Taboo is a big topic in anthropology and religious studies too. My favorite examples are cultyres with taboos so strong that they DON'T name the taboo object at all. The most ridiculous version (to me) is making soeaking the name of a particular deity taboo. It just gets so c ridiculous so quickly. Any jews reading this know what i mean.

"Nobody dont like me" "No. Nobody likes you." "Nobody dont like me" "No. Nobody likes you." "Nobody dont like me" "No. Say 'Nobody likes me." "Nobody like you" "No. Nobody likes you." "Nobody dont like me or you" "No. Say nobody likes me" "Okay, Nobody don't likes you, mommy" And this is how you improve the self-esteem of your child, but not their grammar.

Keep going 🎉

Thanks sir 🎉

Slowly please, not all of us are Americans

I can be looking at her talking for hours.

Thanks for this video!

Great channel!

I was watching HIMYM before this video lol

After 5 years I'm still waiting for more videos. Please do them. Cheers from Spain Basque Country.

And now, the word 'meat' has another totally different meaning nowadays

Hiya! Is there any ranking of the the contraindications for which just a vowel (V) wins out (as opposed to CV, CVC, VC)

I wanna learn so much but that Nana shirt is just the highlight for me.

I feel like this "5 vowels" argument falls apart though because English does NOT have 5 vowels. It has 5 vowel LETTERS but a lot more vowel PHONEMES, similar to other European languages. English is non phonetic so those letters often do double duty.

by the way the first thing I interpreted this as is people have been to Montreal longer than I have

Like my favourite sentence in German that I made up and it's only half a sentence: (e.g. Es besteht kein Zweifel), dass das das Das das *das* Das ist ist. Or rather: Es besteht kein Zweifel, dass dies jenes Das ist, welches das besagte Das ist.

I think this is what I'm looking for? conlaning

I'll need this later, maybe.

It's the 2020s, I'm watching these on 1.5 times speed

The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Yes, the arcana is the means by which all is revealed.

Thank you for the explanation!

I love the obvious HIMYM references ❤❤❤❤😂

Why do American men use so much falsetto?

9 years later, this is still fascinating, and very well explained!!

I’m just here for the shirt

That's great but where can I find a list of these? Also you will notice the onomatopoeia for horse hooves is actually a pattern of four syllables with one sound repeated at least twice. Every language you mentioned followed this pattern.

Attention is all you need and all you need is wug

This hasn’t aged well. I would argue with the claim that Chomsky is the father of modern linguistics. He is the originator of one linguistic theory, which has been very influential, arguably too influential. Recent computer models based on generalised neural networks have achieved a remarkable success in language production and translation. That a generalised model can do this is strong evidence against the idea of a detailed language model in the human brain. It is evidence that grammar is a feature of language, not the brain. Given how bad academic language tuition is, witness school and university teaching, I struggle to accept much of modern linguistic theory when it comes to second language acquisition.

Why isn't there a maxim of speed? Cause if there were, this guy is definitely flouting it.

Thanks for thiseffective information

Did you stop making videos? Do you still post content anywhere?

your videos got me through my bachelor's degree 8 years ago! i've graduated with a master's degree three years ago. now i'm rewatching these videos to brush up on basics to prepare for my application for a phd. so basically, THANK YOU so much. linguistics forever. 🥰

The sound [b] has the Distinctive Feature matrix is [+labial, +stop, +cons]. Whats the distinctive feature matrix por the labial implosive [ɓ]?

So.. Rosemary's Baby= has Ms. Rose as an agent? And what was theta role again?

ok

is it just me or does everytime he says "t" it sounds like a "ch"

wug is all you need

I am studying for the subject of Psycholinguistics and my teacher recommended this video to review the topic of garden path. You explain it all so well. Thank you!!

How i met your mother

I was pleasantly surprised by Moti's fluent Indonesian phrase at the end of the video--"Sampai jumpa!" Didn't see it coming. 😁

Thank you brother's

This man was arrested. I can't believe it.

great

hi! where can i read more about this phenomenon?

Astute content, indeed. A book I read on similar topics was an eye-opener. "Galaxies United" by Olivia Whitestone

why is there a strawberry jam in the bookshelf ?

😍🥰🤩🥰😍😍😍🥰🤩🥰😍😍😍🥰🤩🥰😍😍😍🥰🤩🥰😍😍😍🥰🤩🥰😍😍

日本語にもともとvの音は無いので、 表記上はve(ヴェ)になっていても、実際はbe(ベ)と発音されることが多いですね

Your videos are great. I love looking at the changing bookshelves. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and The House of Leaves are on my shelves as well. ♥
