Famous quotes containing the words device and/or class:
“UG [universal grammar] may be regarded as a characterization of the genetically determined language faculty. One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“No human being is innocent, but there is a class of innocent human actions called Games.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
