Romance Language

Famous quotes containing the words romance and/or language:

    She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older—the natural sequel of an unnatural beginning.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    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)
