Very well elucidated ! You're undoubtedly brilliant in explaining complex topics and making them crystal clear without unnecessarily diminishing their core meaning. Hats off.

Truly insightful and wonderfully presented ! I wish I could put into words how exceptionally helpful this video is .

This video is truly eye-opening.Before this video, I had watched one video by Kalyani Vallath ma'am.and that video was the main reason why such misconceptions entered my mind. She had reduced every single concept to a whole new level of superficiality. Thanks again. This video was a much-needed one.

Undoubtedly, one of the most informative and well presented videos on YouTube. And we expect nothing less from one of our most erudite mentors from Think A Bit!

These days, any mediocre student can crack UGC NET. And I used to think the same about you because you never expressed yourself in public. Consider this my apology letter, Anshuman. You truly are gifted. To talk about the fallacy of meaning at 12:54, one needs to have a comprehensive understanding of semiotic mediation as a whole. To think someone of your age could grasp this concept was beyond my imagination. Someday I'll tell you my real name when we meet in person.

I wish I had even half of your intelligence. Btw, you can find these mistakes in every other YouTube video. None of them have read Saussure. Sayan Chattopadhyay, Arpita Karwa, and even one of my favourite channels, Nibble Pop, have made these same mistakes in their videos. Even my guide has no clue about these things.

Anshu is one of the wisest guys I have come across.
I want to see him more and more. ❤
