Indian Language

Famous quotes containing the words indian and/or language:

    I was happy there,
    part Venetian vase,
    part Swiss watch, part Indian head.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    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)
