在准备学术写作课的标题写作小节，第一反应就是想到金满兄大作的标题：

李金满,王同顺.当可及性遇到生命性:中国学习者英语关系从句使用行为研究.外语教学与研究,2007(03):198-205+241.

当时看到这个标题，感叹了好长时间，为什么标题还可以这么精彩？怎么可以将如此枯燥的两个术语巧妙且生动地连接起来？

后来碰到金满兄请教，他说论文标题来自于一部电影标题的启示：

好吧，还可以这样。我以后也要耍一耍。

于是就有了下面这篇论文：

•Lei, Lei. 2016. When science meets cluttered writing: Adjectives and adverbs in academia revisited. Scientometrics. 107(3):1361-1372.

再后来，小廖也学会了 ^_^

•Liao, Shengyu, & Lei, Lei. 2017. What we talk about when we talk about corpus: a bibliometric analysis of corpus-related research in linguistics (2000-2015). Glottometrics. 38: 1-20.

还有些精彩的标题，也印象深刻，如：

•Meltzer, AL & McNulty, JK. 2014. "Tell me I'm sexy . . . and otherwise valuable": Body valuation and relationship satisfaction. Personal Relationships. 21(1):68-87.

反问也是个办法，如 (有广告之嫌)：

•Lei, Lei., & Wen, Ju. 2019. Is dependency distance experiencing a process of minimization? A diachronic study based on the State of the Union addresses. Lingua, S002438411930511X.

•Zhu, Haoran, & Lei, Lei. 2018. Is Modern English becoming less inflectionally diversified? Evidence from an entropy-based algorithm. Lingua. 126: 10-27.

还有"双城记"系列：
