Prof. Richards, your ability to hear your students questions and compassionately understand what they are trying to ask you is absolutely incredible. I can say that I never experienced this while studying and its been an eye opener to see an intelligent, capable professor leading a lecture series with active listening and comprehensive knowledge sharing first. Thank you.
There are lecture notes for 1 and 7. See the course materials on MIT OpenCourseWare at: ocw.mit.edu/courses/24-900-introduction-to-linguistics-spring-2022/pages/lecture-notes/. Best wishes on your studies!
First of All, I am honored and blessed that I am one of the luckiest who's got the Opportunity to attend the MIT online/ virtual lecture. I have done BS(Hons) in English, I am doing MS(Applied Linguistics) I have completed course work, I want to proceed my research from MIT, If it's not possible then I'm also ready to start MS/M.Phil or any course from MIT. Can u plz provide the details or information. Thanks
Hey, seems like you have studied the English language quite well, can you please help me in learning it as well, I basically want to know all the grammar of English till grade 12 please.
On the differing words for frog calls: different frog species also make different sounds. E.g. "ribbit" is the sound of one particular American frog species
30:37 weeeell the word "cat" is quite short. And I have a gut feeling that it means that the word is used commonly, or whatever, which feels like it suggests some sort of practical value of the idea, I have another hypothesis: the reason why common words are short is optimisation by natural selection and whatever mechanisms inside our brains.

About affording tuition: a little know fact is that MIT is one of only seven colleges in the U.S. that is need-blind and full-need. This means that your ability to pay does not affect your admission chances and, if accepted, MIT will make sure you can afford tuition.

For the first in months I enjoyed a Linguistics lecture. I used to think Ling was boring but Prof Richards changed my way of looking to the subject.

Would you please share the lecture 1 .
Notes on the website say that lectures 1 and 7 weren't actually recorded, due to technical problems.
If you understand this lecture without pause and captions well its more than enough
I've been studying with a native of the Nuosu language, my experience is a lot like what he described with destroyed hypotheses haha!
