Famous quotes containing the words rhythmic and/or structure:

“A great many quite good plays could be performed with rhythmic howls in the place of dialogue and lose almost nothing by the change.”

“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)
