Everything in your videos is awesome Explanation, tone, music, colours Just EVERYTHING THANKS GOD you are a professor and THANK YOU so much I don't know how to thank you Sir
Semantics never sounded that fun until now. I loved your videos; your teaching approach is easy to understand and very soothing. Unlike my Semantics professor, who has been incredibly frustrating,and drove me up the wall you effortlessly explained everything, and suddenly it all clicked. I'm feeling confident about acing the exam now, after struggling with semantics for so long. I'll definitely keep you posted. Thank you so much!
Thank you very much, your explanations are wonderfully clear and to the point and your videos are pleasant to watch, not strident music, colours, etc. I really appreciate this :).
I m doing M.A English and was searching for a good Semantics lecture on RUclips. After browsing one hour at least I found your channel which is not good but the best. Thank you sir.
Is there a general word for all roles that "verb" (ie. agents, experiencers; the subject except when using a passive voice)? ...and another word for roles that are "verbed" (ie. themes, patients, stimulus; the object except when in a passive voice)? ....and another word for roles that are "verbed to/for/from/etc" (ie. beneficiaries, recipients, goals; the indirect or prepositional object)?
It is not an agent. Someone or something caused the hammer to strike the window. If you re-phrase you get "The window was broken with a hammer". You can see more clearly the instrumental role of hammer.
You just named everything twice. School is a location. Mary is a beneficiary (what if she hates the car?) He hit a car with a stick and you call this an instrument. What if he hit the car with a violin? Or he picked Mary up and threw her at the car is Mary a beneficiary or an instrument?

Thank you professor! I enjoyed the video and the explanations. Thank you for making it simple and to the point! Keep up the great work and the videos!
Your lectures are great help to me! Linguistics is quite a headache, but thanks for your e-lectures!!!

Sir your explanation method is great... Thank u
Thanks a lot, Doctor. This has been of help to me
Did Dr. Abusalim misspeak at 1:40? Is "the ball" the theme of action, or did he mean to say the patient? Thanks!
So I guess 'theme' can be kind of another word for 'patient?' But they're also kind of different somehow? I'm not sure I understand, tbh.
Is it really just 'change in state' vs 'change in location?'
@@dkennell998 yes patients undergo some change in state, while a theme undergoes a change of location.
The hammer broke the window.
How instrument can be subject of verb break?
It is not an agent. Someone or something caused the hammer to strike the window. If you re-phrase you get "The window was broken with a hammer". You can see more clearly the instrumental role of hammer.
@@georgechristoforou991 Thank you sir.
Nice explanation. Thanks
What is the role of "the rock " in the the rock fell on the boy
Yup, I was thinking of it

Hello sir,
' petty is hideous' ,is it a theme or patient .
Hope we can see more from you Dr may allah bless you 🙏
Thanks a lot Doctor, this really helps me
You're amazing, a real prefessor! Thanks so much
This was really helpful, thank you for everything
Is the sentence: " Our class visited Singep Falls in Aurora", a goal or location?
I'm kind of confused
You just named everything twice. School is a location. Mary is a beneficiary (what if she hates the car?) He hit a car with a stick and you call this an instrument. What if he hit the car with a violin? Or he picked Mary up and threw her at the car is Mary a beneficiary or an instrument?
Where the next video?
Thank you so much for this video
Great job , thank you again Dr. Nimer.
Thank you so much you was so helpful 👍🏻
Thank you
I want your lectures as PDF
THANKS YOU^^.
where is the course of ambiguity and vagueness?
I guess it was explained implicitly as he was explaining the roles
But then after checking the comment box, I found an answer from @georgechristoforou
Thank you a bunch! Your explanation makes me comprehend a lot in semantics. However, you lost a little things such as illocutionary and speech acts.
Hi sir ,i think the title should be "thematic roles" or "semantic relation" Not "thematic relation" ,thank you .
Please discuss anomaly, sir
Sir, the definition of beneficiary is incomplete!
Poor Bob...
