Linguistics Will Have To Recognise

Speech Has Both An Individual And A Social Side, And We Cannot Conceive Of One Without The Other.

Time Changes All Things; There Is No Reason Why Language Should Escape This Universal Law

The First Of These Phases Is That Of Grammar, Invented By The Greeks And Carried On Unchanged By The French. It Never Had Any Philosophical View Of A Language As Such.

Written Forms Obscure Our View Of Language. They Are Not So Much A Garment As A Disguise.

It Is Only Since Linguistics Has Become More Aware Of Its Object Of Study, I.e. Perceives The Whole Extent Of It, That It Is Evident That This Science Can Make A Contribution To A Range Of Studies That Will Be Of Interest To Almost Anyone.
