—Rosemary Tonks (b. 1932)
“It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 20:14.
“The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation.”
