Famous quotes containing the words metaphor and/or structure:
“A good metaphor is something even the police should keep an eye on.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“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)
