Famous quotes containing the words governing and/or structure:

    “... governing is occupying but not interesting, governments are occupying but not interesting ...”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “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)
