VERY INTERESTING CONTENT
How does one study linguistics on their own?
Thank you for providing this video. There are 4 Events. The four events consist of Fixation Cross event, StimList1 event, StimList2 event, and Answer phase event. There are two trials: Trial1 consists of Fixation Cross, StimList1, Answer phase, and Trial2 consists of Fixation Cross, StimList2, Answer phase. I understand how to display Trial1 and Trial2 randomly. Next, I don't know how to randomize the text in the StimList among the three Events in Trial. Please teach me it.
I'm watching these videos to prepare for my English exam and I found them very useful. These contents are sooo valuable, thank you for all the information you shared with us. I'd like to have a teacher like you in my university!
Excuse me, Mr. Hilpert. I do not go as far as challenging your statement concerning relevancy of billingualism in modern world. Yet, your statistics data of bilingualism in the "world" looks rather unconvincing, Leastways, the EU data does not represent the world (mentioned in the header), of which the EU is merely around 9% in terms of population and less then 3% in terms of territory. Indeed, nor does the US.
So good and clear!
So basically CZcams is turning humans into animals???
"What is a linguist doing all day"? Well, if they are working at a university, they would probably be making efforts to get their Ph.D. That's what they are there for, basically.

This is an unfinished symphony of learning, I learned such a lot from it. Thank you!
Never brings any kind of german, to any kind of land. They always make trouble.
In Canada, people use Canadian raising before voiceless consonants, but not necessarily in front of voiced consonants. So in "high school" or "bite" the first vowel would be raised, but Canadians usually say the word "five" with a diphthong closer to that used in the U.S.

Absolutely accurate Good job
Dear Professor! What type of linguisitcs deals with collocations? Cognitive, applied, etc...?
Explaining the noun bias. Languages differ one from another in almost all aspects with 2 important exceptions: all have nouns and verbs. On this bases, it should be recognised that verbs and nouns are the original parts of speech, that emerged in the time immemorable with the first human words. As the child learns nouns first, it seems that the nouns were earlier, before verbs, and afterwards the rest was created. I heard that in my language, which is highy inflected (Polish) children learn the declination of nouns first, and after that the conjugation of verbs. If this is true for other languages, I believe this is the explanation. The noun was first, for naming objects, situations and activities. Then, the verb appeared. By combining verbs and nouns a broad tool for communication was invented. Due to Chomsky, the first language learning is rather conditioned by instict. This way, it all seems to be logical: they learn nouns first.
Thank you professor. I work at a large, public rehabilitation hospital. I strive to develop materials that allow me to detect the specific difficulties of children with language disorders, so we can taylor their therapy plan (in Spanish). These videos are of great help.
Kindly provide us with the answers for the examples you ask us to think about here so we’d benefit from the comparison.
I do like linguistics too and linguists do a great job and are fascinated.
In fact the linguist approach rather than the mathmatical approach is how I solve programming tasks. Which seems to confuse a lot of math heads.
i can’t even understand the cognitive linguistics in Chinese but i tease out it through this English course❤🎉really helpful and impressive !!!!!!!!
Thank you.
Martin my daughter is thinking of studying in Neuchâtel, but missed the open day? Have any of your colleagues in the English department posted videos talking about their courses, teaching, the place? It's a challenge to decided which is better, Neuchâtel, Geneva or Lausanne.
Hi Mark, email me and I'll put you in touch with my colleagues. Neuch, Geneva, and Lausanne are all good schools.
I read it differently in the study of Bialystok and in the book of Grosjean, too (I am talking about 14:30-15:30). Acutally, in the study came out that all bilinguals have an advantage, but the advantage of English-Chinese children is smaller. And it is not because of other type of writing system in the sense you are presenting (because English-Hebrew children had according to the study actually the same advantage as English-Spanish children). Hebrew has the same system as English or Spanish, because it is based phonetically. That is not the case in Chinese or Korean etc. So the signs themlselves don't play such a big role, the system of putting signs and parts of speech together do (if morphems or phonems). That's what Bialystok found out and I think you might misunderstood that.
Superb . Great clarity of mind and content, whilst introducing a confounding subject.
Thank you so much for the great lecture! Is code-switching the same phenomenon as language switching?
Thank you for your investigation. I learnt a lot from your video
I hate to say it, but I think it's a pretty good indicator it's high time to start seriously considering a future in studying linguistics when the cons start sounding like pros... 😅
Hello Martin, I really like your videos, by chance, Do you have a linguistics program to follow with students, with topics to be developed in a class? I'll appreciate it!
Thank you for this video! Great insight into not only linguistics specific career path, but also into the academic field as a whole. Very helpful as I'm choosing between industry and academia.
24:40 Holy crrap! I was looking for MI - how to calculate? Great. Thanks. Need more info on how to calculate MI of collocations with other softwares.
