinegyu yo you're welcome, best of luck with your studies
the study of discourse is the study of language, can any one explain this ?
Great presentation although I would retitle it linguistics and semiotics!
Fair enough!
i think your voice is hawt (:
Pleas i need a summry
You are going so fast so that i cant understand your explanation
Sorry you find my pace too fast, I actually speak slighltly slower than most English speaking natives but understand that this is not accessible to all. It might be useful to adjust the playback settings or turn on the closed captions.
thanks so much for this video..i like your way of simplifying things..but i wished if there were more to watch..thanks anyway for your great help
Thanks a million :D
+Lobna Khaled you're welcome
