I'm too dumb for linguistics. Why did I choose it? Edit: Guys I got an A in it. Y'all can do it too! 💪

It may feel a little bit dry, but it's the toolkit that will allow you to dive into much more fascinating topics!

Phonetics is like C++ /machine code in its low-level nature in its and Phonology is like Python in its lovely abstraction

[@daviskipchirchir1357]

Forgive me, I see patterns in a lot of languaegs and ideas

[@spongedev]

Very interesting David! I don't know much about programming languages though. I will read up!

[@nathaliemaria510]

This was really helpful. I am taking Linguistics at College and your drawings made it so much easier to understand. Thanks!

What ur course?

[@Reem_792]

Bro, get back to posting for the love of God. I just found you. I’m a linguistics major and you’re 4min video helped me more than my whole lecture did PLEASSSSEEE

[@jonaswagner4310]

Glad to hear you find them helpful! The last few years have been stressful (I am currently a lecturer in English linguistics, working on my PhD), but it's still always in the back of my head. The animation consumes crazy amounts of time though.

[@cyn0584]

It's a shame that you do not have more videos, they are great.

[@jonaswagner4310]

Thank you so much! I'm just finishing up my MA, I hope that I'll be able to continue with the videos soon. Animation is just extremely time consuming.

[@amrutagodase8797]

Seriously! Would have loved to watch all your informative videos, made so much interesting!

[@bhanuguna3815]

Timely & simple to grasp , Sir ! Will be a great help to someone who may not know where to start acquiring this important skill to speak. Look forward to more of these .

You're giving such Alain de Botton vibes and I like it! This was super short, yet informative to watch (and very soothing to listen to)!

This is such a good video! I'm doing my MA, and this helped a ton for my LING 531. I really hope you continue making them.

[@alejandromarcanoperez2329]

thankn you for your supporting ideas.

[@fatima5524]

*It was helpful thanks a lot* Sir, can we say that phonetics is a practical part because it deals with how we pronounce letters while phonology is a theoretical part?

[@jonaswagner4310]

Yes and no. There is definitely "practical" phonology. Think of the different ways English speakers around the world pronounce words. For example (as in the video), the /t/ sound in "butter" is pronounced differently in England and the United States. Phonologists can use this (and other examples) to tell where someone is from, for example. Phonologists just also say that they represent the same "idea" of a sound (because you still know that the word "butter" is the same, even though it sounds slightly different). How that idea is realised can vary.

[@fatima5524]

Excellent sir But why you stop making videos Please make more videos sir

[@jonaswagner4310]

Thank you very much! I do have two other videos up. Unfortunately, I got hung up on the next one (on consonants), and then I had to finish a degree, start a new one... I simply didn't have time. But I'm hoping to make a few more starting in April!

[@anc7029]

i still dont get itttt ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@jonaswagner4310]

Maybe an analogy might be helpful. Imagine the difference between someone reading a novel and someone judging someone’s handwriting. If you read a novel, you’re interested in the story. You want to know what happened, or what will happen next. If it’s a crime novel, you want to know who committed the crime, and how they will be caught. In a fantasy novel you’ll be fascinated by the world, the dragons, the story, and so on. You can enjoy the style of the author - how they construct their sentences, how they structure their stories, and so on. But the font and the typing won’t matter very much to you. In the end, it’s the same novel. But if you’re a primary school teacher, you sometimes may have to check a student’s handwriting. They will write stories, and you’ll read them, but you will also check if they spelled everything right, and if all the letters are well crafted. You will look at very small details, but you will probably not focus on some very large structures - after all, your students are not novelists. It is similar in phonetics and phonology. A phonetician will look at extremely small details. The EXACT position of the tongue, exactly how long the air is held before a plosive is released, and many more very small things. Phonologists are more interested in structures. They don’t care that the t-sound in “butter” sounds different in American English and British English, because both will still know that they’re talking about “butter”. Just like if you read a novel, you won’t care very much whether it is written in Arial or Times New Roman - the words are the same. They just look a bit different. Of course, phonetics and phonology work together. To find out whether something is actually relevant to the structure of a language, you need to measure it precisely. But the overall difference is what I tried to outline above. I hope I could maybe help you a bit! Don’t hesitate to approach your tutors and professors with these questions, most of them will be happy to help you. And remember, if you have a question, chances are that someone else has the same question as well.

[@mgxbreu]

Please make more videos like this! T_T

[@jonaswagner4310]

I really tried - it just takes so much time to do the animation. When I started out, I was a mostly jobless student, so that wasn't an issue, but that has changed now

[@iffatjahansuchona3199]

[@jonaswagner4310]

Thank you very much! May I ask how you found this video? I think that they're sometimes linked in university classes, which would be wonderful.

[@iffatjahansuchona3199]

I was specifically looking for "the difference between phonetics and phonology" and suddenly this video showed up. Clicked right away! I'm so glad I found it, you made the concept crystal clear.

Hi, thanks for asking! There's no issues at all. Many colleges seem to use this for their e learning platforms, and I'm more than happy about that. Just out if curiosity, would you mind telling me where you teach? If not, that's fine as well - happy learning either way!
