Thank you Martin. I really love this subject. I hope you make also advanced ones too. Like syntax as well. Thanks again very much. Unlimited
Thanks Martin for your effort!! Great introduction and I will continue watching your videos on your channel starting now. I wish they had some kind of numbers in the titles though, so we could watch them sequentially as your "course" is obviously intended to be.
have just discovered your videos. better late than never as we say. they are really informative and beneficial. spent whole night watching and taking my notes. my major is translation and i teach translation theory. if please you have any introductory videos in this domain so i can use them for my students. thank you very much.

You know that Jar Jar is the worst thing of the entire Star Wars franchise, right?
Thank you for this very interesting lecture! Thumbs up 🙂
hi, would you like to tell me the scope of linguistics
Hello, I just stumbled upon your videos and they are amazing! Thank you!! I'm going to watch them one by one. Concerning WUG, GUTCH, NIZ, and HEAF, I was wondering how it works in German. If you give me a random German-sounding senseless noun, I wouldn't know the plural form unless it is obvious from the ending (like der …er, die …ung, das …chen, etc.). Would it work effortlessly in the brains of German speakers, even if the word doesn't have a typical ending?
Martin What about Sign language?
thank you for the interesting video on linguistics it is very informative as i am going to be learning about linguisitcs and bsl level4
hello Martin. Thankyou for this very informative video. I am a UK student, doing an EPQ in the history of the English language. please could we possibly talk? I would like to ask you a few questions. my email is phoebealicia100@gmail.com.
My impression is that you are a native English speaker on account of your excellent speaking. However, I notice that your computer language is in French. Additionally, in some of your videos, I get the impression that your pronunciation in many other languages is also very good (though I cannot say for certain since I do not speak those languages). So may I ask you this: what do you consider to be your first language?
Professor I 'm not sure if you answer questions here, but I'm going to give it a try and ask you a question I have been wanting to ask a professional linguistic for a long time: Are things like "Modal Semantics", "Semantic externalism","Reference" and other fancy ideas related to language, developed by philosophers taken seriously in contemporaneity linguistics? Or do linguists brush off these ideas as non-sequitur or even non-sense? are they worth looking into?
lore=knowledge? english lore?
Dr. Martin Hilpert sir , i need one deep help from you, please suggest me a research topic which should support english and linguistics both . Please ….

Too much info on slides. Apart from that, interesting talk.
In part 5 you wrote conseilles instead of conseils. Thank you very much for your courses mr Hilpert!
I like your presentation but could any lay person (non-linguist) disagree with six of the seven assumptions? (the brain bit doesn't seem to have any consequence other than to make linguistics sound 'Sciency'. The rest would be plausible to any 13 year old person in the world? So why study linguistics if we are blind-folded by the partisan approaches and are forced to invest in blind leaps of faith, following one of its branches like a religion or a cult, until we are too old to risk stepping out of the 'flow' . As an English teacher who has to 'dabble' in Applied Linguistics, (i.e. write papers that seem meaningless) just to stay employable, I wonder why? I note that the Polyglots' Conference last year promised, 'no theory' in their conference, such was their disdain for it.
15:14 -> Je vais te donner quelques conseils*.
Anyway that is an awesome series of videos, thank you for summing it all up 🙂
But everyone knows the correct plural of "heaf" is "heaves". 🙂
Thank you for your efforts good chance
