    Thank you so much, The Ling Space team! I'm a guy from Russia and I'm interested in linguistics, also I'm only sixteen and I've an intention to become a linguist, your channel contains a lot of information that really helps me, because it's hard to get linguistic things down sometimes, you know, especially for as low English level learner as me. However thank you a lot! =)

    Here is a good idea, you should make a video in which you list some of the linguistics books that you believe are very good and a must read. Best introduction books and advanced ones.

      This is a good suggestion, and I think we're going to look into putting that together!

    Yes! Finally caught up!
    O.K., I've been waiting for this.
    1. I thoguht you were Moe T. Like Alexander T. Great or Crow T. Robot.
    2. I thought she was Adelaise.
    3. I love this! Please keep it up!
    4. Sentences provide a diagramming challenege because verbs look simultaniously to the subject and the object/s. What with tense phrases and and I can finally accept the idea of a predicate. But I still don't know what to do about it.

      You've really stuck it out! Thanks for watching all of it. And yeah, we have pretty unusual names, so you're not the first to think that about my name, for sure. We're glad you really like the videos! We'll have a new one next week. ^_^
      And yeah, figuring out the best way to capture the relationship between the predicate and all the elements it needs to work well is a challenge for syntax and semantics. There's been a lot of work to try to get it right over the years. But it's always a fascinating topic!

    This video is great because it gives me evidence to back up the native speaker intuition I have that, in some sense, relative pronouns (or similar) are still there even when silent. Thanks!

    i studied semantics in generative for academic purpose and find it very difficult and interesting. but why we don;t have rules for the cp in lambda abstraction. why is it consider as null set....

    You know, "Married" and and "killed" are very similar, but you can say "Chris is married" but not really "Chris is killed". There might be a reason for this.
    When two people marry or are married (both work, weird, huh), their social status changes. They become different to the outside world. You go from a single person to a married person. It serves multiple roles, both the act of marriage and the new state you attain after it. Being killed, on the other hand, also changes you, but we don't really use it the same way as we do "married". Maybe because there are multiple paths to being dead so you can't use it to describe the new state.
    If that's true, we should be able to find other words in each category. For instance, "Chis is fired" feels weird, but "Chris is unemployed" feels fine. "Chris is painted" is also weird, so maybe it doesn't work after all.
    Man, I thought I had something, there.
