Linguistics

"אַ שפּראַך איז אַ דיאַלעקט מיט אַן אַרמיי און פֿלאָט"

"Linguists continue to arrogate to themselves the competence of these other disciplines. Just as experts from other sciences do not intervene in linguistics, so linguists should not tell historians, archaeologists et al what to do or how to do it just because the latter’s finds are at variance with linguistic wishes."

"Languages are no more than the keys of Sciences. He who despises one, slights the other."

"Glottochronology is a methodological deadlock."

"[C]haque fait linguistique fait partie dun ensemble où tout se tient."

"Its as if were higher apes who had a language faculty inserted."

"Lashd into Latin by the tingling rod."

"Jede Sprache is ein System, dessen sämmtliche Theile organisch zusammenhängen und zusammenwirken."

"Omnia Græce! Cum sit turpe magis nostris nescire Latine."

"Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiss nichts von seiner eigenen."

"But, for my own part, it was Greek to me."

"He Greek and Latin speaks with greater ease Than hogs eat acorns, and tame pigeons peas."
