Famous quotes containing the words linguistic, purism and/or language:

    “It is merely a linguistic peculiarity, not a logical fact, that we say “that is red” instead of “that reddens,” either in the sense of growing, becoming, red, or in the sense of making something else red.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)

    “I curse all negative purism that tells me not to use a word from another language that either expresses something that my own language cannot or does that in a more delicate manner.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.”
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
