Our Modern English Is More Vulgar.

Thou Art A Goode Teecher.

Great 👍

Very interesting.

this was really really useful! merci !

The Great Vowel Shift turned "í é æ á ao ó ú" to "ai í í é ó ú au".

I´m glad I founded your video cause i´ve been scrolling for hours on yotube waiting to find a good EME explanation. It does really look like its the only good guide (in video format) to EME in the entire website. Loved the calm voice and the clear explanations. Have a good day.

The wonders of Creole English. Old English has more life in the tones and pronunciation of words. Creole English just killed the tones and it's more boring.

No way you put ads on this, Dr. Gordon.

absolutely amazing explanation! i have a report next week about this and i learned a lot from this vid, thanks!

진짜 장난 같은 변화

Interestingly, the progressive form has recently appeared in a similar manner in German colloquial speech using the preposition "am". Sometimes the preposition can even be omitted. Perfect forms with "be" instead of "have" are also a feature that German maintains and as of now there are no signs that it could change anytime soon. It appears that German is grammatically way more conservative than English but there are some trends that go in the same direction.

I know this is three years old, but putting a preposition at the end of sentences is not against the rules and never has been. It was a myth passed around by so many writers for so long that people assumed it to be true. However, it was debunked and there is no standard that say a person cannot do that. AND, as a point of interest, there is no standard that says a conjunction cant go at the beginning...so go ham! Put the words: and, but & or at the beginning all you like. AND while you are at it, put words like: with, of or to at the end. BECAUSE of this odd discrimination, I would like to demaned the points taken by my school teachers back by writing this sentence with a conjunction at the front and a preposition at the REAR.

I can't speak normal english properlly is one thing I got from this xD That, and I speak more closelly to EME...apparently. I pronounce pretty much all of the hiden Ls and Hs & Ts. On top of that, I pronounce vowels the old way too but, to be fair, a lot of the sounds aren't that different. Most of the time the EME version is easier to say anyway. Whomever decided on some of the shifts seem to be extremally frivolous or payed by the vowel xD

Houses are way better examples for explaining "within" and "without". Within your house do you dwell--or-- I will go without thine house and suckle my pipe. If you think about it, we modern speakers would seem more ignorant for using those words aside their ritual meaning...not to mention how many people dont realize the original usage of those words. I've literally told people that I would meet them within the house or without the house and gotten blank stares for it. Didnt even know that people didnt use those words that way anymore. (save for within; that one is more commonlly used for "inside" where as without is only ever understood as "to have something go away or have to get by with something being absent) This is the one grammer/vocab thing that I will be mean about though...I will turn to someone who is confused and bluntlly tell them to figure it the hell out from context. There is no excuse for this one; the word literally does what it says on the tin but apparentlly a lot of people have as hard a time understanding this as they do the diference between "to" and "too".

this series is so interesting even if not coming from a linguistic background it is really nice insight. simon roper also covers the evolution of english in the spelling changes and germanic roots. to me icelandic sounds so cool like vikings

Do y’all’s vowels undergo _convection?_

It always helps to understand Scottish and Liverpool accent :D

Bro needs to clean his throat or smth 💀

Saviour!! for my tomorrows presentation

the fun fact was just so useful! it made me understand it even better! thank you very much !

It's illegal to use a legal name, read the #BCCRSS

If you opened your mouth when you talked, we'd be able to hear the differences between the vowels much more clearly. Relax that jaw!

In English, The Great Vowel Shift is what turned “ah, ay, ee, oh, oo” into “ay, ee, eye, oh, yoo.”

This is much more helpful than the total of those tedious pages of textbook plus hours of lectures in my intro linguistic class. clear , concise and complete. thank you so much!

The sound on your video is too low, or maybe you speak too softly. It's almost impossible for me to hear what you're saying even with my volume turned to 100. With subtitles turned on I can understand more, but please fix your sound (BTW I'm a native English speaker). When I go to other videos with my volume turned all the way up, they are super loud, so it's not just my imagination or some technical issue on my end.

I’m from KC. Thank you for the lecture

Exactly what I´ve been searching for! I am absolutely fascinated with Early Modern English, I find it to greatly improve poetry. As a german I have trouble learning Early Modern English, so is there any source of aid you could give?

Great! keep up the good work, brother!

Thank You! Hope this video will help me to pass an exam :)

Thumbs up and I appreciate the content and the intelligent way in which it is presented. But a "lapel mic" would very likely greatly improve the audio and get the Ye Good Professor out of that deep well from which he seems to be speaking... ☺

The very last slide of your presentation was my favorite. I've long been confounded by why the sound we call the letter didn't line up with what I would expect.

Not audible, unless u shut urself in a room with zero noise

You so good , this is the best!😉

Can you explain the need for language standardisation ☺️

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIXWnaSZjdh5mpY Professor Gordon! You should watch this video!

Sound is very low

"Fabric sofTener, uck." :)
