Famous quotes containing the words force and/or structure:

    The mass believes that it has the right to impose and to give force of law to notions born in the café.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    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)
