Part 2 of a 3-part series of vlogs looking into how language and meaning function.

saussure is a swiss linguist not french
I, too, wanted to thank you for your fantastic--accessible breakdowns and relevant applications of lit theory. I'm a PhD lit (ABD) student at UNLV, and this semester I'm assigning some of your videos to my undergrads in both Freshman Comp and Mythology. Thank you for these amazing resources--they make my job SO much easier; wish they'd existed when I taught Lit Theory a few years back!!! :)
thank you so much for linking all your sources in the description box, those will surely help me with my essay on this topic!!
I really feel the need to tell you your videos are great, and they have way less views than they should. Thank you for making great content, I'll spread it as much as I can.
I've spent my whole day reading "Myth today" and I just didn't get it. The whole sign, signifier, meaning, form, concept, ... is really really abstract without the proper linguistic background (I hope I'm not dumb) or a fitting example to go along with it. Thanks a bunch
Love it man. Really well put together. Keep it comin'
You are a great teacher. Nice work! Subbed
Great channel! Love your examples and explanation style.
great video with great explanations and examples :)
Thumbs up for "hashtagthebeeeest". :D
Thank you so much! This was super helpful. ❤
THANKYOU SO MUCH
Super insightful! I study semiotics in sociology and this is really making me rethink my understanding of Myth. If you wouldn't mind, would you say Baulldrillards simulacrum is a myth referencing itself just as myth references a sign?
Thank you so much!
I really love this video and example, but why do I have the feeling that the terms signifier and signified have been swapped?
Great video!
great video topic and application... which book would you recommend on the topic?
The background music is too loud
I couldn't finish it because of the loud distracting music. You don't need music on every video. Especially when explaining a complex concept.
What the...
