Anyone else sent here because your own professor doesn't know what they're doing? Seriously man, thank you so much for putting all of this out here in a clear and concise way.
This. Also classmates taking up valuable lecture time and putting the professor off with their own anecdotes. God I hate my class this semester. GREAT VIDEO!
I feel the same way. Urgh! I have been trying to comprehend what's on my notes and my lecturers voice record but to no avail. These videos are quite handy.
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
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
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
Thank you professor Ashworth... this video and a few others I have seen from you, are top-notch, clearly communicated and oh so helpful. God bless 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.
Thanks for your well explained Video lesson on these topics. Would you please make another Video explaining grammatical semantics? Your efforts are appreciated!
Thank you Evan... but i am wondering why there some one put thumb down.. if the one doesnt interesting with this... just leave it.. really unnecessary to put thumb down🤨.. Evan put really big effort in making all videos.. which are really awesome.. Sallute Evan..👍
جيد شكرا ً .. نحتاج محاضرة اوسع عن هذا الموضوع للدارسات المتقدمة .. Thank you, good . We and another lecture but it should be more deep and extend in lexical semantics for advanced studies..
Thanks a lot for the explanation, you really help me. And also for the movie recommendation Synecdoche, New York it's really masterpiece and will haunts me for the rest of my life. Thank you.
I found something in Language Habits in Human Affairs by Irving J. Lee (1941) that I call Lee's Elucidation: A finite number of words must be made to represent an infinite number of things and possibilities. I wonder if this principle has a formal, proper name?
Lucky those ones who can have an entire class regularly with this professional... some years ago I found your videos and I wished you could share more often and I even dreamt of enrolling in your classes from university were you work... but I found nothing. Now, with this ironic environment, we are forced to study online and I have the same question: is there any program that is focused on your field where people from different places in the world can have access to high quality lessons like yours? I hope this message can be read and considered. Greetings from Argentina
Thanks for your kind words, Jessica. As far as I know, one has to be enrolled in a university in order to register for any class. However, it is possible that there are linguistics classes on Masterclass or similar sites. I simply don't know--sorry I can't be of more help!
Awesome video! I have a question about prototype theory. It's been a while since I was in school for linguistics so I may be off base here, but I seem to remember something about the Platonic theory about the ideal of an object as part of this idea. Is that related?
Hello! Platonic idealism--admittedly, a topic I don't know a lot about--is indeed related to the concept of prototypes, and I'm sure Eleanor Rosch would be able to talk more specifically about how platonic idealism formed some of the groundwork for prototype theory. I think the differences may lie in the application. That is, Platonic idealism (at least, as I understand it), exists as a philosophical concept (e.g., who we are as humans, where we come from), whereas prototype theory is intended as a psychological/psycholinguistic idea, attempting to demonstrate how we as humans make meaning from the things in the world around us. Really good question here!
It is possible I will make a video on Optimality Theory in the future, but I don't feel comfortable enough right now in my knowledge of the subject to teach it.
I would say they are in a "polysemic" relationship because the meaning of "running" (as in water) and "running" (as in athletics) are metaphorically related (there is energetic movement).
If I say to mom, i didnt spill my coffee, it leaked out of the trash bag when i took out the trash, is that semantics, is it somehow wrong to say i didnt spill the coffee, i didnt want mom thinking i was careless and spilled the coffee, i wanted her to understand it mustve leaked out the trash bag bottom when i took out the trash, she said i was playing word games and it was called semantics and i was wrong or bad for doing that, is this true? Did i do something wrong or bad? I dont get it. Someone please help.
Hello! In short, semantics involves the study of denotational meaning. For example, when people discuss what they think a word means, they are engaging in a semantic discussion.
Hello sir !!! ..i actually have a question about gradable antonyms ...Are comparatives included in this category ?? For instance, tall/ taller/ tallest
No, groups such as "tall/taller/tallest" only represent the application of the comparative and superlative to an adjective, as "taller" and "tallest" still mean "tall". They are not antonyms.

thank you so much sir
I don't want to complain about my linguistic teacher but... you teach much better. Thanks for the video!
Thank you very much🇩🇿
Excellent explanation. Could you discuss topics like optimality theory. Thanks
It is possible I will make a video on Optimality Theory in the future, but I don't feel comfortable enough right now in my knowledge of the subject to teach it.
Excuse me, what is the relationship between that pair( running water and running athletic) of lexical relations
I would say they are in a "polysemic" relationship because the meaning of "running" (as in water) and "running" (as in athletics) are metaphorically related (there is energetic movement).
