GEN102 - What is Linguistics (not)?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- On 1 August 2014, the VLC started two more MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) with almost a thousand participants from all over the world. Some of them might be totally unaware of what linguistics could be. Here is a brief answer: A video about what linguistics is, and, what it is not.
Sometimes people misunderstand what linguistics really is. Most of them always think that when you're studying linguistics, it's like you will be able to speak many many languages. However, it's completely false. Me I am a freshman in linguistics but before I started studying it, I've never put in my mind that I was going to learn many languages. I bought some time for knowing well the discipline. Congratulations my brother because you've just added up something in my theory. Your explanation is clear. Keep up the good way.
"Enjoy the fascination of language study and linguistics". Thank you so much for the interesting video and for sharing your fascination with us, who are also fascinated by linguistics!
Such an informative and interesting video. It's going to be helpful for everyone, for non-linguists to understand the correct meaning of Linguistics, and for many of us in defining our subject properly for others 🙂
Linguistics is indeed a captivating enrichment of my life. May I note that your introduction on this topic was both immaculate and overwhelming! Indubitably, you put much effort on providing a terrific overview on this fascinating field of work. Thank you for sharing this video!
Dear Colleage, thank you very much for your motivating comment. Since we won't stop producing videos on linguistics, language studies and web technology, we always appreciate support and help. And of course anyone can contribute to our channel to make it even larger. Thanks a lot.
Vielen Dank fuer das Video! Alle Informationen waren sehr interessant fuer mich.
Ich moechte Linguistics in der Uni studieren, aber ich weiss nicht genau welche Uni ist die beste in dieser Spezialisierung.
Ist Ihre Universitaet die beste? Oder gibt es bessere Unis?
Ich hoffe dass Sie meine Fragen beantworten werden!
Our university is a good one for linguistics, but it is certainly the only one that integrates YoiTube videos into teaching and learning.
The Virtual Linguistics Campus Okay! I will surely apply! Then after, I will decide which university I will join. Thank you for answering!
The Virtual Linguistics Campus
I love the way he outright says the misconceptions about language and how it isn't just how many languages you know and are fluent in and that language is really more of an art form and the critiques of language vary so vastly. The aspects are so vast and cannot be narrowed down to such finite detail. I hated that when I would tell those around me that I had the desire to be a translator and the biggest thing I would hear would be those stating that it would be so difficult to become one because of how many languages there are out there and I just could not break through to some people that sound structure and meaning and the way the language is portrayed are very important as well and it isn't always just a sound. Having an open mind to work with and an artistic outlook is so important here
Prof, I would like appreciate explanation of corpus linguistics.
Hi
im studying linguistics in my first year in college and this was very helpful ! thank you so much
Excellent explanation. Fascinating and interesting.
Thank you very much for your work to create this video and introduce us to Linguistics! I indeed had a little bit of a wrong idea. :) It is very interesting and I do share your fascination of the field!
I do have one question and I would very much appreciate an answer... I'm in high school and I have a very important project that I have to write trough out the last two ears of school. I want my subject to be "How many languages can a human learn?" And the idea in my head is to explain what happens in a humans brain when learning new languages, what is "the psychology" of it and try to give a relative answer to the question. However, I find it very hard to find literature on the matter... Can you recommend me any books, articles, movies or videos that might help me? Thank you very much!
If I have to give up this exact subject, I sure will do something with linguistics! And if I hopefully don't have to, I sure will engage myself more with linguistics - it is fascinating to me! :)
essennagerry 3 years ago hope you are good .. im really intersting to know about ur project did you do it ! And how was it !
thanks my prof didnt actually explain anything and just gave us this video's link, it helps a lot, thank you so much
We have best prof :)
Very nice
Hi
does linguistics study non-linguistic aspects? for example pragmatics has to do something with body language? non linguistic signs are related with linguistics?
See: th-cam.com/video/YrH5gnxe-wc/w-d-xo.html
I misunderstood certainly what Linguistics means. I wanted to do MA in Linguistics after completing my MA in english. I thought I'd be able to switch as my course is offering Aspects of Language. I am still confused if I can in switch to Linguistics future...bcz that particular subject 'Aspect of Language' is of 1/4th credits of my final year and covering topics like what is Language, History of Eng Language, English Phonetics and Phonology- I & II, English Morphology, English Syntax, Language in use- I & II, The spread of Language, and Stylistics
Plz help me figure out if I can.

