Sometimes people misunderstand what linguistics really is. Most of them always think that when you're studying linguistics, it's like you will be able to speak many many languages. However, it's completely false. Me I am a freshman in linguistics but before I started studying it, I've never put in my mind that I was going to learn many languages. I bought some time for knowing well the discipline. Congratulations my brother because you've just added up something in my theory. Your explanation is clear. Keep up the good way.
"Enjoy the fascination of language study and linguistics". Thank you so much for the interesting video and for sharing your fascination with us, who are also fascinated by linguistics!
I love the way he outright says the misconceptions about language and how it isn't just how many languages you know and are fluent in and that language is really more of an art form and the critiques of language vary so vastly. The aspects are so vast and cannot be narrowed down to such finite detail. I hated that when I would tell those around me that I had the desire to be a translator and the biggest thing I would hear would be those stating that it would be so difficult to become one because of how many languages there are out there and I just could not break through to some people that sound structure and meaning and the way the language is portrayed are very important as well and it isn't always just a sound. Having an open mind to work with and an artistic outlook is so important here
Linguistics is indeed a captivating enrichment of my life. May I note that your introduction on this topic was both immaculate and overwhelming! Indubitably, you put much effort on providing a terrific overview on this fascinating field of work. Thank you for sharing this video!
Dear Colleage, thank you very much for your motivating comment. Since we won't stop producing videos on linguistics, language studies and web technology, we always appreciate support and help. And of course anyone can contribute to our channel to make it even larger. Thanks a lot.
Vielen Dank fuer das Video! Alle Informationen waren sehr interessant fuer mich. Ich moechte Linguistics in der Uni studieren, aber ich weiss nicht genau welche Uni ist die beste in dieser Spezialisierung. Ist Ihre Universitaet die beste? Oder gibt es bessere Unis? Ich hoffe dass Sie meine Fragen beantworten werden!
Such an informative and interesting video. It's going to be helpful for everyone, for non-linguists to understand the correct meaning of Linguistics, and for many of us in defining our subject properly for others 🙂
Loving this so much, thank you, it is so helpful. These are short bites to help me get a grasp, whilst studying for my MA in Linguistics. I will try and watch all your clips, thank you so much. No silly explanations. No pictures of cats or dogs.. no distracting music, people acting silly and pulling strange faces. No boring long, winded, unintelligible, not comprehensible, strange dialects. Just good informative, understandable, easy to follow breakdowns of critical points.
Good After noon Professor, thanks for your well explanation. I'm a retired professor of Arabic language in Morocco. I'm now a student in Morocco in Departement of English Studies in the first year. Welcome to Morocco if possible...
You worked hard but you got our hearts. You are just amazing. By the way I study linguistics, but I dont attend I only like your explanations! thank you so much for your efforts.
Thanks a million for the video! I'm just an average person. I'm not a teacher or anything extraordinary like that but I have learned through difficult times that sometimes I am very misunderstood. I'm trying to learn how to more appropriately communicate and use my words wisely. I feel certain this video will have a profound impact on me.
You're amazing sir!!! You helped me with Phonetics and Phonology 1& 2, Linguistics 1&2, Phonology and Diction plus Grammar!!! You deserve the world, thank you really🥰

I misunderstood certainly what Linguistics means. I wanted to do MA in Linguistics after completing my MA in english. I thought I'd be able to switch as my course is offering Aspects of Language. I am still confused if I can in switch to Linguistics future...bcz that particular subject 'Aspect of Language' is of 1/4th credits of my final year and covering topics like what is Language, History of Eng Language, English Phonetics and Phonology- I & II, English Morphology, English Syntax, Language in use- I & II, The spread of Language, and Stylistics

I study computing science in college and I am about to take an elective course in Linguistics so discovering computational linguistics now has me really considering taking that path in college
@@avaritia5493 I decided to continue with my computing science program. However, I did take two 200-level and one 100-level Linguistics courses, earning A’s and a B+. While I enjoyed the experience, I realized that path wasn’t for me, so I chose to stick with computing science
You 7 and odd minutes of introduction will take years to understand. But that is just an indication of the insight yo managed to pack into 7 minutes. Thank you!
Regarding "Psycho-linguistics": Great to find this channel! I have an interest in, and some education in, linguistics. I also have a B.A. in psychology from 1971 (and later a Masters in computer science). Speaking of what linguistics is *not*, I learned that the one thing that psychology is *not* is the study of the mind, but rather the study of behavior, which can be observed and measured. By the way, I thought your exposition was very accurate, but might still be a bit baffling to a neophyte. A few quick examples might have helped.
Thank you very much for your work to create this video and introduce us to Linguistics! I indeed had a little bit of a wrong idea. :) It is very interesting and I do share your fascination of the field! I do have one question and I would very much appreciate an answer... I'm in high school and I have a very important project that I have to write trough out the last two ears of school. I want my subject to be "How many languages can a human learn?" And the idea in my head is to explain what happens in a humans brain when learning new languages, what is "the psychology" of it and try to give a relative answer to the question. However, I find it very hard to find literature on the matter... Can you recommend me any books, articles, movies or videos that might help me? Thank you very much! If I have to give up this exact subject, I sure will do something with linguistics! And if I hopefully don't have to, I sure will engage myself more with linguistics - it is fascinating to me! :)
though i think that a linguist gains a lot from speaking many languages as it makes comparison much easier if you have a "feel" for it and not just the knowledge. In my case learning about linguistics helped me a lot to learn more languages. Before i learned linguistics i spoke 2 languages fluent, now its 4 and i have much less problems learning more languages than i had before

