Famous quotes containing the word language:

    “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)

    “Because language is the carrier of ideas, it is easy to believe that it should be very little else than such a carrier.”
    —Louise Bogan (1897–1970)

    “A language does not become fixed. The human intellect is always on the march, or, if you prefer, in movement, and languages with it.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
