  • 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...

    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.

    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.
