TYP111 - Language Universals
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- This E-Lecture discusses the main approaches towards the definition of language universals: empiricism and rationalism and lists the central parameters along which universals can be chracterized. Furthermore, it shows the central parameters along which languages can be typologized.
It could have been a RUclips problem. I reworked the video settings, it should work now.
Thanks for such an informative lecture . By the way, it has been said that it is a myth that inuit languages has more words for snow than others. What do you think
The Japanese version at 3:00 doesn't seem to match the English one, "the man sees the woman".
You've got "sono otokono hitoga sono onnano hito mitatokini". The "toki" refers to a time with the following "ni" being a postposition (like a preposition just placed after). This would translate, therefore, to "when the man sees the woman". You want a plain verb.
Also, for correctness, there should be a postposition, "wo" (normally pronounced "o"), after "onnano hito". Though, that may be a little pedantic.
Thus, "sono otoko no hito ga sono onna no hito wo miru" (or, a little more formally, "sono otoko no hito ga sono onna no hito wo mimasu").
Adding the accusative postposition /O/ is not pedantic, it's necessary for correctness! I'd argue however that it's irrelevant it is sometimes transliterated as "wo" because it's just a weird orthographical convention and the examples in the video are phonetic.
BTW, the Japanese example in the previous video is also not fully correct. I wonder what was the source...
Thank you so much! This lecture is so helpful! Just thank you. :)
Merci beaucoup !

This video seems to be somehow broken. It refuses to load past 3:14. I've tried and retried, and even attempted to get past 3:14 using three different browsers. It would seem that there is something wrong with the video. I've even left it alone for a day and come back to it, and it's still doing it. I find this a most fascinating topic and really want to see the rest of the video. If this could be fixed, I'd really appreciate it. Or if it's a problem on my end, if someone could point it out.
Typ 112 and 113 etc are not in video list
Geoffrey Sampson maintains that universal grammar theories are not falsifiable and are therefore pseudoscientific. [Wikipedia] I agree.
The lumpers are correct and the splitters are wrong.
Just like climate change... Theories (or models) of universal grammar can be rejected or kept on grounds of their explanatory power.
@@unghegelianer climate change isn't even a theory. Climate changes by definition. The question is what precisely is the human impact and should we even care.
Plz provide if possible
