SEMANTICS-7: Utterances, Sentences & Propositions

[@christianlira1259]

Thank you Dr. Nimer Abusalim for putting this series together. This is my first video and I learnt for the first time in +40 years exactly what and how utterances work. The reason I searched utterances is to assist me in Data Science Natural Language. (DSNL) Not only did I learn exactly what I need for DSNL, but also learnt the foundations of written rules. Thank you!

[@earlysunshine5830]

So proud of you and loved the example in Arabic

[@menmadi1050]

Thank you so much. I study in the faculty of arts at the department of english and I have a problem of understanding the linguistic subjects especially pragmatics but the way you teach and give the information is so easy and it helped me in understanding semantics and syntax and so on . ربنا يوفقك ويكتبلك كل الخير ويزيدك من علمه يارب سهلت عليا الدنيا والله من شرح الدكاترة الحفيظة اللي شاطرين في الإلقاء وخلاص 😏

[@TeLarac]

Simple and comprehensible! Great work, thanks!

[@amiramira660]

Excellent video,simple and to the point ,clear and perfectly explained ,you indeed deserve to be called a doctor

[@purpleplatooner]

Thank you so much,Sir.Really helpful.I was confused about these concepts but now I'm clear about them.

[@jiasu2768]

You helped me a lot. Thank you, Dr. Nimer!

Thanks you so much. I were struggling in Sematics course before seeing this great video❤

[@Ahmad-mn1wm]

Better than my university poor professor, thanks a bunch

[@maryamafnan3975]

Thanks

Thanks Dr, a great content for understanding SEMANTICS SEO

[@alanoudfahd3921]

the best one , thank you I can now understand clearly this chapter.

[@duskydakotavlog]

Clear information about the topic, thank you Dr!

[@syubidubidu3193]

Tq Dr! I have semantic quiz tomorrow 💃

[@maryam8456]

Thanks a lot you explain way much better than my Doctor at college

[@samiabdulrahman1566]

The explanation was really great. Thanks a lot.

[@solinhassan2266]

Such a perfect explanation 👌thanks

[@MrEmBerna]

Some teachers of linguistics should watch this video. This is the first time I see a motivated distinction between utterance, sentence and proposition (moreover, the specific notion of _clause_ fits well within this picture). An interesting and problematic issue arises from this explanation, though: can we quietly assume that we can find an universal predicate EAT which fits for every language in the world in the same way? شكرا جزِيلا يا مءلمي

[@mislolo8188]

مااعرف اذا عربي او لا لكن شكرا من كل اعماق قلبي اكثر فيديوا شرح من غير لخبطة ووصل المعلومة شكرا جزيلا

You are most intelligent teacher really

[@AsmaaPurity]

You're the best Please would you make a course for PRAGMATICS

[@kshitijsrivastava6148]

😍very nice. Thank You So Much!!

[@weenajenner3193]

thank you. iwatch this and subs this chanel in sept 2020

[@Shoutenkou]

Well that solved my problem. lmao Thank you!

[@amiramira660]

Does the proposition always take this form The action( doer object) But it is said that proposition is a declarative sentence

[@logangomez4475]

I would like to learn more about reasoning and decision making. How can we consider the conditional rule: "If I study hard, then I will do well on my final assignment."

[@blessingsmwizabi3089]

Great work, made easy for quick understanding.

[@gemavianeybecerrilescamill6313]

Amazing video :')

[@lolitasosa1196]

Um, er, or , yes , no, Vrom, vrom in a child’s vocabulary of 35 month, these expressions can be considered utterances ?

[@MohamedAli-rd7rn]

Thank you!

[@majd74]

Thank you

[@tumenhthieu6786]

Sir, can you explain about the Predicator and Predicate? Pls

[@sumartomare4323]

Predicator is subject Predicate is a verb Read Language metafunction

[@obadahtrad7248]

Is there any distinction between facts and propositions or are they the same in one aspect which is when propositions are true ?