does linguistics study non-linguistic aspects? for example pragmatics has to do something with body language? non linguistic signs are related with linguistics?
Excellent video Professor. Video Scribe is a great tool and your video is very educational. I just wanted to ask you what you think about the monoglot here in Britain. This video clears a lot up of what I mean. VoR Debate: Is Britain a nation of monoglots?
I'm not surprised to hear that most linguists don't speak lots of languages, but I'm surprised to hear that most of them speak only one, because learning any second language is a natural gateway to learning the differences between languages in all the areas that you describe.
Linguistics should be taught the moment we start teaching kids about algebra Second and third language should come first from early age You might teach an adult math but it's just not the same cause it's also a language Words should be studied like we study numbers Art and music are as important as words and numbers It's remarkable on how we care less about language and care more about communicating with machines
My name is Rosmina Zuchri from Indonesia. Thanks Prof. DR.JURGEN HANDKE I am English student in Master program. This semester join or follow subjecs 1. Psycholingustics. 2. Advanced Linguistics. Thanks your youtube channel very support my study. this semester
Congrats. I stumbled upon you via a UA-cam search and you look interesting. I was looking for someone with your knowledge set because I came up with a question I didn't know who would have the answer to, so I'm taking a flyer on you. I'm a writer, so I'm always writing so-and-so's something, and I suddenly got curious how the apostrophy/s combo came (mostly) to indicate that something belonged to someone. I'm sure it's very very old and something so minor who would keep a record of it? But it piqued my interest nonetheless. Do you have any idea of its history?
Thanks for the great explanation. I neet to do a scientific study about mistakes in pronunciation some people do when they attempt to speak a certain foreign language. My question is: is this study considered part of linguistics?
thanx and with all love and appreciation for you about anything provided us of lectures......... please, can you give us or simple explain about bio linguistics.........
dear sir, my age is 42-I am commerce graduate as well as, I have diploma in linguistics. Plus A2 German certificate. My question is may I get admission in Master of linguistics in German universities. Sir, as well as if yes, please send me some universities detail in this regard. Thanks a lot
I find easy to learn the languages of the Indo-Iranian sub-family and Indo-Aryan languages than languages of other families because I am using the concepts of linguistics unconsciously.

I agree... Linguistics makes it easier to learn more languages, and the knowledge of several languages helps you learn more about linguistics.

You are brilliant in teaching thanks
very useful explanation professor. please post lectures about John Lyons book "language and linguistics" . thanks for your efforts 🌹

You are amazing!!! I wanna watch this video over and over again!!!!
What are the tools that were established by linguistics and are used in literary studies?
thank you very simple and straight to the point
these videos are incredibly useful! Thx a lot
Excellent video Professor. Video Scribe is a great tool and your video is very educational. I just wanted to ask you what you think about the monoglot here in Britain. This video clears a lot up of what I mean. VoR Debate: Is Britain a nation of monoglots?
Great job Sir 🙏💕
Thank you. So crystal clear..
If you understand than Can you teach me in simple way.
Dear sir , got the real meaning . Thank you very much
What about cognitive linguistics and applied linguistics ?
I hope you talk about applied linguistics in seprate video
Thank Sir ..
applied linguistics is putting the knowledge of linguistics hows, and whats in practical day to day usage, rather than just theoretical.
I'm not surprised to hear that most linguists don't speak lots of languages, but I'm surprised to hear that most of them speak only one, because learning any second language is a natural gateway to learning the differences between languages in all the areas that you describe.
Linguistics should be taught the moment we start teaching kids about algebra
Second and third language should come first from early age
You might teach an adult math but it's just not the same cause it's also a language
Words should be studied like we study numbers
Art and music are as important as words and numbers
It's remarkable on how we care less about language and care more about communicating with machines

Difficult to say. It cuts cross several disciplines.
Very good explanation. Thank you
