Topanga的部落格

今天上課時隔壁坐一個金髮女孩，在跟前面的人聊天，
她記了一些老師上課講過很好笑的quotes,
我跟她借來抄了其中一些（大部分是Mark Baker講的 XD p.s. Mark Baker 跟Bill Croft開了一堂formal/functional對話的課)
後來自己也好玩記了幾段精彩語錄 :P

"We shouldn't have Chinese. Chinese is a mistake by this analysis"
~Maria Polinsky (討論crosslinguistic relative clauses與一些心理學的實驗，神奇的是對於中文，有三組人馬做了三套實驗，結果完全相反，故出此言。）

One of us is taller, I don't know which one."
