your videos are truly fantastic. it's obvious you have a true understanding of the material because you give tangible examples and explain them all the way through, you even try to answer the questions you think are natural to ask to help us, the viewers, understand better. most of the videos on here have an extreme amount of information shoved in seven minutes without any examples. you obviously have a knack for teaching, it's so refreshing to see!! it would be great if you'd consider doing a video on concatenative vs non concatenative morphology!!
I am late to the party, but your series on Syntax seriously saved me. I am taking my linguistics exam tonight and struggled with Syntax up until now. Thank you!
For 4 years I struggled to construct a syntactic tree diagram the bottom-up way since that’s what we were taught. Can’t believe how clearer it is to do it your way. Thank you so much!
My English Syntax lecturer sucks like I cannot understand a single thing she says so this video and the other two parts are so easy to understand, thank you. Best teacher ever.
I teach syntax and I sometimes find that my students get puzzled when I explain the tree diagrams of certain sentences. But, having watched your video, I think now I know how to explain them, the tree diagrams, in a more understandable way. Great video, thanks
I can't believe that its a 7 yrs old video... I'm so glad to have come across it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR! YOU SAVED MY DAY! (my masters too..) from INDIA. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT!
As an student from Bangladesh: You have made the hardest topic way too easier. I was literally having a lot of difficulties with this. But now I can do every tree structure on my own. Thank you Sir you made my day. 😊
Sir with all due respect, I'm a student from Malaysia and I just wanna say thank you so much ! I'm taking English for my degree currently and I had been struggling with syntax so much and so long but you saved me I pray you'll live a long and healthy life so that you could continue helping us student !!!
Evan, I am studying linguists this quarter and you have really helped to untangle everything I have been reading in my course book. You have a real talent for explaining/teaching this topic. Thank you for making the videos. I don't believe I would have had a better understanding without your explanations. Your 2014 video is continuing to make a HUGE difference. You are pretty awesome.
Artist You're right--it's definitely another possible meaning, but the tree structure for that meaning would be the exact same as the one used for the second meaning in the video (that the student wrote his thesis under the influence of acid). That is, the PP "on acid" would be connected to the VP node, as it is qualifying the action of writing (as a verb) not the thesis. Hope that helps!
Professor, I really love your classes, in every explanation ive cleared my doubts and my difficulties in the subject are less every time i summarize a lesson from you. Thank you very much for your help. 😊
I think my teachers need to these videos to know how to explain their lessons in an easy manner. They overcomplicate things and don't give much time to hand a good explanation to the students. You're a rare teacher.
IAM an English language student at university. And I want to say that you're the best explainer teacher. although it's advanced lesson but we getting it more easier. Because you know how to send the information with a simple explanation contract other teachers, Thanks in advance for your efforts 🙏
oh Mr Evan! the smile i am wearing right now ....wonderful. i have been struggling with the noun phrase branching from the verb phrase.thanks to your videos its all childs play now. thank you so much sir and please continue with more videos.
Hi, Evan, I'm just writing to tell you how much these videos have helped me. I am studying a Master's degree on English Teaching and it's all about assigning pdf files readings, so your lessons have helped me so much.
This was SO helpful. Wish my linguistics professor taught how you do in the first place. Anyone else having this guy teach them 20 mins before an exam ???
The videos I have watched so far have been helpful. I've understood today what seemed hard to me, it's has been simplified in a simpler way. Thank you 🙏
I really enjoy your videos on linguistics and the different aspects of linguists. I really learned a lot from them and learn to appreciate linguistics more. To be honest I watched other videos about linguistics and I did not really understand, but with your videos i understood everything clearly. I actually stayed up late learning about syntax. I started by watching syntax (part 1) without knowing anything about it, I watched part 2 and part 3, and now I can confidently say that I know what is syntax, the phrase structure rules and the tree structure diagrams. You explained it so well and in an understandable manner. I'm not sure if you'll see this but , I would like to thank you for your time and effort in posting these videos to help others understand linguistics like me. I really appreciate it. God bless you. From a student in the Caribbean.
I never comment on videos but I had to say that your video really helped me understand the topic I have been struggling for a while. Thank you very much sir.
Maan thank you sir!! You saved my lifeeee im a translator from iraq and i can say that it has been quiet difficult for me and the rest of my classmates to understand this subject but thx to you i no longer need to worry about it!! :DD
thank you very much ..as a language learner I've learned so much from you this is very simple and easy for me to understand and very helpful thanks again *-*
thankyou evan i was struggling to understand properly the introduction to so many linguistic terms in class at uni. your examples are also very helpful
Thank you very muchhhh🥺 I was having a hard time understanding this lesson since I have 2 straight absences due to health condition but watched your 3 videos explaining made me understand this in less than 30 mins. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 💛
Thank you sir, for all the informative videos. I am following the books such as Liliane Haegeman's 'Introduction to Government and Binding theory' and Andrew Radford's 'Syntax: A Minimalist Introduction'. I would be grateful to you if you can advice us, any further readings to improve our knowledge in syntax.

It’s been 9 years and this video is still very helpful to a lot of people, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
I wish there were teachers like you at my school smh
Eiii what's the name of your school?

Had Syntax in the first semester and now 3 semesters later took another syntax class. This was perfect to remember everything important, Real G.

Things are not too complicated. The explanation and the way to clarify them depends on teacher, thank you a million Professor you make things easiest.
I love the way you explain these themes. Your explanations are logical, easy to follow, and I really like your sense of humor.

I am a moroccan student and I thank you so much sir Evan, Thanks to you I could finaly understand this introduction to linguistics.
Mr. Evan. You are the best teacher I have ever met
In 3 videos you did for me what 45 pages of my Linguistics textbook couldn't. This so clear and well explained. THANK YOU!
What if the student wrote his thesis ON acid instead of on paper? --- 3rd possible meaning.
Artist You're right--it's definitely another possible meaning, but the tree structure for that meaning would be the exact same as the one used for the second meaning in the video (that the student wrote his thesis under the influence of acid). That is, the PP "on acid" would be connected to the VP node, as it is qualifying the action of writing (as a verb) not the thesis. Hope that helps!
+Artist I was thinking that too.Virtual high-five ;D
@@nandini4494 virtual second high five :D
@manMichael Na I thought the same thing :D ... just not so well syntax[ed]
@@evanashworth490 I’m glad to see you back again after a long long time. How about the man was somehow floating on acid while writing
I have an exam in an hour and you have no idea how much these Syntax videos have helped me. Thank you.
Sir, simply your wonderful. Thank God there is youtube because I couldn't have learned while living here. God be with you always.
I've got my midterm finals tomorrow. I can say with certainty that I am only going to pass because of his videos. Thank you sir. You're awesome.
Professor, I really love your classes, in every explanation ive cleared my doubts and my difficulties in the subject are less every time i summarize a lesson from you. Thank you very much for your help. 😊
