A course in Cognitive Linguistics: Color

[@joelthomastr]

This is an unfinished symphony of learning, I learned such a lot from it. Thank you!

[@die_schlechtere_Milch]

This is my favorite video out of all of your videos I saw so far. Thank you so much for your online courses and all the effort and passion you put into making them, it is always a great joy to listen to them. Please don't stop!

[@MartinHilpert]

Thanks a lot, Simon!

My dear professor, I’m a teacher of English in Madrid, who, on “political” grounds -let’s put it this way- must take an exam every two years, in order to keep working as a teacher in State High Schools. This year, I got an “A” with my lecture on Grammar. I want to thank you indeed for your lessons. Your course on Grammar, and the sections on Transformational Grammar have been for me enormously useful. Thanks for your knowledge and your generosity. Ena Martínez Galliard

+Ena Martinez G. Many thanks for your feedback, and congratulations!

When will you please upload the lectures on materials and space? Have you forgotten, Professor Hilpert?

One word comes to mind: Inspirational! Greetings from a fellow (applied) linguist from Belgium!

I'm Vietnamese and green, blue and turquoise to me are 3 different colors. The grue color to me is just like the color of life, as green is leaf grue and blue is ocean grue

[@MartinHilpert]

+Khang Chau The color of life, I like that!

Great video. This doesn't discount your points about categorization, but as a native English speaker, I can give you some more interesting thoughts. On the Sauce/Soße thing... All of these things can also be called "sauce" in English. Sauce is a category that basically means a food additive that is generally liquid-ish. "Gravy" is a type of sauce that is meat or fat based with flour to thicken it. Likewise, "Salad Dressing" is a type of sauce that is used for salads, but if it is used elsewhere, the same liquid might be called "sauce" again. "Toppings" are a different category completely. What is on the ice cream in the video, a native speaker would call "Chocolate Sauce" (or "Chocolate Syrup", "syrup" is another subcategory for a sauce that is sugar based). The category of "topping" means anything extra that you pile on top of something for flavor or texture purposes. For instance, If I poured nuts on top of the ice cream, that would be called a "topping", but a German speaker would not call that "Soße". Also, if you put lettuce or mayonnaise or cheese on a sandwich, this is also a "topping". A topping might be a sauce, or it might not be. In English, we also have the word "Compote" which is analogous to the German "Kompott". They probably both come from French, I'm guessing. Anyway, I loved the video.

Thank you for putting this up. It help me to understand color in translating especially ancient languages. I've studied language as a hobby but I'm also and artist and I've studied a lot about color for years and some color spacing. Because of language differences in English itself a more reliable system was need in industries for reproducing color. They had to come up with something that by- passed these problems. It was called the Munsell color wheel. And the more universal color system the CIElab color wheel. Myself there is only three colors RGB everything else is a mixture of them. And of course CYMK is backwards from the RGB.

There's another video where they talk about this color experiment, very nice editing and everything, can't find it!!

Hi،Mr Hilbert. Please could you make a video with regard to discourse analysis? For written/spoken discourse markers in particular please Thank you

[@dongurudebro4579]

Ok Im not german but austrian but its basically the same language and my family and my friends has a name for evrything which you only called Soße". For me Soße only describes the rough state of which something is in and not a specific thing. It should be noted that our Family is an post aristocrate one so we may just know more words than others. Also some well educated friends of mine are sure that the german language is more precise than nearly all of the programming languages out there. But i got the point you were trying to make! Great Video btw! :)

[@NVMWHATPPLSAY]

I would love to hear from you, professor Hilpert on Mental Spaces and priming.

[@justinward3679]

I recently read through the language glass, this is awesome!

[@angelica502x]

Compote would be the English word for Kompott

[@mari_fer]

Thank you so much for your course, I found every video so interesting and helpful. I'm a linguistics student and I'm glad to have you as a teacher at least in this medium :) PD. Is the spoons video available, professor?

[@MartinHilpert]

Many thanks, María!

[@die_schlechtere_Milch]

There is a chapter on this topic in Sampson's book Schools of Linguistics that I found quite amusing to read. (ch. 4) + it is not very long.

[@kimebensgaard5936]

Man, you're on fire! :-)

[@alicew4388]

Great video! Where can I find the ones on spoons and time? :D

[@MartinHilpert]

I know I promised them... I hope to make them some time soon!

[@alicew4388]

[@sandradermark8463]

Very interesting on why different basically equivalent words across languages may have one seme in a language that their counterparts in other languages...

[@sandradermark8463]

...lack altogether. Which is puzzling to me.

[@robertpfeiffer4686]

I don't see episode number eleven anywhere. Does it exist?

[@mindyreed-morrice9017]

Has anyone found a version of the triplet experiment that can be done with students? I would like to cover this concept in my college course and I would like to begin with an activity. A google search is not yielding much.

[@Prometheus_Bound]

Did you end up doing a video on spoons?

[@sandradermark8463]

When will you upload the lectures on materials and space?

[@MartinHilpert]

I promised to do that long ago :( I'll try to make it happen!

[@sandradermark8463]

@@MartinHilpert That was five years ago and I am still waiting.

I made the same Whorf joke in my theory presentation in my senior thesis! xD I don't think you were there to copy that joke. ;) Good stuff.

[@rogerdavies8586]

Hmm, Stephen Fry on QI said Welsh - that's a Celtic language from the west of Britain - didn't have a word for blue. He was wrong . The word is 'glas' but glas' does also mean the colour of grass. Yet there is another word for green which is 'gwyrdd'. It is true Welsh doesn't have a specific word for brown but it does have orange, purple and pink. So we've leap frogged Stage vi.

*sigh* Your videos are soooo addictive... Edit: I just had to add few "o"s. ;)