[@AalaaAlomran]

انصدمت لما حكيت عربي

[@sabaibrahimabdulla7034]

thank you so much it wasssss greaaattttt

[@amiramira660]

Please i need clarification

[@user-mh7bp6ly7u]

Dr. Nimer I have a question about the verb in a propositional sentences. For example if we have 2 sentences: 1) Mary read the book 2) The book was read by Mary we agreed that these two sentences have the same proposition because of the relative meaning that these sentences tend to convey, but what about the verb here? read and was read ? can you explain more for us please! Thank you

[@rehab7907]

wadha al-marri hi proposition is the term for a kind of core sentence meaning , abstract idea that remains the same , not tied to particular words or sentences, so “ sharks hunt seals“ or “ seals are hunt by sharks” or “ seals are prey to sharks “ or “ These chase and kill these other “ point to tv 📺. All these sentences carry the same meaning that is proposition

[@user-mh7bp6ly7u]

Thank you for clarifying. At first I was struggling with the propositional term because it is an abstract concept, but I realized that I wanted to understand the sense relation between the 2 sentences and how can the function of a verb dose affect the meaning in the sentence for instance, 1) The cat chased the rat & 2) The cat was chased by the rat.

[@msk9414]

Given we have a proposition, when a sentence needs to be derived back from proposition then how does it know the tense (e.g eat vs ate) ?

[@merel3699]

In proposition logic grammar is not of any importance. Proposition logic is mainly used to analyze the meaning of sentences, so then grammar wouldn't really be looked at. For the example of translators he gave, I think they would just have to look at the original sentence or use another kind of analysis system, because proposition logic doesn't deal with that.

[@georgechristoforou991]

They would have to use non-monotonic logic that would take into account time

[@joseribeirodombo7761]

Thanks a lot❤️❤️❤️😍

[@faizaqanbar6954]

Excellent

[@Ali-hu5ev]

I should've watched this before began to study semantics

[@mrmaniyt4069]

Amazing

[@user-lx2ll8qg8h]

Thanks alot 🌹🌹🌹

[@Ben-ut1xb]

How do you like them apples?

[@imadal-nazal8671]

Dear Dr. Thank you so much for this valuable lecture U mentioned that an utterance is non grammatical mentioning the example I ate the apple Is this ungrammatical form ? There subject, verb and object Regards

[@khadijaelkhalfi462]

That's exactly what im looking for. I think one of these principles is enough for an utterance. Not necessary to be all of them included. I dont know.

[@Princess-ry1xn]

​@@khadijaelkhalfi462 Utterance can be grammatical and non grammatical not necessarily be non grammatical

[@israahadi7314]

Thanx a lot

[@Hayathayat-ur2lf]

Thank you sir

[@honeybee7435]

Level of abstraction is this the level of semantic analysis?

[@tehreemfatima1603]

Thankyou Sir

[@vanhuynh795]

thank you teacher

[@opotoyem9942]

So, if the the sentece is " all bachelors are unmarried man", then proposition's format is ARE ( all bachelors, unmarried man) ?

[@infinitafenix3153]

Cannot an utterance be also written?

[@DrNimerAbusalim]

+Infinita Fenix Language is essentially spoken. Writing is just a convention we made up for convenience sake. Also, given that an utterance is a physical event fixed to a certain time, place, situation, and speaker, then no; only the spoken aspect is an utterance. Again, I could utter 'John ate a biscuit' two times and there would be two utterances, but notice that I only had to WRITE it once. So there is a clear distinction between spoken and written communication. Language exists as speech which is merely recorded in writing, but it doesn't have to be.

[@gbh4352]

Can I ask you about two different meaning but same sentences? A lion kills tom 2- tom kills a lion . What the meaning of two sentences?

[@user-mf2hp6tx4c]

السلام عليكم دكتورنا اريد اطرح أسئلة تخص semantics ممكن موقع الفيس

[@jaferchenoliv4347]

Very nice class

[@unclejack1513]

I have this question. Do these 2 sentences have the same meaning? "He cooked the meal" and "He had the meal cooked" Thanks everyone.

[@alfressacabotiro2973]

yes, both sentences share the same meaning. though the construction was different. the subject is " He" which is referring to a boy or a man, then the object is the meal.

[@natnatnatting]

it was all going smoothly until you got into the idea of Proposition, I got a bit confused; can someone explain it to me?

[@merel3699]

Hi, this is probably a bit late for you but I'll answer it anyway just in case somebody else was wondering. A proposition is basically the message independent of form. Two sentences are only the same if they are exactly alike in form, while two different sentences could still have the same proposition. The most important thing for a sentence is the form, while for propositions we don't care about form at all: what matters is the meaning. Hope this helps :)

[@goodlkarivm6546]

@@merel3699 so, proposition is only a concept. to give us the right meaning of a sentence.
