if I had a professor who spoke so steadily and succinctly in each course i would cry and also get straight As
Introduction to Linguistics brought me here. :)
Thank you, sir.. I work as a teacher in an primary school and now a third stage in college. These lessons were difficult for me until I followed your short and beautiful explanation
A lot of love from Algeria. Thank you for your explanation
Great sir. I am your regular student, I'd say if you create different playlist and explain each minor subject in linguistics in detail, so that will help us alot. Eg: A playlist on language origin, evolution, speech and writing, phonetics, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, psycholinguistics, Sociolinguistics, computational linguistics, anthropological linguistics , , , , and many more
A cat is a hyponym of a vomit maker 😅Thank you for a clear and concise explanation sir 🙏
Brilliant video! So clearly explained in detail but in such little time - Just what you want in an educational video
hi everyone welcome thanks for joining me in this video i will be discussing semantics which has to do with the study of meaning in terms of words phrases and sentences specifically in this video i'll be • 0:15talking about lexical semantics which has to do with the study of words now in this video i'll be covering several concepts including lexical relations componential analysis and prototype theory first let's clarify the scope of • 0:30semantics itself semantics is concerned with denotational meaning rather than connotational meaning meaning that semantics is focused on what something means rather than how it is used in context • 0:45that is the domain of pragmatics now for example consider this image is this a chair what about this or this there's no easy answer to those questions and hopefully by the end of this video you will see that it largely • 1:00depends on the person being asked that question so first let's talk about lexical relations now lexical relations has to do with the meanings of words in relationship to one another and there are several of these that we'll talk about first let's • 1:15talk about synonymy synonyms are words with similar meanings such as big and large small and little doctor and physician each pair there has very similar meanings so they might be different words but they have • 1:30very similar meanings those are synonyms now we could also talk about antonyms which is the opposite because antonyms are words that have opposite meanings there's actually two types of antonyms • 1:45there's gradable antonymy and non-gradable antonymy gradable antonyms are those in which there's a kind of graded difference it's something that you could imagine on a continuum or a spectrum for example wide and narrow something • 2:00could be kind of wide and kind of narrow it's unclear where one stops and the other begins similarly with kind of short and kind of tall it's unclear where one stops and the other begins so non-gradable antonyms are different
My man, you have, so far, helped me pass 4 subjects. I'm here for the 5th😅 Thank you!
Explained in a very brief and clear way. Thank you for clearing all the concepts and helping in the studies of linguistics.
Very well organized and presented. EVERYBODY would benefit by knowing their "nyms".
Another great video of this channel , Interesting context ,neither too much nor too less info, Presented in an informative as well as funny manner
Thank u from Morocco 🇲🇦 u helped me a lot 🙏🏻
I am very grateful for the lectures you have given us. We love you so much from the VOLTA Region of GHANA 🇬🇭. Please we want more from you on semantics
The thing which i love about you is ,at least you clarify our confusions by responding to our questions ( for which i personaally am indebted to you❤)
Thanks for the great content! I have been using your videos as supplementary materials in some of my classes. I hope you upload more insightful contents soon.
