Syntax (Part 1)

A brief overview of lexical categories, phrase structure rules, and syntactic tree structures.

[@ozimaani]

So basic Syntax can be this easy to understand? My lecturer owes me an apology for causing me to panic everytime I hear the word Syntax. Thank you so much for this.

[@judithchinemerem3490]

You just said it all,I'm in that shoe now.

[@normanpearson8753]

Syntax proper is 10 times easier than this retarded nonsense .

[@emilietakahashi7136]

You’re so much better than my university professor 😭😭

[@ismailechfar3032]

[@ptrangelia]

[@user-bg5ju3xz9n]

[@Letsaysibyl]

That's what I want to say

[@elenasampelo2026]

I can't understand why there are 62 dislikes when in fact you are so much better than many professors in college/university. Hope you will continue this free high quality tutorial. It is a huge help for students like me. God bless you more . ❤️

[@angelic6120]

The dislikes came from other professors they’re jealous :)

[@satriamandala6180]

his pronunciation is so clear

[@user-ow3qt5dc8y]

Can't thank you enough! My professor is good, but I fully understood this lecture of yours instantly. I felt brighter after just 9 minutes. You are saving my finals!!! :)

[@myknittingblog]

Finally someone who doesn't make it MORE complicated!!! Thank you so much!

[@nadinehanson1354]

O my God. I am telling you. I though I was the only one having issues with the teaching being more complicated. It is like tying up ones brain. This is refreshing.

[@GAMERLUNCH]

Wow! I studied English for 12 years, but I think I learnt more in half an hour of these lessons😁. Thank you Evan.

[@JessicaMartinezSosa2622]

I use your materials, your methods and your simplicity in my phonetics and phonology of the English Language, professor. I would looooove to attend to one of your classes or anything related to languages that you could give in a lecture. Greetings from Argentina.

[@murifedontrun1244]

[@bigoldpp9542]

More than half of the information out there feels like it's made intentionally complex so the teacher can gatekeep idiots like me from understanding it. Thank you for being the outlier, and explaining things like we are people, instead of machines programed to instantly understand everything thrown at us.

[@gstkrr8]

YOU SHOULD BE THE WHOLE WORLD TEACHER. KEEP GOING! YOU HAVE MY LIKE, MY SUBSCRIPTION AND I WILL SHARE THIS TO EVERYBODY I KNOW, 'CAUSE IT IS SO USEFUL.

[@normanpearson8753]

[@Noella_Rouge]

Can't believe I've never learned this in 12 years of schooling in Canada

[@globalgyaan1864]

Lol

[@globalgyaan1864]

Hey

[@ciobalina7445]

This is a university course, not a middle school or highschool class. There was actually no reason for you to learn this in school.

[@ciobalina7445]

phil osophical I doubt this has anything to do with the elites; it’s not like their children learn this in private schools; I did this at university and it’s just something theoretical that has almost no application in real life. Of course, learning grammar is important, but not this kind of course. Not to mention that you already need to know basic grammar to understand this. If you want to be part of the elites, you should focus on money making and money management. Librarities are almost free.

[@ciobalina7445]

@Marian Aabwi I am not sure what country you are in, but you learn morphology (nouns, verbs etc.), you do not learn Generative Grammar/syntax in the form of “phrases” (A phrase on GG is a construction where you have a head and complements, such as “eat apples”, which is a VP). You do not learn this in high school neither in a native English speaking country, nor for ESL for sure as this is college level material. What he did in the first part was a revision of middle school and high school level material which is usually not done in college anymore and because of this students have a hard time understanding the material. So yes, you do the first part, but the actual syntax part you don’t. You probably didn’t even understand what he was explaining very well as he didn’t provide an explanation. This is an extremely short/easy introduction to Generative Transformational Theory and X-bar theory. In the following videos he will start doing the actual material, which is tree diagrams. This was just a revision of school knowledge.

[@squeezedce6115]

Great interpretation.. thank you 👏👏😍😍 you've got the knack.

I don't know how to thank you. I have always hated learning these "parts of speech" mainly because I couldn't get them into my head. Although i have had very good teachers explaining these to me, they still couldn't make me understand these, but after watching your video i finally know what they mean 😭❤

[@vick-cphonics1783]
