精彩摘录
- "In truth, human languages are without exception fully expressive, complete, and logical, as much as they were two hundred or two thousand years ago."
- "Other hypotheses suggested ... that language originated from song as an expressive rather than a communicative need."
- "There are no “primitive” languages—all languages are equally complex and equally capable of expressing any idea. The vocabulary of any lan- guage can be expanded to include new words for new concepts."
- "It appears that the “un-Rule” is most productive for adjectives that are derived from verbs, such as unenlightened, unsimplified, uncharacterized, unauthorized, undistinguished, and so on. It also appears that most acceptable un- words have polysyllabic bases, and while we have unfit, uncool, unread"
- "The plural of geek, when it was a new word in English, was geeks, not *geeken, although we are advised that some geeks wanted the plural of fax to be *faxen, like oxen, when fax entered the language as a shortened form of facsimile."
- "peddle was derived from peddler on the mistaken assumption that the -er was the agentive suffix. Such words are called back-formations. The verbs hawk, stoke, swindle, and edit all came into the language as back-formations—of hawker, stoker, swindler, and editor. Pea was derived from a singular word"
- "Dr. Seuss uses the rules of compounding when he explains “when tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle, they call it a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle.”"
- "Amsel Greene collected errors made by her students in vocabulary-building classes and published them in a book called Pullet Surprises.4 The title is taken from a sentence written by one of her high school students: “In 1957 Eugene O’Neill won a Pullet Surprise.” What is most interesting about these"

三閱，依然讓人感動
语言学 5/100 (印刷和翻译的小错误有多处)
详细有条理的英语语言学入门书
我发现第八版第九版的部分内容，比如句法部分，到了第十版都简略了，有点可惜。
原书真的很好，但是翻译的别扭真的不少，难受
这本书很好，也有趣易懂，但是翻译一般，并且原书都出到第十版了，这才第八版
对照英文版食用更佳。
对于我来说，已经过于简单了。但是还是得说这水平比胡壮麟那本过时的破书高了十倍甚至九倍。英语系的各位扔掉你们的胡壮麟吧。哦，如果要考研，那还是算了。
写的太好了
超棒的入门书，大量英文中的例子读得津津有味
