Dear Martin, please keep making these videos as they are really helpful in terms of understanding linguistics as a science. I understand that maybe not a lot of people see them, but trust me, those that do end up on your videos are really grateful. You are a remarkable teacher, thank you!
I am a first-year graduate student and I take a course 'cognitive grammar' this year. I feel so fortunate to have found this video!!!! So well illustrated. I feel so prepared for the class ;)
Hello, Martin! Thank you very much for this fascinating lesson. It was really helpful for our understanding of cognitive linguistics. Thanks to you, my groupmate and i managed to deeply immerse into this theme.
The adjective "strong" has got a lot of meanings - we have strong drugs, a strong smell, strong language... The idea of physical strength seems to have been generalized so that it now encompasses a wider range of meanings. I'm not sure if "strong evidence" brings to mind an image of a muscular person, or whether the meaning of the adjective is broad enough to suggest the correct interpretation straight away.
Thank you so much for the videos about Cognitive Linguistics because your presentation helps me to get to know these issues in a nutshell with an easier way to digest different concepts through your oral presentation! Greetings from Macau!
I'm writing my bachelor thesis based on cognitive linguistics and figurative language and I appreciate a lot this video. You're doing great job and I'm sure that it will be helpful for me 🐱
this is good way to understand cognitive linguistics easily. Perhaps, if you have online lecture I would join your channel, Sir. Anyway, I am interested in cognitive linguistics for metaphor analysis. It is very good. Thanks!
great thanks from the heart .. this is a very excellent lecture .. very helpful and inspiring as I am writing a research on the use of metaphor in the language of adverts.. thanks again .
Thank you so much for this video! I have an exam about linguistic tomorrow and metaphors were so difficults to understand. It was so helpful and really clear.
Please, can you tell me...are there any other representatives of cognitive theory of metaphor, or is it "just" Lakoff and Johnson? Thank you for your answer.
When we first hear metaphors they are fresh and new ways of describing something but after hearing a metaphor over and over it becomes embedded in the language. When a metaphor has become established then I would say that it should be dealt with semantically.
But with the ice cream test, the cold pack may not have made them feel unsympathetic therefore choosing the ice cream for themselves. It may have been that they were just holding something cold, (perhaps it was a hot day outside, or hot in the test area), and they wanted to continue to stay cool, or the pack reminded them of ice cream so that lead to the ice cream choice. Luckily CMT is tested with fMRI to indicate more strongly than social experiments that are difficult to control.
Dear Professor Hilpert, A great presentation of CMT - Thank you! I have been drawn to it for a few years now, but at the same time some of the experiments that provide support for the conceptual account are not very convincing. For example, regarding the Williams and Bargh (2008) experiment, have the authors considered the possibility that people were more inclined to give positive feedback when holding a warm coffee/pad because they felt more comfortable holding something warm as opposed to something cold? In contrast, holding something cold (especially if it is very cold) for prolonged time might feel quite uncomfortable. This would suggest that the results might have been confounded by the way participants felt, which translated in their responses not because of heath itself, but because of the way heath made them feel. When we feel good, we are more likely to be good to others, when we feel bad, we may treat others negatively.
I wonder if the same experiments would give the same results in Central Africa for example, where sympathy might rather be associated with something cool, for example whisky and Coca with icecubes ? I think that rather than "warmth", we should think in terms of "comfort", and comfort does not mean the same everywhere around Earth.
On warmth makes you feel sympathy, part 2 - where a subject holds the experimenters coffee and later gives the experimenter a favorable rating. I think there is another bit of psychology at work here. Thomas Jefferson used this trick often - make people do you a favor, and you're tricking them into thinking well of you, because basically people try to justify their investment after the fact, and so their mind tells them "well yeah, he aint such a bad fellow, otherwise I wouldn't have done him that small favor, right?"... but this is anecdotal, I know... just struck me as a legitimate alternative to warmth translating into sympathy, at least in that particular case. I've seen this trick used often, though ofc I can't prove anything concrete... :/

Your explanation is clear and well-organized. Thank you from South Korea.
This is very well done. I’ll return to this again. I took a conceptual metaphor class with Lakoff actually and I think he’d appreciate this lecture.

this series saved both me and my term paper. thank you!
I'm happy to hear that, Vic!
My research paper's due date is 4 hours away and I was getting desperate. Thank you so much!

These videos are incredible. (currently doing Linguisitc Data Sciences at UEF)

Good luck with your thesis!
@@MartinHilpert Thank you 😊
Professor Hilpert, thankyou for creating such a great videos. greeting from Indonesia.

Thanks for watching!
thanks for such simple and clear introductory video.
Cognitive Linguistics is so fascinating!!!! And your teaching style FUN-tastic!! Thanks a lot for those clear explanations....
Thank you, Edna!
This changes my perspectives on metaphors
great thanks from the heart .. this is a very excellent lecture .. very helpful and inspiring as I am writing a research on the use of metaphor in the language of adverts..
thanks again .
Thank you so much for this video! I have an exam about linguistic tomorrow and metaphors were so difficults to understand. It was so helpful and really clear.
Good luck with your exam!
@@MartinHilpert thanks a lot professor !
I have a question about these pictures of domain of war and domain of argument. Can I find them in books or these pictures are yours? :)
I really enjoyed these videos. Many thanks.
Hello sir
What is the difference between semantic domain ,semantic field and hypernyms
Thank you very much indeed for this course. I appreciate your effort.
The War-Disease Domain is very relevant now, unfortunately. Thanks for an accessible introduction, I'm gonna get the book.
What about time? Would that be a source or target domain? Or both?
Please, can you tell me...are there any other representatives of cognitive theory of metaphor, or is it "just" Lakoff and Johnson?
Thank you for your answer.
Thanks a lot for informative videos

@@MartinHilpert Thank you!
I'm writing my paper, your video is really helpful. thx for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
I understand now why I want to listen to Coldplay in the summertime.

Thank you Professor Hilpert
I teach translation in Costa Rica and this video will certainly be an input, thank you
Eric Bonilla Thanks for watching, Eric!

Was the 'shady excuse' mentioned on purpose? 😊 Thank you for these lectures, they are really useful and interesting!
Thank you so much for the explanations, but the questions quickly pop up.
Thank you so much Sir.
so great thank you so much
Sir, you can now add COVID19 to the diseases example :(
great job
can the conceptual metaphor be integrated into teaching idiomatic phrasal verbs ? and how if the answer is yes ?

4:35 Awww talking about SARS while I am studying trying to forget the current situation with the pandemic. Cute. Amazing course! Thank you so much. :3
Pyschologists are a cruel bunch...
