  1. It might help some people to actually classify the domain of Field Linguistics as another major approach: descriptive, phonology sketches, Grammar sketches, lexicography creating scripts,, text analysis etc.

  2. WHich leads me to broach an interest concerning ask what area of linguistics you are focused on? And which languages? (The nexus of Kendo and sociolinguistics? LOL)

  3. That's quite intersting. What is your Source Language and your Receptor Language(s)? Are you staying with one genre, only? And are you Relevance THeory or Meaning Based?

  4. Field Linguistics minority languages. However, my research has been in sociolinguistics (coordinate bilinguals) and now I'm concerned with 'Netlinguistics' in the Posteguillo sense.

  5. While sociolinguistcs might be the surface rep in many ideas, like David Cystal–what I am doing is far more text analysis in the Net linguistics–this is not surface level only. I was looking at in the sociolinguistics code mixing–as opposed to code switching. As far as Translation: how can you go form your L 1 to a L@in World Languages: European Guilds won't allow that.

  6. This is the first video I saw when I searched for "Linguist" using YouTube and I look forward to remembering everything and anything you have to share on Linguistics. I hope you have a video on Pragmatics.

  7. I sure will and I did…I just recently started a marathon on my own to watch all of your recent videos so I can get up to speed with any new content you release. Thanks for reminding the world where knowledge comes from…those who share knowledge are the wise ones. (^_^)

  8. No one's hijacking anything. This person did not invent linguistics. the "istics" suffix refers to the study of, in this case, and "ling" pertains to language, so, linguistically, the word "linguistics" makes sense. Huh. Maybe I should be a linguist.

  9. thank you for your explanation it was very useful actually am an English student and I had a great time watching your explanation thank you once more 😊