Congrats. I stumbled upon you via a TH-cam search and you look interesting.
I was looking for someone with your knowledge set because I came up with a question I didn't know who would have the answer to, so I'm taking a flyer on you.
I'm a writer, so I'm always writing so-and-so's something, and I suddenly got curious how the apostrophy/s combo came (mostly) to indicate that something belonged to someone. I'm sure it's very very old and something so minor who would keep a record of it? But it piqued my interest nonetheless. Do you have any idea of its history?
Correction: no Field Linguist is monolingual (to dispel that linguists are monolingual or can function as a monolingual)
Good After noon Professor, thanks for your well explanation. I'm a retired professor of Arabic language in Morocco.
I'm now a student in Morocco in Departement of English Studies in the first year.
Welcome to Morocco if possible...
If people invite me, I'd love to come.
I have enjoyed a lot this video presentation on linguistics. Thank you.
Thanks a million for the video!
I'm just an average person. I'm not a teacher or anything extraordinary like that but I have learned through difficult times that sometimes I am very misunderstood. I'm trying to learn how to more appropriately communicate and use my words wisely. I feel certain this video will have a profound impact on me.
though i think that a linguist gains a lot from speaking many languages as it makes comparison much easier if you have a "feel" for it and not just the knowledge. In my case learning about linguistics helped me a lot to learn more languages. Before i learned linguistics i spoke 2 languages fluent, now its 4 and i have much less problems learning more languages than i had before
I agree... Linguistics makes it easier to learn more languages, and the knowledge of several languages helps you learn more about linguistics.
Hi, please send me the book" What is Linguistics? by David Crystal.
I study computing science in college and I am about to take an elective course in Linguistics so discovering computational linguistics now has me really considering taking that path in college
How did it go?
@@avaritia5493 I decided to continue with my computing science program. However, I did take two 200-level and one 100-level Linguistics courses, earning A’s and a B+. While I enjoyed the experience, I realized that path wasn’t for me, so I chose to stick with computing science
Beautifully done. Thank you.
I'm sorry ...but I think you mean " what ARE linguistics all about."...you really should know better ....🌀🌀
What about cognitive linguistics and applied linguistics ?
I hope you talk about applied linguistics in seprate video
Thank Sir ..
applied linguistics is putting the knowledge of linguistics hows, and whats in practical day to day usage, rather than just theoretical.
All along I believe that linguistics is a plural but bruh I'm pretty wrong! Thank you for clarification. Maybe I live my whole 18 life a lie. Hahahaha Just kidding.
Does any one know an umbrella term to describe a person who writes words and phrases that are centered on language granmmar linguistics books computer education converstion phrases human communication translation language anthropology like How do you say that in ...., language field work all existing terms encyclopedia phrase books anything and everything how to use these words speach difficulties AI even code and programers who make user interface and machine translation every thing a kind of handbook for different linguists and communication work
Regarding "Psycho-linguistics":
Great to find this channel! I have an interest in, and some education in, linguistics.
I also have a B.A. in psychology from 1971 (and later a Masters in computer science). Speaking of what linguistics is *not*, I learned that the one thing that psychology is *not* is the study of the mind, but rather the study of behavior, which can be observed and measured.
By the way, I thought your exposition was very accurate, but might still be a bit baffling to a neophyte. A few quick examples might have helped.
I really appreciate your time and you:)
I am learning a lot from you.
What about Discourse analysis and Stylistics?
Thankyou so much for the explanation. It really helps me well. Im from Indonesia and now i’m studying ELT in the undergraduate program
I am indonesi juga 😊
What a thrilling explanation!
Amazing...... Will you please making a Vedio about historical linguistic.....
thank you very simple and straight to the point
Very nice explanation Sir...

dear sir, my age is 42-I am commerce graduate as well as, I have diploma in linguistics. Plus A2 German certificate. My question is may I get admission in Master of linguistics in German universities. Sir, as well as if yes, please send me some universities detail in this regard. Thanks a lot
Vielen lieben Dank. Excelente video. Saludos desde Venezuela
Big thanks from moroccan student i really appreciate your efforts . thank u so much . hope to see more ✌
I commend you for the wonderful job. Thanks
I've been watching some videos here since 2016 to now ... I really like this subject and the way you teach😍 great thanks for your sharing
Great! I miss a clear separation from pseudoscientific practices like NLP, which are based on magical thinking and used to invent therapies, methodologies and subsequent pseudocientific practices. Really sad.
The science of neurolinguistic programming is based on modelling people and replicating the results. These are well documented and time-tested methods with a very specific close ended goals. Though it uses concepts of psychology, it is free from the technical jargon and abstraction. It gives viable solutions utilising the reductionist approach to abstract concepts and problems associated with those. So it's far from being a pseudo science.
Thank you. So crystal clear..
If you understand than Can you teach me in simple way.
these videos are incredibly useful! Thx a lot
Sure appreciate this information...cool

you teacher was david crystal?! I envy you!
In fact, that was in 1981/1982 when I was on an MA program at Reading University (GB). And I enjoyed every minute of his teaching.

I find easy to learn the languages of the Indo-Iranian sub-family and Indo-Aryan languages than languages of other families because I am using the concepts of linguistics unconsciously.
