Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or faculty:
“Martyrdom ... is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“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)
