| Citazioni | [...] instinctive cries hardly constitute communication in any strict sense. [...] If they convey certain ideas to the hearer, it is only in the [...] sense in which any and every sound [...] may be said to convey an idea to the perceiving mind. Yet the instinctive cries [...] are practically identical for all humanity, just as the human skeleton or nervous system is to all intents and purposes a 'fixed' [...] feature of man's organism. |
