    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

    hi everyone welcome thanks for joining me in this video i
    will be discussing semantics which has to do with the study of
    meaning in terms of words phrases and sentences specifically
    in this video i'll be
    0:15talking about lexical semantics which has to do with
    the study of words now in this video i'll be covering several
    concepts including lexical relations componential analysis and
    prototype theory first let's clarify the scope of
    0:30semantics itself semantics is concerned with
    denotational meaning rather than connotational meaning
    meaning that semantics is focused on what something means
    rather than how it is used in context
    0:45that is the domain of pragmatics now for example
    consider this image is this a chair what about this or this
    there's no easy answer to those questions and hopefully by
    the end of this video you will see that it largely
    1:00depends on the person being asked that question so
    first let's talk about lexical relations now lexical relations has to
    do with the meanings of words in relationship to one another
    and there are several of these that we'll talk about first let's
    1:15talk about synonymy synonyms are words with
    similar meanings such as big and large small and little doctor
    and physician each pair there has very similar meanings so
    they might be different words but they have
    1:30very similar meanings those are synonyms now we
    could also talk about antonyms which is the opposite because
    antonyms are words that have opposite meanings there's
    actually two types of antonyms
    1:45there's gradable antonymy and non-gradable
    antonymy gradable antonyms are those in which there's a kind
    of graded difference it's something that you could imagine on a
    continuum or a spectrum for example wide and narrow
    something
    2:00could be kind of wide and kind of narrow it's unclear
    where one stops and the other begins similarly with kind of
    short and kind of tall it's unclear where one stops and the other
    begins so non-gradable antonyms are different

    • @naghamalhefnawi
      @naghamalhefnawi 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      2:15they they are either one or the other and they fail the
      kind of test so you can either be alive or dead you can't really
      say something is kind of alive or kind of dead never mind all
      the zombies that you've
      • 2:30seen in movies if you think about the meaning of
      something as a living being it's either alive or it's dead similarly
      somebody could either be married or unmarried you're either
      one or the other there is no kind of
      • 2:45in-between it's not a graded category those are non￾gradable antonyms next we can talk about hypotony and
      hypotonomy is when the meaning of one form is actually
      included in the meaning of a larger other form so
      • 3:00for example a daisy is a hyponym of flour a carrot is
      a hyponym of vegetable aspen is a hyponym of tree a cat is a
      hyponym of a vomit maker these are all examples of the
      meaning
      • 3:15of one word being included in the meaning of a larger
      category now we can next talk about homophony and
      homophony are forms that sound the exact same and that's
      what the word means homo as in same and
      • 3:30phone same sound but they are actually spelled
      differently and they have very unrelated meanings so we could
      talk about c the c is in the body of water and we could talk
      about c as in the action that you perform with the eyes to look
      we could also talk
      • 3:45about bear as in being naked and we could talk
      about bear as in the creature that you don't want to encounter
      in the woods these are homophones these are often confused
      with homo nyms so that means same name homonym
      • 4:00so homonyms are forms that sound the same and
      they are spelled the same but they have unrelated meanings
      so for example consider the word uh bank as in the side of a
      river and bank as in a financial institution
      • 4:15they spell this they're spelled the same they sound
      the same but they have very unrelated meanings we could
      also talk about a pen as in a writing instrument and a pen as in
      a small enclosed space where we might keep livestock or
      unruly children in both of those

