| Citazioni | [...] context, that background of mutual understanding that is essential to the complete intelligibility of all speech. In every intelligible proposition at least two [...] radical ideas must be expressed, though in exceptional cases one or even both may be understood from the context. [...] there are [...] languages which have no true grasp of the fundamental relations but content themselves with the [...] expression of material ideas, sometimes with an exuberant display of 'outer form,' leaving the pure relations to be merely inferred from the context. |
