I like syntax classes that teach a model of syntax using multiple languages in tandem, it helps with comparing language syntax, but also to really get the model without a purely English view of what it can do. Monolingual syntax always ended up getting me confused with what's a limit of the model, what's a limit with English syntax, and what's a strong crosslinguistic limit of syntax. English and Dutch is a common combo just for how much syntax work is done in both
Great and well explained! Now, what about languages that starts sentences from right to left? Like arabic What would the syntax tree look like? By the way, arabic has two patterns: VSO & SVO I hope you make a video like this one about Arabic. Thanks sir
left and right doesnt really matter, you can mirror the whole setup as you wish. but i think Arabic is an VSO language? so that would be head-front instead of head-final
dude you are literally a lifesaver
Thank You!! This was a mind-blowingly illuminating series. Great job. I fully enjoyed it.
THE SYNTAX SERIES COME BACK!!!

Thanks to your videos I understand my linguistic classes 🙏🏼💜

Very cool lecture as ever. Incidentally,any future studies on pragmatics and social aspects of language to come out? Thanks.
Please do a video on a tree for an agglutinative language with case markings. Thanks
What about those particles in japanese/korean?
Thank you very much indeed.
I love you, you saved me
