The sentence, "I never said she stole my money" has 7 different meanings depending on which word you emphasize….
Very clearly presented. Two thumbs up.
I understand your explanations clearly, thank you.
thnx
Wow, thanks a lot!
I really enjoyed this video!
A better example of word stress (IMO) is MINute vs MInute. Label of time vs tiny amount, respectively.
I wish I watched this video before my Semantic presentation..
my teacher asked a question…what is the relationship between syntax semantics and pragmatics !! what the answer could be?
So he's basically saying that Semantics has a great impact over the other branches of linguistics that is phonetics, phonology, morphology, etc
Thank you so much for your clip
Thanks so much, and I love this video explanation!
sir ur videos are very helpful for me ,m also a teacher but i never took interest in logic in my college days as i was more interested in others like operating system , java and all now it was my turn to teach this one so it was bit diff for me to make my students more comfortable with this subject and being into this line i believe its my duty to satisfy my students as i feel their carrier is in my hands so i want to adopt thr best possible methods to teach this subject and i learned that from ur video thank u sir and waiting for reply back
with lots of regards
beautifully explained
What a brainiac.
Am i right to say Semantics is what allows lawyere to twist words and allow theists to interprete the bible in the ways they prefer? For example, the claim that God created the world in 6 days. When scientists proved the world existed more than millions of years, a theist can say, oh 6 days should be interpreted as 6000 years and so on so forth.
I look at semantics as a flaw in all languages. languages are vague and ambiguous because it is open to interpretations.
thanks
