Hi! I just finished all the videos from this series. It's been a pleasure to get to know more about linguistics since I'm each day more interested in this field. Also, I'm a 4th year student of the program English Pedagogy in Chile, and your videos have helped to get better at English as a second language. Hopefully you'll upload more videos about linguistics:) Thank you very much!
I think for me the logical distinction between a sword and a knife is a way of holding it and the corresponding movements. Fun fact: in Russian it's not a lightsaber, it's a lightsword
Thank you for making these videos they are a huge help ! :)))) I'm studying for an entrance but even if I don't get in, I think I'll still be interested in linguistics now that I understand these things!
this series on linguistics 101 helped a lot so thank you so much for sharing them here on UA-cam!! I have an exam in both introduction to literary & cultural studies and introduction to linguistics tomorrow so these videos covered everything that I have to study for and for was able to follow along with my university slides and flashcards. You offered a lot of great examples and explanations for certain topics that I had previously struggles with, so thank you for that! I will go over my flashcards a few more times, but after watching your videos I feel a lot more confident in my abilities and think I am well prepared for my exam!! I really loved all the pop culture references you out in there as well. As a huge nerd I really appreciate the Harry Potter, Star Wars and LOTR references and it made it a lot easier to follow along. Looking forward to other videos in the series as I find sociolinguistics and AAVE really interesting!!
Great Videos, but one thing i noticed: If a word is spelled an pronounced in the same way, but both of these words have different meanings, it is called a "homophone" like date (in a calender) and date (the fruit from the date-tree) :)
I really appreciate your work here. There is however one thing that struck me: your understanding of signifier as a physical entity (spoken word / written word or gesture) seems to me a bit of a simplification. In fact, signifier and signified are both purely conceptual: this is evident once you observe that there is no relation between the acoustic signal, the set of graphemes and the gesture coding the same word (concept). That's why I'd rather consider spoken word, written word or gesture as "physical realization of the signifier" or simply "stimulus" rather than the signifier itself. I basically refer to the tetradic sign model as proposed by a Belgian linguist Jean-Marie Klinkenberg. Best regards
Sir, I need your help. I don't quite understand the different usage of applying semantics in analyzing figurative language and pragmatics in analyzing figurative language. Would you mind to explain it to me? Thanks in advance, sir.
Thank you so much .it was profoundly explained and extremely helpful.however ,I would like to know more about composional semantics and its four major areas in details ( anomaly,idiom,metaphor and ambiguity ) .please and thank you in advance .

Hello sir, I am searching your lecture on pragmatics but it is not here. Please send me the link.
Great Videos, but one thing i noticed: If a word is spelled an pronounced in the same way, but both of these words have different meanings, it is called a "homophone" like date (in a calender) and date (the fruit from the date-tree) :)
Thanks for the eksplaination and the example🙏🙏❤️

Besides the book “ The language instinct “ by Steven Pinker, what other books would you recommend for learning about linguistics?
One of the ones I usually recommend is “The art of language invention”. Very interesting.
Thank youu

What is the semasiology??
8:20 Is this the reason why Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is the name for the fear of long words?
Thank you very much, I learned a lot from your videos and your series and I passed my exam thanks to you 🤍🤍
Hey can you help me to interpret the meaning of colorless green ideas sleep furiously!?
The sentence has good syntactic structure, but it doesn't make any sense!
Do a Thai update video!
