Famous quotes containing the word language:

    If fancy then
    Unequal fails beneath the pleasing task,
    Ah, what shall language do?
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

    There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.
    Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

    The language of Friendship is not words, but meanings. It is an intelligence above language.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
