SYN109 - Phrase Structure I

Sentences can be analyzed into hierarchies of constituents. This E-lecture introduces the historical development of phrase structure systems from 1957 until today.

[@dychui]

most concise explanation of phase structure I have ever received, 4 years in grad school linguistics. Thanks!

[@muhammedsaleem7219]

Sir you are explaining well but speak english simple thank you.

[@isidorajaksicperovic5250]

Thank you a lot for your great lessons! All years of studying became clear now. Your method of teaching is great - visual method with good examples and everything is clear and understandable. Thank you a lot. There are many books which I tried to read but full of different terms which I couldn't understand. But listening your lesson showed me this in interesting and easy way. Once more, thank you! :)

This video just saved me a rewrite, it just brought to bare all the myth around Syntax.... I am smiling now knowing i am just going to write the exams once... Thanks so much Sir !!

[@AcheampongSamuelOwoahene]

This was a very insightful lecture.

[@marialuisalizarraga]

Awesome teacher. Thanks for the video!!

[@gabo6713]

Your e-lectures are great and very helpful for linguistis! You are far more clearer than my teachers! Thank you!

Great! Thank you so much, Professor!

7:30 the addition of P' was of deep interest in the X bar theory. If we consider the Prep phrase as an adjunct, we must have the element P' as X' turns into X' --adjunct of a either a verbal or adjectival form. Whoever came up with this, my respect.

[@ayshaali3190]

You're really a great teacher.. Thanks a lot sir

[@kaoday4200]

Many thanks for sharing greatest lesson

[@civsation]

Thank you! I am studying for an upcoming exam and these videos are quite helpful.

[@esseddikazmi3522]

thank you! it was lucid enough for me to understand how the syntactic structures of sentences has developed through time.

[@Chhoychanra99]

wonderful bro

[@sssalsera]

Vielen Dank!! Awesome teacher!!

[@martitalop1]

excelente presentación, gracias por subirla y compartirla

[@masseatalib2251]

thank Dr for given me some insight about how to analyze sentence using tree diagram technique

[@Rosa-jg9yf]

After watching this video, I guess the way I analyze sentences is old but simple to me.

[@krasssertyp]

It really helped me to prepare my midterm test and you do a lot better than these bunch of fools called "academic tutors" on my college - full of expert knowledge but no clue how to explain it to us. GJob!

[@MouridEnglish]

Really Interesting. Thank You So Much.

[@dimitardachkinov2271]

Thanks for the video :)

[@xianyu101]

Through this lecture, It seems that I could see my time in studying Syntax go over again, from undergraduate to phD……

[@mebeasensei]

Thanks. I have a small peeve, however. Why do syntax or grammar lectures that speak to only one version of grammar - in this case Chomskian grammar - assume to be general or universal? I thought I would get a history of grammar but only got Chomsky?

[@Muhammed_A-Hussein-DR]

I download most your lectures

[@Temujin216]

Este tema es muy interesante, gracias por su buena pronunciación.

[@banharnwitayarut7105]

Help please, I don't understand why DP of V' not to the one or two rules states that X' generates X'

[@Chhoychanra99]

wow i like it

[@viktorlai5171]

banger video my lad

[@silvr94]

Absolutely fantastic! Thanks a lot! I have two questions: 1) At around 09:20, do you mean complement instead of specifier for simple phrases? Isn't a complement the sister of a head and a specifier sister of an x̅? 2) Will there be a lecture on X-Bar-Syntax on KZbin? Thank you!

[@orveasna]

Thanks it's really useful.

[@FedwaEz]

Thanks it's really helpful

[@cedricyongcheolchang719]

Thanks a lot!

[@user-xi6gm4dk2y]

I have long preceived the only theory on tree diagram of syntax is X-bar before I was under this professor's tutelage.

[@fenoii]

thank you so much ^^

Hello, I received a proposal for a course that ensures fluency in six months. I really need to learn English (conversation) and the proposal is good, but it's too high, I can not afford. The course has good feedback, so I think to be honest. Submissions are to be taught explicit "5 logical structures" (to form phrases), vocabulary, exercises to apply logic structures and conversation with a native speaker. My question is, what should these 5 logical structures? Is there any method to teach English to adults based on logic?

[@bonbonpony]

Step 1: When speaking English, think in English, not in your native language.

[@rossnoltag3425]

Great lecture! i wounder is the actualy a class there.

[@oer-vlc]

Thanks for your "like". On the Virtual Linguistics Campus (free registration), you can find 6 free open online courses, the so-called pMOOCs.

