Would you like a Part 2 of this video with cognitive approaches to grammar? Please, share the video if it was helpful for you :-)

[@Teacher2827]

Yes

Clear. A superb professor. Much better than the linguistics professor I had at an American university. I will share the videos with my students.

From the Chomsky's view, Transformational Grammar did not said that the meanings of word was not affected by the its context and each word had only one meaning. He explained that if you want to apply the semantic to build a grammar for the language L that was so difficult to build a systematic grammar, because we will have so many variants to understand a word. Therefore, you could not find a deep structure of sentences and the its grammar was not built in structure way. That's why you must need both phrase structure and transformational structure to understand a sentence. Transformational grammar was a way to understand in many other ways. Chomsky has told about it so clearly in his LNST's thesis.

Thanks a bunch for your sincere explanation, it was really effective... I'm TEFL student and really enthusiastic to know more about cognitive linguistics now.

Great Video, have an exam tomorrow helps me summerize and recollect the key concepts!

[@tazeemkhan3502]

I gave a presentation on Lakoff and did talk about his theory of metaphors a few days ago.

[@marounrizk]

We would like a video on the cognitive approaches to grammar in general :) Thank you so much for these videos they are very insightful.

[@MadinaYusufova-qk5sx]

Can we name the cognitive linguistic as the cognolinguistic or does the "cognolinguistic" term mean different term

[@ancientsoul2972]

And what is the difference between cognitive linguistics and pragmatics?

[@caoeason9102]

It is hot in here This sentence is incorrect It is hot here. this is correct

[@hamzaabd3251]

May you help?

[@gcdrt6dyufiy]

i think you misunderstand generative grammar. reference instead refers to a mental item. chosmky is a realist about mind, meaning mind is a kind of "substance" that is the source of reference. it is not just nerves firing at each other. words themselves do not map onto context as in "real things out there" but refer to conventions and concepts in the mind. lakoff is an attack on chomsky, but has done little to disprove or invalidate chomsky's mental-oriented approach.

[@amanim4104]

So can we consider generative grammar within Cognitive Linguistics?

[@Deepaksingh-sd9qy]

The whole western philosophy and theories are a mess.