    • @naghamalhefnawi
      @naghamalhefnawi 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      4:30examples again we're talking about forms that are
      the exact same they're spelled the same they sound the same
      but unrelated meanings now we could talk about polysemy and
      polysimi has to do with words
      • 4:45that are the same they they're spelled the same they
      sound the same but they have related meanings often based
      on metaphor so for example consider the foot as in an
      anatomical part but we could also
      • 5:00talk about the foot of a table or the foot of a mountain
      so using the metaphor here of the anatomical part that's sort of
      the start the source for us to understand that it's the part of the
      table that's holding the rest of the table up
      • 5:15or the same thing with a mountain similarly we could
      talk about a mole as in the mammal that burrows underground
      spends most of its life in the subterranean environment and we
      could also talk about a mole as in a spy or somebody who's
      been planted for the purpose of
      • 5:30espionage that's sort of using a metaphorical
      relationship with the animal because it is a mole as in a human
      being a spy is perceived as being hidden or unseen that's
      polysemy the pali
      • 5:45meaning many and seem meaning meaning so many
      meanings next we could talk about metonymy and metonymy
      is really interesting because it's a big category but it's really the
      idea that you're referring to one thing
      • 6:00based on some close relationship to another thing
      and this could be in terms of association like for example when
      a server says table 14 needs water of course table 14 doesn't
      need anything it's an inanimate object
      • 6:15but it is used to refer to the customer who is seated
      at that table they're the ones who need water so it's based on
      association but we could also talk about metonymy in terms of
      referring to a container to talk about the contents like when for
      example i say i ate the
      • 6:30whole bag i didn't literally eat the bag if i did i
      wouldn't be making this video i would be in the hospital so i'm
      just referring to bag to talk about the container the chips that

    • @naghamalhefnawi
      @naghamalhefnawi 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      are inside of it for example but we could also talk about
      metonymy in
      • 6:45terms of a part whole relationship where for example
      a captain might say on a boat all hands on deck that means
      that the people themselves they have to go up and do work
      they have to be on deck but we're just picking out one salient
      feature of the
      • 7:00human being the hand to refer to the whole body so
      incidentally that last example of a part whole relationship is
      often called synecdoche and many scholars treat metonymy
      and
      • 7:15synecdoche as two separate ideas and also
      incidentally if you're really interested in seeing a great example
      of synecdoche on film i encourage you to watch synecdoche
      new york it's a fantastic movie and it really provides a
      cinematic display of this concept of a part whole
      • 7:30relationship and i think philip seymour hoffman's
      hoffman's best role anyway i digress so now let's talk about
      confidential analysis componential analysis involves analyzing
      the meaning of words based on
      • 7:45certain identifiable semantic features so for example
      we can take the word bird and we can assign a number of
      semantic features to it based on what we see in the real world
      that for example birds have feathers they may sing songs
      • 8:00and they can fly this is not an exact exhaustive list of
      course it's just a really short and simple list but this is probably
      what we most identify with birds right so this is really useful for
      differentiating the meaning of the word
      • 8:15bird to compare compared to other critters in the
      animal kingdom such as a dog because a dog has none of
      these things but this approach is not without its problems so as
      you may have noticed there is a reliance here on binary
      categorization
      • 8:30and that means that something either is or is not a
      member of a category and that's kind of a problem because
      while a robin may sing songs it may have feathers and it may
      fly what about a penguin a penguin has none of these things
      yet

    • @naghamalhefnawi
      @naghamalhefnawi 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      8:45we still call it a bird so this actually brings us to
      prototype theory which addresses some of the problems with
      confidential analysis prototype theory addresses some of the
      problems with componential analysis namely its reliance on
      binary semantic
      • 9:00features because prototype theory instead looks at
      meaning as a lot of gray area it's a scaled idea here so it's not
      as if something either is or is not a member of a category it's
      • 9:15whether or not something is or is not a best
      representation of that category so all of this really started back
      in the 1970s with the work of eleanor roche who revolutionized
      the figure the field of cognitive psychology and semantics in
      linguistics
      • 9:30by looking at meaning in this way rather than in terms
      of a traditional uh aristotelian or coming from aristotle
      approach in which something either is or is not a member of a
      category so now we can return to this example of
      • 9:45a bird and not look at it in terms of its semantic
      features but look at it from a prototype perspective and we can
      do this through a brief thought experiment so if i ask you what
      is your birdiest bird that might sound like a strange question
      • 10:00but i am not asking what is your favorite bird rather
      i'm asking when i say the word bird what type of bird appears
      in your mind now depending on who you are and your
      immediate environment you might say
      • 10:15a robin or a sparrow a hawk perhaps an eagle but
      you're not likely to say a penguin or an emu an ostrich or a
      roadrunner all of those are of course birds but they don't
      readily possess the
      • 10:30qualities that we tend to identify with most birds so
      some represent some types of birds are better representations
      of that category than others and this is the idea of prototype
      theory that there are some representatives that
      • 10:45are better for that category than others similarly i
      could ask you what is your fruitiest fruit another weird question
      right but i'm not asking your favorite fruit but when i say fruit
      what type of fruit appears in your mind for most people or well
      depending on

