Device Class

Famous quotes containing the words device and/or class:

    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)

    Money couldn’t buy friends, but you got a better class of enemy.
    Spike Milligan (b. 1918)
