Scale Device

Famous quotes containing the words scale and/or device:

    I own I never really warmed
    To the reformer or reformed.
    And yet conversion has its place
    Not halfway down the scale of grace.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Syntax is the study of the principles and processes by which sentences are constructed in particular languages. Syntactic investigation of a given language has as its goal the construction of a grammar that can be viewed as a device of some sort for producing the sentences of the language under analysis.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
