Major Language

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or language:

“Never be afraid to meet to the hilt the demand of either work or friendship—two of life’s major assets.”

“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)
