Errata: at 5:54 I accidentally wrote “stimulus” again instead of “force,” despite actually saying the right thing. I’ve blurred it out here (at least to start) but just be aware that the one to do with nature forces is “Force”
I am so grateful for these videos. You have a great, clear, easily understandable way of telling. That is what I exactly need. Please make more of them. Thank you. :)
Fantastic video! I wish your account had existed while I was an undergraduate. But I enjoy sharing your videos with folks to clarify the linguistic 'fun' facts I force on them haha
idk if you could answer this asap but I'll just try. how about "they were very hungry" and the underlined word is hungry? what semantic roles is that? thank you
@@atticusharrigan6105 so, semantic roles only apply on nouns? What about the semantic roles of experience? The words are feel, see, know, enjoy, or hear.
Houra Az Those words are verbs. The nouns involved in those experiences would have a semantic role, but the verbs themselves would not, at least according to the definitions used in this video.
It will depend somewhat on what your course uses, but you're right that it is not an agent. Agents are usually performers of volitional actions, and in that sentence 'fell' is not really volitional. Personally, I'd call it a patient, as the cup is undergoing the action of falling.
thank you, sir

well explained ! please try to post more videos.
The "second-impact" hehe, nice example n great video
Thanks for sharing
Shouldn't it be divided into: agent, patient, instrument, external cause, locative, recipient, experiencer, stimulus, beneficiary and positioner ?
It’s a great lesson. Can you please give more complex examples of other roles?

Hi there,
In this example, “hungry” is an adjective and not a noun, so it shouldn’t have a semantic role as described in this video.

cool
Excelente explicación!!! Muy clara y comprensible.Muchas graciass!
In this sentence, the cup fell from the table, the cup is not an agent is it? It's not falling deliberately... What semantic role do we assign it then

How about you name it an actor. Since the actor is the performer of the action.
3:48 There are two typos which are 'preforms' and 'recieves'. Anyways, helpful video 👍
