    your videos are truly fantastic. it's obvious you have a true understanding of the material because you give tangible examples and explain them all the way through, you even try to answer the questions you think are natural to ask to help us, the viewers, understand better. most of the videos on here have an extreme amount of information shoved in seven minutes without any examples. you obviously have a knack for teaching, it's so refreshing to see!! it would be great if you'd consider doing a video on concatenative vs non concatenative morphology!!

    For 4 years I struggled to construct a syntactic tree diagram the bottom-up way since that’s what we were taught.
    Can’t believe how clearer it is to do it your way. Thank you so much!

    I teach syntax and I sometimes find that my students get puzzled when I explain the tree diagrams of certain sentences. But, having watched your video, I think now I know how to explain them, the tree diagrams, in a more understandable way. Great video, thanks

    Evan, I am studying linguists this quarter and you have really helped to untangle everything I have been reading in my course book. You have a real talent for explaining/teaching this topic. Thank you for making the videos. I don't believe I would have had a better understanding without your explanations. Your 2014 video is continuing to make a HUGE difference. You are pretty awesome.

    I think my teachers need to these videos to know how to explain their lessons in an easy manner.
    They overcomplicate things and don't give much time to hand a good explanation to the students.
    You're a rare teacher.

    @miriamlally6846 3 года назад +1

    I really enjoy your videos on linguistics and the different aspects of linguists. I really learned a lot from them and learn to appreciate linguistics more. To be honest I watched other videos about linguistics and I did not really understand, but with your videos i understood everything clearly. I actually stayed up late learning about syntax. I started by watching syntax (part 1) without knowing anything about it, I watched part 2 and part 3, and now I can confidently say that I know what is syntax, the phrase structure rules and the tree structure diagrams. You explained it so well and in an understandable manner. I'm not sure if you'll see this but , I would like to thank you for your time and effort in posting these videos to help others understand linguistics like me. I really appreciate it. God bless you.
