In the Philippines, we use the word "salvage" to describe a murder or killing. It is usually used in news headlines for example: "A father salvaged his 3-year-old child in Manila". To most Filipino readers, it is understood as a father murdered or killed his child. To most English speakers, salvage actually means "to save" or "to rescue".

I also wonder if slang also serves as some kind of time machine - a performative method of demonstrating an understanding of a particular historical slang term that, while not used by the person (or anyone) anymore, also shows that they were somewhere (in both geography AND time) that that term was used. That all got a little more meta than I was expecting...
@evanashworth490
Жыл бұрын
😂 Meta is good! I agree with you, though. The way speakers can use slang related to the notion of a "shibboleth". That is, the use of slang doesn't just reinforce group membership (e.g., when a younger speaker says "slay", in a slang sense) and distinguishes "insiders" from "outsiders", slang also serves as a kind of marker that someone is/was present in a time/place in and belongs/ed to a specific community of speakers (e.g., the surf-scene in the 60s, stoners in the 90s, gamers in 2022).

There's a trend nowadays among Turkish speakers in Turkey: dropping the consonant at the end of a word and changing it with an "o" (or by just adding 'o' of the word is short.) The word "aşko" for example, is particularly popular and it means my love. Also, there's 'yeto' which means enough.

In Nigeria, we use the word "cruise" to describe a situation that is not meant to be taken seriously. More like pulling ones legs, joking around or kidding with someone for the Americans and English. For example, we would say: "Forget that thing, I was just cruising with you." Other speakers would use "cruise" as going for a sea voyage or sailing. "Chop" even. "Chop" in other dialect means to cut something in pieces or a clipping of "chopsticks." Chop in Nigeria means "to eat." E.g: "Nna eh, I never chop since morning." Suddenly, my mind is literally blank.😅 But do thank you for this educational video!

Hello, are semantics and sociolinguistics closely related? Do we need to understand semantics first to get into sociolinguistics?
@evanashworth490
Жыл бұрын
They are related, but perhaps not as closely as, say, semantics and pragmatics. That said, I personally believe it is useful to have a strong understanding of semantics (and pragmatics) before moving on to sociolinguistics, but it is not necessary, as students can understand most if not all sociolinguistics concepts without having discussed semantics first; I just feel that a strong understanding of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics will provide a richer understanding of sociolinguistic concepts. I hope that helps!

@evanashworth490
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Athea. No, they are not bad spellers or readers. There's a much more innocent explanation--it's just dialectal variation. In a sense, the lack of the "r" sound in some speakers' dialects is just like deleting the second [f] sound in the word "fifth". It can be viewed as a kind of deletion.

How is something determined to be or not to be mutual intelligible. For example, I am a native speaker of Dutch and I can understand Flemish Dutch and Frysian perfectly fine, whereas most people who are native to Dutch can't understand Frysian and sometimes not even Flemish Dutch. To them Frysian and Dutch are not mutually intelligible, but for some they are. How do we then determine if Frysian and Dutch are or are not mutually intelligible.
@evanashworth490
Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question because dialects and languages exist as continua and, as you recognize, it depends upon the individual speaker. As another example, Spanish and Portuguese are best considered separate languages because they each language uses different grammatical systems and employs different sound inventories, but many Spanish speakers and Portuguese speakers can understand a lot of what the other is saying because the languages are so closely related (sister languages derived from the same mother language, Latin). Therefore, the criterion of mutual intelligibility is really only useful as a first criterion, and is really only useful for introductory linguistics students. Your problematizing the question, and understanding its flaws, means, arguably, you are well beyond the introductory stage :)

@evanashworth490
Жыл бұрын
This is a famous quote, often invoked by linguists, to express the idea that "languages" are more powerful than "dialects". For example, consider English, which is indisputably a language. However, there is a dialect of English called "Appalachian English", which has a negative stigma among many English speakers as, unfortunately, associated with uneducated rural people. Some English speakers might say that those who live in Appalachia "speak with an accent" whereas those who speak, say, Western American English do not speak with an accent. Consider all of the ways in which English is employed in "official" capacities (e.g., dictionaries, voting ballots, legal statutes)--the English used in these capacities follow the prescriptive rules of "proper" English, and such "Standard American English" is often taken as the right way to speak English, rather than using the other more stigmatized varieties of English that might be viewed as "dialects" of English with less prestige. You might want to take a look at this webpage for more inforamtion: zipfslaw.org/2016/02/04/language-versus-dialect-a-language-is-a-dialect-with-an-army-and-a-navy/ I hope that helps!

Hi Ayoub. Generally speaking, "languages" are mutually unintelligible (speakers cannot understand one another) whereas "dialects" are generally mutually intelligible (speakers can understand one another), as dialects are regional or social varieties of a language. I don't know what a "piding" is, but I suspect you mean a "pidgin", which is a kind of mixed language that emerges typically in trade situations--pidgins incorporate features from each of the languages used to form them.

