For those of you who've been emailing me about it, thanks! I just wanted to answer some common questions 1) I've decided not to share my dissertation because it's not published anywhere and I don't want people to 'steal' my work. But I have used the following dissertation as inspiration if you would like to have a look ntnuopen.ntnu.no/ntnu-xmlui/bitstream/handle/11250/299825/master%20thesis%20luke%20james%20barber.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y Remember that plagiarism is a big deal and shouldn't be done. 2) While I cannot tell you what to research or how to research (the latter would be your university tutors' role), I cannot emphasise on how important it is to read research papers about your topic of interest. If you don't have one, READ. Reading lots of stuff about bilingualism is what inspired my research topic. 3) I lost all my data unfortunately... It was in the USB key that I submitted and forgot to make a copy of it. Didn't think I'd be making a video about it years later! 4) If you want to know how to write dissertations, the best way is to ask your tutors for examples or just read research papers. The structure is gonna be similar to what you are expected to do Good luck!

Oh, how nice knowing about your research! ❣️

Highly useful! Keep up the good work bruh!

My experience tells me that adjectives are the ones that get switched a lot, because people tend to use ones that pop up in their heads quicker, which can be the one from another language. Also using an adj of another language does not make you switch the whole sentence structure usually, so it can be seen as more "acceptable".

What a thrilling video. I am student in one of the University in Kenya and I find this video so cool

Thank you so much. I now have an idea with my dissertation next year.

Thank you this is very helpful!

Thanks for sharing.

Hi. What an interesting subject! I've been trilingual since birth and bilingualism or 'plurilinguisme' is something I enjoy talking about. I always found myself more creative than non-bilinguals. I've also found that I learn any other language much faster than others. Finally, when I learn other languages, I always have one foreign accent (not three different ones or each time a different one).. So no matter what new language I learn, I sound the same in all of them. Anyways, I thought you might have similar observations. During my PhD I researched just the creativity aspect and it's true that some aspects of creativety are enhanced by multiple linguistic ability.

what is the job opportunity in the field of linguistics?

Heyy love your research topic.I am currently learning Español

Hey Kevin, thanks for the great vid! Also love the channel. Would you be able to create a video about your MA in Applied Linguistics experience? I’m thinking of taking one but I don’t want to be a teacher, just for the sake of it because I’m fascinated by the process of learning a language. I’d probably do my dissertation about how L2 affects L1.

I suspect people are more hesitant to code switch when the words are already cognate (like in your example sentence at the end). You're not saving time nor mental energy by switching to a word that sounds similar in the other language...this is hardly a problem in Mandarin 😅

Bom dia Kevin! your research sounds really interesting to me!! I just have a little question. How much did you pay to do your MA in England? I would love to do one but I guess it is really expensive :( Did you get a scolarship? Thanks and have a nice day!

Hi, for the comparison, what kind of conversation in English and Spanish? Where did you retrieve it?

Thanks Kevin! I don't have any clue about writing my research paper. In fact, I can't decide which topic to research. I am interested in dramas and novels. Would you suggest topics to read.

Hello, I’m planning on getting my PhD in English- literature and a question I am often asked is what I want to research. When ppl ask that, what does that necessarily refer to? Does that refer to what I want to write my thesis on, and/or do throughout my PhD experience. Thank you :)

Hello ^_^ this is Hadeer from Egypt and please I need to know what are the best universities in UK to study MA in Applied linguistics ? Thanks in advance .

Hi dear . I want to know from you . About research topic for graduate student. Related to languistic

speaking of the code switching, I always say let's vamos, which is so much fun lol

Well, do you have any idea about topics in Clinical linguistics ?

hey! so this is probably going to be a shot in the dark but I am looking for Christmas gifts for my boyfriend who is studying English language and linguistics, and just wondering if you can recommend any good books, thank you!

Reference code-switching, could this also include why ELLs include articles/prepositions when there not needed, and omit them when they are needed in sentences? Obviously, code-switching is taking place.

Sir , I want to ask a question. Which job did you choose after your ma linguistics. Sir because I am so confused what should I choose in ma linguistics or English literature.

Could you please tell where did you get your MA degree?

Hi sir I really liked the topic you did can you please explain more in details ☺️

Please, can you tell me the best universities for having M.A degree in Britain in The field of English linguistics in general and applied linguistics in particular?

Does anyone else agree with me that it sounds more natural saying “mi papá es un professor”? (professor being pronounced the English way tho).

I'm looking g for a Master in English. Is Linguistics worth it? What can you do with that degree and how useful or applicable is for the daily life of a teacher? I really appreciate your input. Greetings from Panama.

Sir how to write short form of MA Linguistics please tell me sir

Thank u, thank u very much, you didn't even know, what a help u have done to me??

Legal

Can you plz share any thesis related to applied linguistics with me

Hi good morning

in my opinion, when the sentence begins in English, people want it to go on in English. The reason why that sentence hasnt been accepted is that it starts in English. If it starts in Spanish, the rest of sentence will be wanted to be in Spanish. I think its about the language that sentence begin in.

I wish I had seen this before I started my research! I had a similar topic but had a limited survey and no speech recordings. Now my prof is telling me my thesis statement isn't clear and asking me what I'm trying to present!

You speak french, n'est pas?

Bro, can you make part tow ?? And be more explicit and Tell us about the program...

I was not going to ask you to share your thesis, just about the topic itself. It feels "stupid" to me to even consider code switching as being a real, spontaneous phenomenon, rather than just people engaging in some sort comedic act. In other words, I don't see the point of studying something that feels like a built-up lie. Does it really, actually, happen? I speak English and Bosnian and, like I said, it's all mostly comedic. More incredible still is this code-switching within a single sentence. I don't do that spontaneously, either, that's almost always a conscious thing I do for comedy. So how real is it? Maybe I haven't been brought up in contexts that would warrant this being a natural thing.
