A course in Cognitive Linguistics: Usage-based linguistics

[@kimebensgaard5936]

Thanks for yet another interesting and highly informative video. For some reason, the Hermann Paul quote reminded me of sociolinguistic accommodation. Would be interesting to see if this phenomenon is going to be given more attention by cognitive linguists now, what with the development of cognitive sociolinguistics / social cognitive linguistics that is going on these days.

[@MartinHilpert]

Kim Ebensgaard Definitely. Cognitive sociolinguistics is one of the most interesting emerging areas in CL I find.

[@kimebensgaard5936]

Martin Hilpert I agree. To me, given the interactional function of language, social cognitive linguistics / cognitive sociolinguistics is very much a natural step in the "evolution" of CL. But, man, there are so many interesting developments going on in CL these days. It's really awesome to witness that :-)

I've just passed a final exam in linguistics a few days ago and your videos helped a lot in understanding the material, thank you so much!

[@MartinHilpert]

Peef19 Excellent, I'm happy to hear that!

[@CuriousJayDiscover]

Thank you for the new episode.

Once again your video has saved me! Thank you for the content and great explanation :)

I think the existence of the irrealis "were" is a good argument for diachrony. Huddleston/Pullum (2005) call it "an untidy relic of an earlier system". Some people call the 3rd person singular -s a linguistic fossil, although it does help differentiate between: Steven, go to school. and *Steven go to school. (Steven goes to school)

What night mares ride upon the lingual landscape, the Dreamer or the Dreamt? What cognitive cat claws across this manic modality, the Screamer or the Screamt... betrayed by analogy.

Great help for understanding

Thanks for this interesting lecture, what about usage-based semantics?

[@miguelhumanescabrera8770]

Great video. Thank you so much for sharing this with us

I can’t find the mentioned vid on ‘analogy’. Would you please drop a link in the description, Martin? Thanks.

Cheers for the video! I have a term paper due where I have to analyse the Poverty of Stimulus argument from an usage-based perspective. Including an evaluation of 5 research studies, also from an usage-based perspective. Though one!

[@MartinHilpert]

Good luck with the term paper!

Thank you for the video. it was really helpful.

[@phildanielsclips]

Ein wirklich sehr hilfreiches Video - hat mir enorm bei der Vorbereitung auf mein Staatsexamen geholfen! :)

+Philipp Langer Prima, freut mich!

Great channel, really.

My dad, a linguist, made the following comment: "You are familiar with the “Greenberg Universals”? Generative grammarians don’t take those seriously - I thought it was interesting how Hilpert wove those into his lecture #7 as universals - but he didn’t mention Greenberg." Can you respond to this?

[@MartinHilpert]

+Edward J Kotynski My PhD advisor, Suzanne Kemmer, studied with Greenberg. Joan Bybee, one of my favourite linguists, was strongly influenced by Greenberg's ideas, too. I guess I should have mentioned his name at some point in the video. ;)

what are the approaches in theorizing linguistics??
