Re: [ESL Weblog] Steven Pinker on Language & Thought Thanks Tdol for this video Here are some examples he gave and people laughed at but I couldn't understand why did they laugh Steven says that there is another intention or meaning in these sentences. Well, I didn't get the point,Tdol Examples: 1- I was just thinking that may be we could take care of it here in Fargo. 2- If you could pass the guacamole,that would be owesome. 3- Would you like to come up and see my etchings Please Tdol explain me what is the very meaning which makes the audience laugh Thanks in advance I.A |
