We are the world, we are the linguists

Un grupo de profesores y estudiantes del Programa de Teoría de la Lingüística de la Universidad Eötvös Loránd de Budapest, ha compuesto y grabado esta genial versión del mítico "We are the World", para celebrar el 20 aniversario de su departamento. 



Esta es parte de la letra:



There comes a time
When we heed a certain call,
When linguists must come together as one.
There are people speaking,
They bind and c-command;
It’s grammar, the greatest gift of all.



We can’t go on
Pretending day by day
That we know our language works in the brain.
We are all a part of
God’s linguist family,
And the truth, you know, grammar’s all we need.