The best way to learn grammar. Since the schools are all jacked, mostly you need a good parent. Find a female that goes to church or male. Language writing is also developed by how we speak and who we speak to. Online chatting or forum chatting changes how we write. My advice, find great literature pieces written well, not these hate speech books of late. Clarity is to the eye of the beholder that being the problem of teachers in the teaching department in that way we actually dumb down society. World is getting more intelligent in a different way. Its like a squeeze on society destroying other things. Buy a grammar work book from a college, that have extras, 20 -30 dollars work through it. Just practice writing properly over and over and over and over. Practice the tenses and all that over and over. Buy well written kids books and then go through them. (there shorter) Identify the subject, verb phrase and the nine parts of the language. It would be nice if there was a program that would make a game of that. In recognizing the 9 elements one then can better identify their problem like a math equation since the language really has less heart now. People are removing the heart of society for some squishy... orgy fest of flesh it seems. Because of foreign control they put a whip to the language but in reality, learning English in the layman world is very local. has its own nuisances. To me the builders are more important then wordsmiths and those that still from people through and b the use of words. That is called stealing. An example is 1mill for the ferry employee per/year. Versus 40-100k for a trades person per/year. That persons position is not even worth that much and I am sure any donkey could do it. Thus that position is better towards 80k even though that is high. Short term gains is destroying the public purse by thieves. The position of a well suited person could take 60 k a year for 10 -15 years and do wonderful job. Then we have 14 million saved and also gain of taxation back. that money can be pumped into infrastructure. language has a huge impact in corrupt politics. Robbing of the public purse is sad. Since 14 mill can advanced Canadians a lot faster. Instead, its actually murdering its citizens off slowly. Mishandling of education. No investment terrible immigration policies. Seriously people need to stay in their own countries and deal with their own place. Sedentary. That way they can defend their political voice. Running around and dancing for money is destroying the planet for an apparent better life. One thing I despise is a slave or lacky that does anything for money but has no quality behind their work. In that pretense, the government has gone wild. These individuals and families should in part have their assets liquidated from their families. Apparently be dishonorable is the new thing. There was a time one wrong crossed t, you would be stripped and seized of all things, in a manner of speaking. Law was a serious thing to keep just. For justice for some things I have read, indicates that stability is only ever from active participation in politics and constantly enforcing honest ideals and transparency because they are employed and empowered by the people in a parliament. They need to have their boots shaken sometimes of who really is the boss. At the moment Israel and the UN have huge sway over every country, this is no good for anyone. If you don't play either game they seem to dictate their demands to any nation. I am not entirely sure... Where the world is going , but I don't like my freedom being pushed around. I may have ranted and digressed from language, but... its important, but just remember language in truth is very open and creative. Acdemic writing is I AM A ROBOT. THIS IS MY JOURNAL. I HAVE NO THOUGHTS. THE SOURCES INDICATE FAILURE. AN EXAMPLE IS MY ROBOT SPEECH. THE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT SOURCES OF ACADEMIC CREDIBILITY ARE A SHELL GAME OF TIMES WITH NO EVIDENCE. IN MEANING THEY HAVE LOOP RESEARCH DOCUEMENTS WITH NO ACTUAL PLACE TO "PIN THAT TAIL ON THE DONKEY," WHEN TRACKING DOWN THE INFORMATION. IT IS IN MY BELIEF THROUGH THIS INVVESTIGATION WE LIVE IN SAD TIMES. STATUS QUOES. IF YOU BEHAVE LIKE AN IDIOT AND MAKE GENTALIA JOKES YOU CAN GET PAID MILLIONS. SIGH... IN A CAPTIAL REGIEME THIS INFLUENCES SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR AND MANY OTHER FACETS OF SOCIETY, COLLASPING THE FAMILY UNIT. THE HEART DIES... lol - honesty - become a builder - stay away from the shell and language games, it may make them rich but only by exploitation. Funny that the lowest should be the highest in meaning for builders and farmers, since it is them who feed the nations and build the homes. next is the exchange between those making tools. Who knows. I suppose its not that bad. I expect constantly better refinement... I don't like going backwards and that is what it feels, the lowering of the standard of living by far.

Had to bust a gut when he introduced Ray Jackendoff @ 4:50.

[@dimitardachkinov2271]

I thought they are trying to simplify it throughout the years tho

[@CarolPrice4p]

Subjunctive. (c;

[@orveasna]

i would like to became a writing skill but i'm poor in grammar usage who guys show me the best way.

[@mohammeda.5488]

What is the difference between a "spec" and a "specifier"? I am not sure why you named the complement label a "specifier" in today's system?

[@ayshaali3190]

Difficult 😒

[@TheMaths4u]

add more

[@TheLuminousCleric]

It's like doing math...

Fucking complex stuff, I'd rather stick to Halliday's SFL.