😂 Meta is good! I agree with you, though. The way speakers can use slang related to the notion of a "shibboleth". That is, the use of slang doesn't just reinforce group membership (e.g., when a younger speaker says "slay", in a slang sense) and distinguishes "insiders" from "outsiders", slang also serves as a kind of marker that someone is/was present in a time/place in and belongs/ed to a specific community of speakers (e.g., the surf-scene in the 60s, stoners in the 90s, gamers in 2022).
Slang example: whats up professor evan. Your instructional videos are dope.

There's a trend nowadays among Turkish speakers in Turkey: dropping the consonant at the end of a word and changing it with an "o" (or by just adding 'o' of the word is short.) The word "aşko" for example, is particularly popular and it means my love. Also, there's 'yeto' which means enough.

In Nigeria, we use the word "cruise" to describe a situation that is not meant to be taken seriously. More like pulling ones legs, joking around or kidding with someone for the Americans and English. For example, we would say: "Forget that thing, I was just cruising with you." Other speakers would use "cruise" as going for a sea voyage or sailing. "Chop" even. "Chop" in other dialect means to cut something in pieces or a clipping of "chopsticks." Chop in Nigeria means "to eat." E.g: "Nna eh, I never chop since morning." Suddenly, my mind is literally blank.😅 But do thank you for this educational video!

Hello, are semantics and sociolinguistics closely related? Do we need to understand semantics first to get into sociolinguistics?
@evanashworth490
Жыл бұрын
They are related, but perhaps not as closely as, say, semantics and pragmatics. That said, I personally believe it is useful to have a strong understanding of semantics (and pragmatics) before moving on to sociolinguistics, but it is not necessary, as students can understand most if not all sociolinguistics concepts without having discussed semantics first; I just feel that a strong understanding of phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics will provide a richer understanding of sociolinguistic concepts. I hope that helps!

Dialectology is, in short, the study of different dialects--where they came from (and maybe even where they are headed).
An example of slang I have used would be “no cap” meaning no lie or the truth. Moreover, is someone is “capping” they are lying.

My question is why non-rhodic speakers ignore the R sound. Could it be they also bad spellers and readers? Or do they erroneously believe they ARE pronouncing the R? I also wonder why some people pronounce the silent T in "often."
@evanashworth490
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Athea. No, they are not bad spellers or readers. There's a much more innocent explanation--it's just dialectal variation. In a sense, the lack of the "r" sound in some speakers' dialects is just like deleting the second [f] sound in the word "fifth". It can be viewed as a kind of deletion.

Here in the philippines, most millennials changes the spelling of "person" to "ferzon". Then we define "ghost" as someone who leave w/o any reason, or someone who disappears. Are they considered slang?

How is something determined to be or not to be mutual intelligible. For example, I am a native speaker of Dutch and I can understand Flemish Dutch and Frysian perfectly fine, whereas most people who are native to Dutch can't understand Frysian and sometimes not even Flemish Dutch. To them Frysian and Dutch are not mutually intelligible, but for some they are. How do we then determine if Frysian and Dutch are or are not mutually intelligible.
@evanashworth490
Жыл бұрын
Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this question because dialects and languages exist as continua and, as you recognize, it depends upon the individual speaker. As another example, Spanish and Portuguese are best considered separate languages because they each language uses different grammatical systems and employs different sound inventories, but many Spanish speakers and Portuguese speakers can understand a lot of what the other is saying because the languages are so closely related (sister languages derived from the same mother language, Latin). Therefore, the criterion of mutual intelligibility is really only useful as a first criterion, and is really only useful for introductory linguistics students. Your problematizing the question, and understanding its flaws, means, arguably, you are well beyond the introductory stage :)
Sir please could explain this quote for me "A language is a dialect with an army and a navy "
@evanashworth490
Жыл бұрын
This is a famous quote, often invoked by linguists, to express the idea that "languages" are more powerful than "dialects". For example, consider English, which is indisputably a language. However, there is a dialect of English called "Appalachian English", which has a negative stigma among many English speakers as, unfortunately, associated with uneducated rural people. Some English speakers might say that those who live in Appalachia "speak with an accent" whereas those who speak, say, Western American English do not speak with an accent. Consider all of the ways in which English is employed in "official" capacities (e.g., dictionaries, voting ballots, legal statutes)--the English used in these capacities follow the prescriptive rules of "proper" English, and such "Standard American English" is often taken as the right way to speak English, rather than using the other more stigmatized varieties of English that might be viewed as "dialects" of English with less prestige. You might want to take a look at this webpage for more inforamtion: zipfslaw.org/2016/02/04/language-versus-dialect-a-language-is-a-dialect-with-an-army-and-a-navy/ I hope that helps!

Hi sir what is diffrnece between language and dialect and piding
@evanashworth490
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ayoub. Generally speaking, "languages" are mutually unintelligible (speakers cannot understand one another) whereas "dialects" are generally mutually intelligible (speakers can understand one another), as dialects are regional or social varieties of a language. I don't know what a "piding" is, but I suspect you mean a "pidgin", which is a kind of mixed language that emerges typically in trade situations--pidgins incorporate features from each of the languages used to form them.
