    AND HOW COULD WE TRY A CASE IN COURT IF THE LAW WERE CONSTANTLY CHANGING DURING THE TRIAL?

    A PEOPLE’S SPEECH IS THEIR SPIRIT, AND THEIR SPIRIT IS THEIR SPEECH.

    A sign language is a real language, just like English or Spanish. A sign language can be acquired by a child as its first language. A sign language has a large vocabulary and a rich and elaborate system of grammar: breaking a rule of grammar is just as bad in a sign language as it is in a spoken language.
  • Дарья Патрушеваhas quoted4 years ago
    Every spoken language contains a small number of basic sound units, or phonemes. Among the phonemes of English are /k/, /æ/ and /t/. If we produce these phonemes in the order /kæt /, we get the word cat. But the order /tæk/ gives us tack, while /ækt/ yields act, /æt/ gives at, and /tækt/ gives tact or tacked (which are pronounced identically, in spite of their different structures).

    A further aspect of Saussure’s work is an emphasis upon two very different approaches to the study of language: a synchronic approach, in which we focus on the structure of a language at a particular moment in time (not necessarily the present), and a diachronic approach, in which we look at the development of a language over time.
  • Некто Никтоhas quoted5 years ago
    a structuralist approach, it is the structural relation that matters, not the objective phonetic facts.

    A LINGUISTIC SIGN IS NOT A LINK BETWEEN A THING AND A NAME, BUT BETWEEN A CONCEPT AND A SOUND-PATTERN. THE SOUND PATTERN IS NOT ACTUALLY A SOUND, FOR A SOUND IS SOMETHING PHYSICAL. A SOUND PATTERN IS THE HEARER’S PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPRESSION OF A SOUND.
