PHY103 - Distinctive Features I

[@coffeeoverdose4047]

I was trying to grasp these concepts for more than five hours. Thank you !! You're a life saver

[@oer-vlc]

You are absolutely right. I added the annotation at 6:56 that Jakobson was a Russian. I am really grateful for corrections of this kind. This improves the quality of our videos enormously.

Trubetzkoy and Jakobson -> it was Soviet Union back then, so the flag is also not accurate

This is definitely the best KZbin Channel! Thank you for this treasure!

[@LaithSalim]

this explanation was so detailed and interesting thank you !

[@avidreader100]

I was watching the phonology playlist in the order in which videos were arranged or played naturally in youtube. I found the 7th video PHY103 referred to the 6th Video PHY104 as the second of a two part explanation. I had seen such sequence related confusion in some other play lists also. Kindly confirm if these do not matter, or have been arranged in a specific order for any reason.

Thanks alot, I wanna ask you this question, can distinctive features theory be applied to syntax? Or other fields of linguistics?? Or only in phonology and phonetics, please I need an answer, if yes, tell me how,?

Thank you so much for thise video.

[@avidreader100]

Are diffuse and compact complementary? That is to say, is +diffuse equivalent to -compact and +compact equivalent to -diffuse ?

[@hassankareem731]

[@berkiuao]

[@habibasemmeg2233]

many thanks!

[@meandorphanstv7372]

thanks sir but i have a question apart, there's difference between sound patterns in languages and distinctive features in languages?

[@AdamOu01]

First :) Thanks Sir, your videos are very useful

[@soufianesfn]

I have been watching your lectures lately and i want to thank you Sir for the immense effort to impart your knoledge with students like myself. i have question if you do not mind, and that is : in Chomsky's SPE System of Distinctive Features the feature [anterior] is mentioned when ''the main obstruction of the airstream is at a point no farther back in the mouth than the alveolar ridge'' p.44; and he adds ''Labials, dentals[...] are anterior'' p.44. and you professor has given /p/ the feature [-anterior] even if it is Labial. in addition, i have come thrrough some texts arguing that ' Anterior segments are articulated with the tip or blade of the tongue at or in front of the alveolar ridge' . i am a bit confused whether labials are anteriors (as quoted from Chomsky) or they are not. thank you in advance Sir for your time :)

[@DocumGaia]

Hello and thank you for this lesson. Can I ask you something? Well, I read that the feature anterior designates all those sounds produced with the front part of the mouth: lips, teeth and alveolar ridges. So /p/ would be +anterior -coronal. Now I am confused! Could you clarify that to me, please?

[@hajarhoumady5701]

I was just about to say the same thing when i saw your comment yes you are right because it's articulated at the level of the lips

[@jacobthaisen8640]

Thank you for this very nice lecture. However, permit me one small correction: Roman Jakobson was a Russian.

[@mrkalla9465]

thank you

[@niveennammar9264]

Thanks a lot!!!!!

[@Linguistics1977]

Roman Jacobson is a Russian - American linguist

[@BlaherTiger]

But [c] isn't articulated with the blade of the tongue... TBH, Chomsky's theory is really incoherent and overrated. There are ways simpler than that.
