    Same here. I am studying with Michael’s book, too. So helpful that it made me do some search for the authors on the internet. That’s how I get to listen to this lecture this morning.
    Spoken Grammar will be a great help especially for non-native English speakers including me who struggle and are desperate to talk like native ones. Thank you so much for your magnificent work!

    This is very interesting, I think we do this instinctively. The not wanting to be in direct part. For example when I call to a reserve a study room, I don't go "yeah I was calling to reserve a study room at 2 pm." ya know, I usually go, "good afternoon, I was calling to see if you have any study rooms available?"

    An expert on spoken grammar is himself an excellent speaker. This video is a gem, thank you!
    (My one quibble: I demand that he meet more Americans! The subjunctive is alive here, God bless us.)

    A very interesting lecture. I have learnt that we should differentiate between academic grammar and spoken grammar..As the aim of learning and teaching grammar is to facilitate interaction, we'd better know how native speakers think and use grammar in their daily life. Obviously , in formal situations and academic context, the use of rules, should be taken into account.

    -Dr Michael Mccarthy in an oxford lecture, explained how computers analysed a corpus (a collection of language texts). For a long time the spoken grammar which is different from the written one was not a matter of study. The language of common people (vulagaria) was studied thanks to corpus linguistics, computer shows how many times certain expressions has been repeated in a corpus, for example, in everyday conversation people engage by saying (which ,,,,,,)
    A\co-construction/doing the talk together:*Example: A: I have been in a long trip for three days
    B: which must be exhausting (the use of which here is better than saying “it must be exhausting” because it creates flow and fluency).
    B\Flow: *Example: the past continuous is more frequently used than the simple past while starting statements (tense aspect choices)
    - I was wondering / I was thinking (to show indirectness , politeness)
    C\ Situated Ellipsis: *Exampe: - hammer please.
    - Ready yet? (conversation is situation related_Only say what you need to say, using the language in action/ economy of expression) NB: Only corpus can tell when this occurs
    • The future lies in future grammar just like the past 5000 years ago did in written grammar. Now SG (spoken Grammar which is also akin to E-grammar) allowed the acceptance of varieties and diversity.

    co-constructive-American jazz music. Amercian black conversation is a foundation of the Jazz construct; fascinating to listen to. Each speaker is a participant in the other's comments, adding, improvising, embellishing, and contributing in a manner that results in a flowering of a thing wholly outside of itself .

    Listening to this makes me realize how anti-social I am. I always try to speak in monologues and wait until people finish speaking, which makes me feel bored and then I don't respond.
    The idea of co-creation in conversation is fascinating.
