Hello, I just wanted to say that I very much appreciate having access to these videos. This professor is so clear and precise. I am happy to hear that you will be uploading more videos in the future!
Thank you for having uploaded this online courses! Helped me a lot with the exam on generative grammar @Babes-Bolyay University in Cluj Napoca, Romania. Can't thank enough :).
Hi there. I just wanted to pop in to say that there are indeed plans to continue this series and also to start several new ones. Your support is much appreciated!
It seems the content follows the chapter numbers in the following free book - www.ling.upenn.edu/~beatrice/syntax-textbook/ So, you could read about chapter 3 there
I can't help but notice that these videos have been uploaded before the videos which come before this one in the list, and that there is a gap in the list. Are the missing episodes going to be uploaded? I kinda wanted to binge watch them...
03:12 Is there a reason why the head is buried so deep down in the tree instead of being its root? I mean, why this structure in particular? Is there any deeper reason behind that? 05:45 That's what I very often have problems with in this approach :q Looks like a better model is needed...
Hi Linguistics and English Language at the University of Edinburgh, Could you explain to me why you use a triangle instead of a line to refer to a noun, verb etc. is there a difference between a line and a triangle?
These are so great videos! However, like others, I am also wondering why I can't find the preceding clips (if there are any). Also, can we expect that more videos on more advanced topics in syntax will come out soon?
#Help. Can anybody shed some light on the difference between N and NP? In "the collection of bicycles", what makes "collection" a N while bicycle is labled "NP"? Is it because "collection" is the head of the setence, and only the head of a noun phrase would be labled as "N", which makes other nouns in the sentense "NP"?
I think it's because in this case, we can't replace 'collection' with a more comlpex phrase. Even through we can add some adjectives, say, 'the enormous collection of bicycles', but the adjective should be rendered to another adjunct beneath 'the' but above 'collection'. However, I don't think the kernal of an NP is necessarily to be an N. For example, in the phrase 'the enormous collection of bicycles in Paris', 'collection of bicycles' serves the kernal of the whole phrase but is still an NP.
Sorry, I just realized I was wrong with my second statement. Since you can add adjuncts after the kernal noun infinitely, such like 'the collection of bicycles for the public in Paris next week...', but you can never add another specifier before it. So I think the better way is to consider the other adjuncts sisters of the N‘, as in [ the [ [ [collection [of bicycles]] [in Paris] ] [next week] ] ]. Thus the kernal should be always a single noun

Thank you for saving my semester.
Her presentation is extraordinary..love from India
Definitely the best syntax-lecture videos I've ever watched, but is there part 3?

the 3rd chapter is missing, would you please upload it! thank you for all the playlist, it was very helpful.

Finally a clear understanding of these very complex concepts! I only wish I would have discovered this sooner!. Thank you, thank you!

I've never seen a tree diagram where subject is part of the VP, as she did with the sentence "Marry gave John books" at 5:30ish
thank you so much, this is easier to understand than the way my lecturer explained it
That was incredible, I am really understanding this for the first time, thank you, thank you so much.
such a graceful aura !
Hicham Chahbouni Alla do you have any notes about syntax
Thank you so much for uploading this! I've finally understood !
I really appreciated the marvelous videos. Those helped me a lot. Love from Japan!
These videos look great! But I notice the ones up so far go from 4.1 to 5.2 -- are there any plans to put up parts 1, 2, or 3?
Here's 5.1:
Generative Syntax 5.1 - Noun Phrases
03:12 Is there a reason why the head is buried so deep down in the tree instead of being its root?
I mean, why this structure in particular? Is there any deeper reason behind that?

Hi
Linguistics and English Language at the University of Edinburgh, Could you explain to me why you use a triangle instead of a line to refer to a noun, verb etc. is there a difference between a line and a triangle?
Absolutely love Ravel's Oiseaux tristes at the beginning of each video.
These are so great videos! However, like others, I am also wondering why I can't find the preceding clips (if there are any). Also, can we expect that more videos on more advanced topics in syntax will come out soon?
Part 3 of the playlist is missing, would you please upload it!
Very clear and it really helps! Thank you
Thank you very much, these are terrific tutorials!
thanks for uploading this series
Yeah, are there any videos which preceed this one?
Just perfect. Thanks
Thank so much for this video. This scheme is valid for all languages? Because the structure of romance languages ist quite different.
Can you elaborate? I'm curious.
Can you make more videos?
This is much appreciated.. Gracias!
