Hi, I'm a French student in Linguistics, and your videos are so helpful - especially the ones about Pragmatics and Semantics ! just wanted to thank you, keep up this great job :)
omg this is so fascinating, especially this concept of 'common ground'. Sounds like every act of speech is based on the assumption of a shared reality, a shared set of possible worlds except for the one that is being talked about (otherwise the speaker is just stating the obvious). Persuasion, then, is the act of eliminating and creating possible worlds in the mind of someone else. Lol I'm probably wrong but I feel like all of this is something I could ponder for a long time.
I have been bingeing your videos as of late, and I have to say that your presentation skills have definitely improved over time... and the content is as good as ever :) Keep up the great work
I recognized your _Breaking Bad_ references and now I can see your _The OA_ references. I'm guessing you almost always use pop culture references and I just haven't gotten most of them.
We're always happy when people get them, though! We do have them for pretty much every episode, but we like a really large number of different things, and some of them are pretty obscure. I don't even think any member of the team knows all of the different references we've done per episode. I'm glad you got these ones. ^_^
What's that notation with the lambdas? looks like fun! I've only done a small amount of reading on pragmatics, but this looks like it might be a nice place to jump in. :)
It's lambda calculus! Really it's more of a semantics than a pragmatics thing, but it allows us to do a lot. We've already done an episode on it already, so you can try checking that out here: th-cam.com/video/BwWQDzXBuwg/w-d-xo.html

Thanks so much for the kind words! We really appreciate it. I've passed it on to the team. ^_^
Éloïse Genaudet hi, i'm student of language linguistics and my research is about(child's pragmatics) can you help me please!
That's HOW to do things with words in life.

That's a really interesting concept! I'd have to think that through more. ^_^
Let's say, the main purpose of text is to induce reader's hallucinations. I suppose speech functions in the same mode.
I find semantics hard. But MAN, I think I almost have something. Keep it up!

Damn, before I turned on subtitles I thought your name was O.T. Lieberman.
Yep, you're not the first person to think that based on the intro. The [m]s run together, and Moti's an unusual name, so. ^_^
Thank you for your videos.

Thanks! I'll have to do some catching up, apparently! ^_^
pls how can we answer this question. how does it take to be a semanticist ? pls i need the answers
When I think I'm finally understanding something, the lambda comes. Do you have a video introducing this notation?
We do! It's right over here: th-cam.com/video/BwWQDzXBuwg/w-d-xo.html
