It's a very interesting topic and I have this module in the university so please sir could you provide me with your email I need your help because my exam will be next week
Im going to be honest right now. Firstly thank you so much for the clean video. It was indeed very helpful... but my problem is, In general we don't give enough value to helpful people like you and that bothers me a lot because without you I don't think I could learn the basics of sociolinguistics. We don't look up for you until we have an exam or whatever, so Im here to give some love :) thank you so much again. (not a native speaker of English)
This is so interesting, thank you. I am sure most people will be aware that Mrs Thatcher's accent around 36.30 was not her native accent. She had elocution/public speaking lessons to develop it.
I am an undergraduate student who took an introduction to linguistics course and loved it. Since that was all my school offered, I decided to do an independent study in sociolinguistics. This presentation was extremely helpful and I look forward to your other videos!
Wow I just looked up Wiliam Labov again as you reminded me he exists, he is 94 years old as of today. He put 60 years into the study given he started in 1960. Such a die hard icon. Thanks for the video.
I really appreciate your timing for explaining these sociolinguistics issues in such a professional way and thepatience you have as presenter, especially for those whose English is not their second language, so we understand perfectly.
Good evening. I am a MA student in linguistics and this video has been recommended to us as an essential introduction to Sociolinguistics. I would like to thank you as I found it really useful.
Your explanation about the phonological difficulty in pronouncing "cleverer" in AE is interesting . It is definitely difficult to articulate, but my language teachers always taught us that one-syllable words could take "-er" endings, but two or more syllable words had to be formed with "more."
Your teacher gave you an explanation that is easy to remember and that works well most of the time. That's what a good teacher should do. However, there are many 2-syllable adjectives that prefer "-er": easy, heavy, simple, etc. And then there are also 1-syllable adjectives that prefer "more": real, ill, dire, etc. If you want the full scoop on English comparatives, look here: members.unine.ch/martin.hilpert/ECSU.pdf
This is interesting, entertaining and informative. I can also see how RP (BBC) English was an indicator of upper class upbringing and at the other end Cockney English a symbol of the working class. The news reader with RP English has long gone. Maggie thatcher was a good example of RP as is Joanna Lumley. In N Ireland drive 20 kilometres in any direction and the dialect changed, but in NZ especially the North island, the dialect remained the same over the entire island. In the south of NZ people rolled their rs in Invercargill due to the influence of Scottish settlers. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and research.
I found this video very useful. Personally, I think everything is very well explained. This video pluss the discussion that we have had in class about these particular topics and concepts make me understand better what sociolinguistic is about. thus thank you very much for share your knowledge with us. Miriam Gabriela Ramos.
My knowledge about the topic became stronger after watching this video. thank you so much. I have exam of sociolinguistics paper in the first week of next month :-)
What an excellent video! You are such an engaging presenter. I appreciate the use of a note slideshow, especially one that has so many specific audio and visual examples of the concepts. I wish my actual university presented class material this effectively.
Thank you for sharing sir here are my highlights i've listed: - Sociolinguistics is the study of language variation in society, including pronunciation, vocabulary, and sentence structure. - Language choices reflect social identity and are influenced by factors such as geography, socioeconomic class, ethnicity, gender, age, and sexual orientation. - Dialects are characteristic of specific groups and are just as grammatical as standard varieties. - Sociolinguists examine both linguistic and social factors to explain language variation. - Overt prestige is associated with standard language, while covert prestige is linked to stigmatized dialect features. - Sociolinguistics reveals how language variation is shaped by society and identity.
Excellent video! I've watched other videos about this subject, but the distinction between linguistics and sociolinguistics became really clear to me when I saw your slides about internal and external factors that explain variation.
I like the video and the way how you explain those issues of sociolinguistic, the real examples, etc. I could notice the professionalism that you used at the moment of talking about this branch of linguistic.
This is an amazing video, I could comprehend many things about sociolinguistics because everything is explained so clearly. This is a great resource to share and discuss in class, thank you for this wonderful video. Good job!
I really liked the video, the examples that you gave. Thank you so much to share this to all of us, it has been very useful not only for my task also in my professional growing! thanks a lot!!
I really enjoyed this video and it is interesting learn new terms of sociolinguistics, also despite this is a long video I didn't get boring rather than I felt curiousity of the different examples which you gave us , all the information is useful and enrich us in this area.
12:40 I'm almost certain that's the voice of comedian Dara Ó Briain, who's not English, but Irish :) I've heard his voice many times. But it also sounds to me like he uses a short /ae/ in "answer", like a person from northern England would
Thanks for this video.... Better impossible. You have the art of explaining accurately. I have clear many doubts and hopefully I will use this knowledge acquire with my future students. God Bless You Marti Hilpert! :)
Many thanks, Manuel! There have been so many friendly comments in the past days, are you guys all from the same linguistics class? Anyway, I'm happy that you found the video useful!
Thank you so much. I was searching for something like this ... you made it easier to understand with examples. This was very interesting since english is not my first language thank you!!!
15:30 "I wonder what those people are saying" I can tell you personally a more outdated term for what is now soda in the North East of US is "tonic" or /tɑnɪk/
Dear Prof. Hilpert, thank you very much for this video! I would like to ask you if there are some papers, literatures and materials in general about myths about dialects and where I can them online. I would like to quote what you are saying in this video and it would help me to know on which papers you based this video. Thank you very much!
Dear Professor, thank you for giving such a good lecture! I like the way you introduce the study. I can see that you're really teaching, passing the knowledge instead of showing that you know these things :))) Hope one day I'll have the opportunity to attend your course.
Hi, I would like to ask you about the rhetorical effect in a speech or a text. Could you please explain the concept and its connection in a spoken and written text?/ Best regards
thanks a lot, your way of explaining this topic was very clear.I would like to ask you this question: What does the relationship between language and culture mean to a certain group and to the individuals within these groups?
Thanks, Mido. Your question is a very big one. Any chance that you could make it more specific? I don't think that I can give you an answer in 2-3 sentences, but I could point you towards a few references.
16:35 Unless negative concord is used in most writing and formal business in these regions, it's not a "rule" and you don't "have to do it". It's just a spoken tendency in those regions.
Thank you very much for this video, I really enjoyed and I learned about the different things of sociolinguistic and I found very clear the most important of the sociolinguistics terms.
Hi Martin I'm loving your presentations on Sociolinguistics they are a fantastic addition to my university lectures . Can you recommend any books to help me dig deeper into sociolinguistics? Looking forward to watching many more of your videos.
Hi Kevin! For a basic overview and a first pass at key studies, I can really recommend Miriam Meyerhoff's Introducing Sociolinguistics. The ultimate deep dive is William Labov's multi-volume Principles of Linguistic Change.
@@MartinHilpert Thanks for the recommendations. I'm also loving your series on Constructions and I've managed to get a copy of your book. Thanks again.
This is video is so great!!! Although I am not a student majoring in linguistics, I can understand what are you mostly talking about. This topic is really interesting that I want to know more :D Many thanks :D
I have a question about dialect and accent Sir. Is it that dialect has to do with varieties in words or diction and accents has to do with varieties in pronunciation?
Hi sir First thank you very much for this great video. it has helped me a lot. Please keep on explaining things related to general linguistics.It is one of the main topics in our studying. Please explain Chomsky's MP , it is very difficult and one of the main sources in our course😰😧😫😵
