Famous quotes containing the words speakers and/or perceive:
“The problems of society will also be the problems of the predominant language of that society. It is the carrier of its perceptions, its attitudes, and its goals, for through it, the speakers absorb entrenched attitudes. The guilt of English then must be recognized and appreciated before its continued use can be advocated.”
—Njabulo Ndebele (b. 1948)
“Young people do not perceive at once that the giver of wounds is the enemy and the quoted tattle merely the arrow.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
