Famous quotes containing the words family and/or structure:
“It is extraordinary that when you are acquainted with a whole family you can forget about them.”

“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)
