This video lecture is a part of the course 'An Introduction to English Linguistics' at the University of Neuchâtel. This is session 14, in which I discuss information structure, the management of information in language.
At 17:45, I would say I prefer A, but it's certainly more difficult to process. A few years ago, I had a lot of trouble understanding complex passive sentences like the one in the video, but then I came across Noam Chomsky's transformations from active to passive sentences and vice versa and started transforming them automatically like that in my mind, and now, I don't even consciously transform anything, but I still understand the sentence just fine.
my man killing it, my presentation in linguistics boutta be hella comprehensible, thank you man, deffo subbing and recommending you to my friends and family
