Seven Ways of Looking at Grammar | The New School

[@mukov]

the talk starts at 9:13

[@1Thersites]

I came to the language part of youtube´s education page to watch a lecture on English grammar. This lecture did not teach me any "useful" grammatical rules, but it was (unlike learning grammatical rules) entertaining. I even decided to start taking notes a few minutes in.. Thank you for this lecture.

[@loveseries100]

He sounds a New Zealander to me from his accent even though I never knew him before.I kinda like it seeing him talking about academic subjects but still very enjoyable.Thank you.

[@Benjamin-lv5fm]

I like the way he laughs. so revitalizing.

[@TheRosangela1987]

Thank you all for this great conference!

[@sambouajram9809]

this video is amazing so many people are like "your so weird for liking grammer so i get so excited to see others people with my same viewpoint.

[@MrPjrdietl]

Scott is a global teacher to teachers of English...

[@halixiaohua]

SCOTT IS MY ROCK STAR!!!!!

[@meriamaz46]

just what I needed:, a fresh look at grammar. I love it thank you very much.

[@thenewschool]

You can say, "I am sorry for being late." or "I apologize for being late" which is a slightly more formal way. The contraption "I'm" is for "I am", so use it sparingly. Cheers!

[@millier9658]

How amazing is He?

[@sannettie]

Excellent lecturer and dynamic lecturer!

[@animasuzie]

Grammar as pattern seeking. Love it.

"The grammar business is a cruel and shallow structure trench, a long plastic hallway where rules and irregularities run free and good teachers and students die like dogs. There's also a negative side.” My adaptation of a Hunter S. Thompson quote. ;)

[@tashmina4412]

Thank you!

[@jorgemariolargoguarin5805]

Thanks a lot to The New School and particularly to Mr. Thornbury, his insights about teaching are a relief to my wandering mind as an EFL teacher at technical institution in Colombia (South America). Before Mr. Thornbury, my professional Guru was Frank McCourt´s "Teacher, man". And overall I think Im doing the right thing. But I still cant find the way to tackle the lack of (sometimes zero) motivation of my students to learn English. It is a burden for them. I would be very thankful if anybody can suggest any videos or websites to work on that.

[@dadalus]

a very nice presentation, thank you very much for sharing.

[@soniamariahernandezbernal130]

Great video on Grammar, it provides useful insights on the topic.

[@EscortsSociety]

I didn't realize there could be such long discussions on grammar.

[@Thewildflower789]

The intro ends at 11:00

[@zaherelfeky8935]

thanks a lot for teaching us and for opening our minds...

[@vanessasantos7062]

I liked very much. Thank you for downloading it!

[@mofless100]

Good morning, Is it possible to put subtitles, so that the people, around the world, who are listening to you, who we are not of English language, we can profite, understand and to take advantage better of your magnificent conferences? Thanks, in advance. Amalia

[@boukhentacheslimane5692]

Introductory talk is so lengthy; anyway thanks for sharing. Scott is always great

[@saxoman1]

That was excellent!

[@HebaruSan]

Intros finish at 5:45.

[@luizantoniodossantos770]

A very nice and educational video.

[@anie22x]

U might be interested in knowing that tree diagrams are in fact very much used in high schools/ secondary education in Spain at least, when we study Spanish

[@welvertangunan9594]

Language Grammar is the way how we significantly consolidate, validate, integrate, and apply culturally and internationally the lines of distinct connection. It is fundamental in order to communicate our thoughts, ideas, and expressions in the way that we are better understood and mutually relate to others as the highest intellectual creation of God the Master Linguist of the universe.

excited to be here! :) 29.03.18 1256am London, UK

[@condemned75]

Excellent lecture! Thank you!

[@_digital_dan]

Thank you very much for this useful material! But the sound disappeared sometimes and why not to show slides as images and film only a speaker?

[@dgrcap]

Can i have the details of the book "English by structure" mentioned at 20.35

[@KellyOKellyComedy]

haha unfortunately those tree diagrams radiated to my professor in California :) I did not understand how to construct them and she didn't seem to know how to teach them very well. Note: I was an Italian major, not a linguistics/math major so honestly my brain does not work this way. This speaker is both interesting and humorous. Delightful talk.

[@sabinonogalesfernandez679]

qué super es conocer y navegar son una sola Learning more, thanks my teacher

[@t2shamkp]

the stuff is in the last 6 mins guys

[@lukeslc-xd8ds]

Always searching for knowledge and never arriving at the truth.

[@darylanderson27]

So what exactly are the 7 ways to look at grammar, again?

[@dannynorton601]

1. Grammar as rules 2. Grammar as structures 3. Grammar as mathematics 4. Grammar as algorithms 5. Grammar as texture 6. Grammar as collocation 7. Grammar as an emerging phenomena

Scott is a clown not a scholar.

[@fatihaslan6167]

I Thank you for your answer but I wanted to know if : " I'm sorry to be late" was correct. Some friends of mine say that but I think it's not correct, am I right? We have to say : I'm sorry for being late or I apologize for being late or I'm sorry, I'm late BUT IN ANY CASE : I'm sorry to be late Thanks again in advance for your answer. Best regards,

[@aldoxyzable]

Good afternoon,,THE My name is Aldo,Why do people that either know or don't know a language wouldn't learn grammar?

[@user-su2df5lj4o]

This is good thanks

[@migueld1az]

@Juvenal4668 ooh thank u for the info , it's really difficult to me to understand, i'm studying english , but american english and I almost never listen to British and the accent is different.

[@dannynorton601]

he's from new zealand

[@Mayameeify]

Can someone please tell me where the woman from 0:00 to 5:54 was probably born? I'm not a native so it's hard for me to spot the accent.

[@theyangist]

Epistemic claims are claims to knowledge, not to probability.

[@tom_123]

I’ve noticed others in this field using epistemology/epistemic in reference to probability. It’s odd but he’s referring to epistemic modality (I think) rather than study of nature of knowledge. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemic_modality

[@JagHoff7787]

I just can't believe how impatient people are nowadays...it's sad

[@tplez1659]

"a teacher's teacher" indeed

[@fabsisters1]

[@MsGuast]

THAT'S GOOD ENGLISH

[@halixiaohua]

lets not let the linguistics theories disturb our teaching..

[@seanormiston9405]

If you know what "jelly roll" refers to in the 1919 jazz song, say "aye."

me no entender english britanico... confiucha

[@ExperienceCounts2]

I'd love to watch the New School videos but these ridiculous 10-15 minute introductions show complete disrespect for my time. Apparently others feel the same way since the top-rated comment is invariably the time the actual lecture starts. With the name "New School" you'd think they'd give a 30 second intro, put a link to their bio and website on the page/video and let the quality of the lecture drive people to their website. For "New School" they sure waste time on "Old School" presentations.

[@q123321vgg]

He sounded more like an entertainer than a typical professor.*

[@odraudeam]

It's funny , because when he speaks clearly the transcription is just the same, but take a look on the transcription and see what happens....think about to improve your speaking process.

[@asteroceras]

He stops mumbling about 13.38

[@gpablo14degmail]

and when he start talking about 7 ways of looking at Grammar?? :/

Not 'contraption' but ' contraction'. Please pay more attention to your spelling.
