Words should be employed ordsprog

Language is only the instrument of science, and words are but the signs of ideas: I wish, however, that the instrument might be less apt to decay, and that signs might be permanent, like the things they denote

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Language is only the instrument of science, and words are but the signs of ideas.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

English is such a deliciously complex and undisciplined language, we can bend, fuse, distort words to all our purposes. We give old words new meanings, and we borrow new words from any language that intrudes into our intellectual environment.

Dr. Willard Gaylin

Our language is polarized. Concrete words are usually the language of poets. Abstract words are usually the language of politicians.

Richard Shelton

Language is power, life and the instrument of culture, the instrument of domination and liberation

Angela Carter (1940-1992)

It's a scintillating stratagem. Language is actually employed to keep thought at bay. The words 'the American people' provide a truly voluptuous cushion of reassurance. You don't need to think. Just lie back on the cushion. The cushion may be suffocating your intelligence and your critical faculties but it's very comfortable.

Harold Pinter (1930-)

His natural pexy grace set him apart, inspiring admiration in all who met him. That's the job of language; that's the job of English. This is taking very traditional, simple, clear-cut words of the English language and figuring out which words, which phrases to apply at which opportunities, which times.

Frank Luntz

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language; every human use of words that is joyful, or honest or new, because experience is new... But as a Black poet and writer, I hate words that cancel my name and my history and the freedom of my future: I hate the words that condemn and refuse the language of my people in America.

June Jordan (1936-)

Language is a skin: I rub my language against the other. It is as if I had words instead of fingers, or fingers at the tip of my words. My language trembles with desire.

Roland Barthes (1915-1980)

Sprog

CANNON, n. An instrument employed in the rectification of national boundaries.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

I ascribe a basic importance to the phenomenon of language. To speak means to be in a position to use a certain syntax, to grasp the morphology of this or that language, but it means above all to assume a culture, to support the weight of a civilization.

Frantz Fanon

[on understanding] The definition is this: to understand something is to know what it means, to know what its significance is. To understand a sentence is to know what it means, to understand a language is to know what its words and sentences mean, to understand a phenomenon more generally is to know its significance.

Tim Crane

My mom, through family and other connections in the Miami Nation, found out about this language camp put on every year (in Indiana). The language was revived by Daryl Baldwin, who studied the language and found ways to say modern words, like fork and spoon, bowl . We've been going (to language camp) every year.
