So good and clear!

So basically RUclips is turning humans into animals???

Bramesean Valency Grammar: very good tool that Brames used in the Lamda Calculus.

"What is a linguist doing all day"? Well, if they are working at a university, they would probably be making efforts to get their Ph.D. That's what they are there for, basically.

Thank you so much for this.

This is an unfinished symphony of learning, I learned such a lot from it. Thank you!

Never brings any kind of german, to any kind of land. They always make trouble.

In Canada, people use Canadian raising before voiceless consonants, but not necessarily in front of voiced consonants. So in "high school" or "bite" the first vowel would be raised, but Canadians usually say the word "five" with a diphthong closer to that used in the U.S.

Thank you professor big respect from Morocco 🇲🇦

Update 2024?

"This seems kinda radical" - I got that reference.

Coup d'état du 19mai

Those borogoves definitely became killer.

very good video

Hello man]

I haven't seen a white man before talking against colonialism before to this extent!

thank you.

30:08 "Bill's girlfriends are getting younger and younger" Nobody: Linguists: If you look at the sequence of girlfriends that Bill is dating, age seems to be negatively correlated with the rank in the sequence 😂🤣 Never change

7:40 Of course, Wittgenstein's games! I've been thinking for some time that the battle between generative and cognitive linguistics mirrors the contrast between the early and later Wittgenstein, would you agree?

0:57 even as a Californian I feel like I’ve heard “sekker terry”

It felt like I was taken by the hand into Construction Grammar! Thank you for the kindness of making this available!

What are the career options after PG in psycholinguistics??

Excellent. Thank you very much.

I love the birds in the background. Even if they are not part of the youtube video frame 😂

Absolutely accurate Good job

Dear Professor! What type of linguisitcs deals with collocations? Cognitive, applied, etc...?

Explaining the noun bias. Languages differ one from another in almost all aspects with 2 important exceptions: all have nouns and verbs. On this bases, it should be recognised that verbs and nouns are the original parts of speech, that emerged in the time immemorable with the first human words. As the child learns nouns first, it seems that the nouns were earlier, before verbs, and afterwards the rest was created. I heard that in my language, which is highy inflected (Polish) children learn the declination of nouns first, and after that the conjugation of verbs. If this is true for other languages, I believe this is the explanation. The noun was first, for naming objects, situations and activities. Then, the verb appeared. By combining verbs and nouns a broad tool for communication was invented. Due to Chomsky, the first language learning is rather conditioned by instict. This way, it all seems to be logical: they learn nouns first.

Thank you professor. I work at a large, public rehabilitation hospital. I strive to develop materials that allow me to detect the specific difficulties of children with language disorders, so we can taylor their therapy plan (in Spanish). These videos are of great help.

Kindly provide us with the answers for the examples you ask us to think about here so we’d benefit from the comparison.

I do like linguistics too and linguists do a great job and are fascinated.

In fact the linguist approach rather than the mathmatical approach is how I solve programming tasks. Which seems to confuse a lot of math heads.

i can’t even understand the cognitive linguistics in Chinese but i tease out it through this English course❤🎉really helpful and impressive !!!!!!!!

Thank you.

Martin my daughter is thinking of studying in Neuchâtel, but missed the open day? Have any of your colleagues in the English department posted videos talking about their courses, teaching, the place? It's a challenge to decided which is better, Neuchâtel, Geneva or Lausanne.

I read it differently in the study of Bialystok and in the book of Grosjean, too (I am talking about 14:30-15:30). Acutally, in the study came out that all bilinguals have an advantage, but the advantage of English-Chinese children is smaller. And it is not because of other type of writing system in the sense you are presenting (because English-Hebrew children had according to the study actually the same advantage as English-Spanish children). Hebrew has the same system as English or Spanish, because it is based phonetically. That is not the case in Chinese or Korean etc. So the signs themlselves don't play such a big role, the system of putting signs and parts of speech together do (if morphems or phonems). That's what Bialystok found out and I think you might misunderstood that.

Superb . Great clarity of mind and content, whilst introducing a confounding subject.

Thank you so much for the great lecture! Is code-switching the same phenomenon as language switching?

Thank you for your investigation. I learnt a lot from your video

I hate to say it, but I think it's a pretty good indicator it's high time to start seriously considering a future in studying linguistics when the cons start sounding like pros... 😅

Hello Martin, I really like your videos, by chance, Do you have a linguistics program to follow with students, with topics to be developed in a class? I'll appreciate it!

Thank you for this video! Great insight into not only linguistics specific career path, but also into the academic field as a whole. Very helpful as I'm choosing between industry and academia.

24:40 Holy crrap! I was looking for MI - how to calculate? Great. Thanks. Need more info on how to calculate MI of collocations with other softwares.

Great video. I think it’s what I need to know for my thesis.

this was very helpful , thank you very much .

Such a brilliant lecture professor! Thank you very much for your effort and for the simplicity and clearness that you expose these difficult topics

Martin: you probably figured this one out yourself Me: *completely lost in Nigerian pidgin* Uhm, yeah, no.

Very clear presentation. Thanks.

thank u for this! j'ai réussi mon exam grâce à cette vidéo!!!

In your opinion, what is the main reason why English lost most of its morphological complexity while German largely preserved its own declensions and conjugations? Is it the fact that English was subject to intensive language contact, whereas German was not?
