Thank you for having uploaded this online courses! Helped me a lot with the exam on generative grammar @Babes-Bolyay University in Cluj Napoca, Romania. Can't thank enough :).

Definitely the best syntax-lecture videos I've ever watched, but is there part 3?

[aminemakhlouf]

Hi there.  I just wanted to pop in to say that there are indeed plans to continue this series and also to start several new ones.  Your support is much appreciated!

[melodyrubie]

Finally a clear understanding of these very complex concepts!  I only wish I would have discovered this sooner!.  Thank you, thank you!

I've never seen a tree diagram where subject is part of the VP, as she did with the sentence "Marry gave John books" at 5:30ish

I can't help but notice that these videos have been uploaded before the videos which come before this one in the list, and that there is a gap in the list. Are the missing episodes going to be uploaded? I kinda wanted to binge watch them...

[EveMtandi]

thank you so much, this is easier to understand than the way my lecturer explained it

[aaronalexandrecuyugan]

That was incredible, I am really understanding this for the first time, thank you, thank you so much.

[GretchenMcCulloch]

These videos look great! But I notice the ones up so far go from 4.1 to 5.2 -- are there any plans to put up parts 1, 2, or 3? 

[e.m.]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I've finally understood !

[MdJahurulIslam]

These are so great videos! However, like others, I am also wondering why I can't find the preceding clips (if there are any). Also, can we expect that more videos on more advanced topics in syntax will come out soon?

Hi
Linguistics and English Language at the University of Edinburgh, Could you explain to me why you use a triangle instead of a line to refer to a noun, verb etc. is there a difference between a line and a triangle?

[Dp-kcwt]

I really appreciated the marvelous videos. Those helped me a lot. Love from Japan!

[pawelwysockicoreandquirks]

Absolutely love Ravel's Oiseaux tristes at the beginning of each video.

Part 3 of the playlist is missing, would you please upload it!

03:12 Is there a reason why the head is buried so deep down in the tree instead of being its root?
I mean, why this structure in particular? Is there any deeper reason behind that?
05:45 That's what I very often have problems with in this approach :q Looks like a better model is needed...

[brucechanfilms]

Very clear and it really helps! Thank you
