Famous quotes containing the words ring and/or structure:
“Ring out, ring out thy mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“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)