    • @naghamalhefnawi
      @naghamalhefnawi 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      11:00where you are raised but most americans might say
      an apple an orange a banana but probably you're not going to
      say a tomato because even though a tomato is technically a
      fruit it doesn't possess the quality that we
      • 11:15readily associate with fruit which is sweetness so
      again some members of a category are better representatives
      of that category than others so unfortunately prototype theory
      is not without its problems just like with confidential analysis
      prototype theory
      • 11:30really works best when we're talking about concrete
      objects such as birds or fruit but it's less useful when we're
      talking about abstract concepts such as fear and love in which
      a prototypical member of that category is more difficult to
      • 11:45conceive of still prototype theory is really useful for
      linguists who take especially a usage-based approach to the
      study of language because it acknowledges meaning as a
      shifting fluid thing that is also culturally determined so
      depending on
      • 12:00where you live you're going to say that your
      prototypical fruit or your prototypical bird is different than
      perhaps somebody who is living in the united states that's just
      based on the fruit and the birds that you see around you in
      your immediate environment
      • 12:15so it has its advantages and disadvantages but i
      would invite you to consider prototype theory as an
      improvement upon the older confidential analysis approach
      which was based on binary semantic
      • 12:30features it's more inflexible and rigid okay that's all
      for this video i hope that you found this useful in the meantime
      thank you so much for watching and i'll see you next time take

    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.

      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!

    Excuse me, what is the relationship between that pair( running water and running athletic) of lexical relations

    • @evanashworth490
      @evanashworth490  ปีที่แล้ว

      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).

    Bank/bank is a classic linguistic example, dating back at least to Lakoff and Johnson, but it's wrong. The central prototype of _bank_ is a long transverse barrier, such as a shore or sea wall or a money-counting table, also called a _counter._

    • @evanashworth490
      @evanashworth490  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching! Just beware that prototypes are determined by one's culture and lived experience, so there is not really an objectively right or wrong conceptualization central to one' prototypes. My apologies if I didn't make that clear.

    • @evanashworth490
      @evanashworth490  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Definitions will differ, but I think of "word play" as an activity that takes words as the subject of entertainment. Word play could be anything: puns, homophones, metaphors... A lot of "dad jokes" involve word play. For example, "What do you you call an alligator who is a judge?" An adjudi-gator!"

    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?

    • @evanashworth490
      @evanashworth490  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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!

    So... I have a question.
    I have a problem with the way this is written.
    "Treat all guns as if they are loaded"
    My thought is that with the words "as if they are" we are allowing the possibility that they may not be. When we allow ourselves the possibility that they are not we allow ourselves permission to decide they are not, and that's how people get hurt. I have what I believe to be a better way to express this, but what I'm looking for is someone to tell me if I'm right and what this process would be called.

    • @evanashworth490
      @evanashworth490  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Brett. You are correct that the "as if they are" phrase in "Treat all guns as if they are loaded" allows for the possibility that they may not be. I suppose the intent of that message is to assume that all guns are loaded. I'm not sure what process you would be referring to, but the use of the word "if" in that sentence makes it related to concepts of conditionality. I hope that helps!
