	4.08: Dejpu'bogh Hov rur qablli!*
		Language can be a symbol of profits, and of power - after all, English became a major language in India not because the Sikhs wanted to read Wordsworth's poetry, but through the military muscle of the British Empire.
		Artificial languages actually exaggerate the battles over what words mean and why; because their sounds have in an overt way been chosen, the whole concept of phonemes having assigned meanings gets thrown up in the air.
		Long before that, in the 17th century, the quest for a perfect language had taken on a scientific fiavor: amateur linguists were looking for the ideal medium to bring the march of progress to the common man and impose order on the unruly European languages.

		Nevertheless, as science contributes to a common world picture (or a loose mosaic of such pictures), it is tempting to draw general lessons from a large set of particular investigations from various areas of inquiry.
		In the present article she argues that this parameter, coupled with the observation that languages may have overt or covert determiners, provides an adequate account of the range of variation found among the bare nouns of Creole languages.
		She hypothesizes that three key factors determine the Spell-Out form of the auxiliary compound in all syntactic contexts: (1) the presence or absence of an abstract DlP° head in the syntax; (2) participial AGR; and (3) the have for be, parameter.

	Esperanto and the ideology of constructed languages
		Another etiology for the "word-salad" tendency in schizophrenia, and its related phenomenon, the construction of neologisms and language systems, which has been proposed by the Freudian school, and for which a considerable amount of evidence has been forthcoming, is the young child's assumption that language means control.
		It involves a particular principle which is at the core of the language, and which seems to have become a major ideological mark of distinction between the Esperanto movement and most other movements for constructed languages.
		Thus, to the average speaker of Esperanto, to suggest changes in the language is felt, emotionally, as equivalent to suggesting changes in the basic structure of English, or French, or German, or whatever his native language might be: it is not taken seriously.

	Introduction
		Model languages exist on paper or in computer files and may be shared only with a few close friends or may be used to give depth to imaginary worlds read or watched by millions.
		If few adults seem to create model languages, it is only because schools teach us that language is a formal structure, not a casual, informal world to be explored.
		A person who designs their own setting for a role-playing game might create a language for the same reason, or a person might invent a language to gain a better understanding of how true languages are structured and evolve.

		Language is a system of gestures, grammar, signs, sounds, symbols, or words which is used to represent and communicate concepts, ideas, meanings, and thoughts.
		Those who speak or otherwise use a language are deemed (by the self-appointed linguists) to be part of that language’s theoretical linguistic community.
		For example, the boundaries between named language groups are in effect arbitrary due to blending between populations (the dialect continuum).

	Origin of Phrases - Have Origins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This phrase was popularized by president Harry Truman who kept a sign with the phrase inscribed on his desk and is a rebuttal to the older phrase "Pass the buck".

		The embedding may be linked on nominal phrases, or on predicates which have been nominalized.
		The simplest relative clauses derive from the combination of two sentences where a common nominal referent is used to link them.
		The linked phrase from the outer sentence will be replaced by the relative particle va, which does take the appropriate case marking for the phrase (see table of cases).

	Common Errors in College Math
		That language is a bit more consistent than English, but it is not entirely consistent -- it too has its idiosyncrasies, which (like those of English) are largely due to historical accidents, and not really anyone's fault.
		A beginner will write down an equation that should be accompanied by either the phrase "we have now shown" or the phrase "we intend to show", to clarify just where we are in the proof.
		But the beginner writes neither phrase, and the reader is expected to guess which it is. This is like a novel in which there are many flashbacks and also much foreshadowing, but all the verbs are in present tense; the reader must try to figure out a logical order in which the events actually occur.

		Sanskrit was the classical literary language of the Indian Hindus and Panini is considered the founder of the language and literature.
		Panini's studies in linguistic theory and formal language and the powerful role of symbolism and representational abstraction in art and architecture may have also provided an impetus, as might have the rationalist doctrines and the exacting epistemology of the Nyaya Sutras, and the innovative abstractions of the Syadavada and Buddhist schools of learning.
