Thank you so much for uploading these wonderful videos, professor. Just read your essay in English Historical Linguistics: Approaches and Perspectives this week (my reading assignment) and absolutely loved it ;)
Thank you so much for this very helpful video! I especially like that you chose to include these small exercises, makes understanding the corpus easier :)
Hi Martin, thanks for the brilliant overview you've covered in this video series. I was wondering - was there supposed to be a video about South East Asian varieties as well? I couldn't find it anywhere. Otherwise I just thank you again for these videos. They'll be a great help for me in an exam on World Englishes which I'll be taking soon. /Sakari
Hey, this might be a shot in the dark but I am looking for Christmas presents for my boyfriend who is studying English language and linguistics. He is doing modules on English around the world, English in a historical perspective and English and sexuality. Just wondering if there are any books you have read on English language and linguistics that you would recommend? Thank you!
Your boyfriend is one lucky guy! Here are some cool books for language lovers: Guy Deutscher: Through the language glass, The unfolding of language Gretchen McCulloch: Because Internet Dan Jurafsky: The language of food John McWhorter: Our magnificent bastard tongue David Crystal: everything the man has ever written
I was surprised at about 17:00 to see how little "loo" had permeated Indian English given the massive "Take the Poo to the Loo" multi-media campaign against public defecation described here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Poo_to_the_Loo. As for examining instances of "expensive" in American vs. British English suggested as practice near the end of the video, they tend to favor the adjective "dear" over "expensive" in the UK.
Some heroes might create corpora, others probably produce YT videos about corpora. Thank you for your video and your help for my research essay :)

Another gem of a lecture there, Martin! Thanks so much! Your work is greatly appreciated. And your hair doesn't look bad at all. :)
You're too kind.
