	Kate T. Donohue / Helen Hardin
		Thought and action in the Tewa world is organized around these dualities.
		Although Helen had a deep internal connection to the Tewa world, she was considered a "half-breed" in the Pueblo, In the 1940's though the 60's, children of mixed blood where called this in both the Anglo and Tewa worlds.
		She felt the creative source of her imagery was fueled by the expansive, imagistic, spiritual language and culture of the Tewa world.

	20th WCP: Language as Freedom in Sartre's Philosophy
		Language does this in a twofold manner: on the one hand, it is an action that does not phenomenally alter being, but that has the capacity of altering consciousness; on the other hand, language, more particularly written text, is a mode of communication that is delayed, hence that occurs outside the present, i.e.
		Language does this in a two-fold manner: on the one hand it is an action which does not phenomenally alter being, but which has the capacity of altering consciousness; on the other hand, language, more particularly written text, is a mode of communication that is delayed, hence that occurs out with the present, i.e.
		Language appears as a 'medium' which 'objectifies' the consciousness of the Other and allows it to rest upon me, thereby objectifying me. Furthermore, it is also clear that Sartre is deeply concerned with the absolute necessity for the individual to be perceived, and thereby to perceive him/herself, as a subject in the world.

	Paul Dalde: Unanswered Prayer
		We like to read what others have thought of, and we write back our answer, re-action, our opinion and beliefs, ever satisfied after we click "send".
		We are a community scattered all over the world, speaking the same language, aspiring to be free to enjoy the knowledge un-thought of, a century ago, or even in a decade ago.
		In the long and short history of our Cyber Boholano Network (CBN group), we enjoy each other as we follow the daily routine of reading mails.

	Stars 3-D in Action!
		To become familiar with the new language, I decided to translate this demonstration program into Action!, a job I thought would take one or two hours.
		I believe everything else in the listing is understandable, because I kept the names of all routines and most of the comments the same as those in the original assembly language listing.
		Calculations to generate the display list required that the address of screen memory be divided by 256 to obtain the high byte of the address.

	U B U W E B :: Eugen Gomringer "Concrete Poetry" (1956)
		If concrete poetry is still considered strange (aesthetically meager or overly-simplified) this is probably due to a lack of insight into the new directions in which our society is developing in thought and action, which in essence contain a new total view of the world.
		Concrete language structures either do not follow the traditional verse and line order or they follow it in such a limited way that one is not reminded of traditional forms (this refers only, to poetry).
		Language structures in concrete poetry differ in several respects from poems and texts which appear in the flow of literary production in our time.

		because human agents are able to use language, and because their knowledge about their own action is substantially contained in the ordinary language.
		Lev Vygotsky, a noted psycholinguistic theorist, illuminates linguistic potential in Thought and Language by saying: "A word is a microcosm of human consciousness" (256).
		The image is a distinctive element of the language of art by which experience in its richness and complexity is communicated, as opposed to the simplifying and conceptualizing processes of science and philosophy.

		Because a foreign language can never be the language of the people, for you will have two strata or more-those who live in thought and action of a foreign tongue and those who live in another world.
		Therefore he used the word 'Hindustani', not in any technical sense, but in that broad sense representing that composite language which is both the language of the people and the language of various groups and others in Northern India, and to the last he drew the attention of the people and the nation to that.
		Though purists and precisionists in the matter of language have their place and should be there, it is a dangerous thing to allow a language to become the pet child of purists and such like people because then it is cut off from the common people.

	Supreme Court of Idaho
		The majority quotes some language from the Corgatelli dissent in support of its assertion that an ambiguous insurance contract should be construed in accordance with the understandings of a reasonable person in the position of the insured.
		Guanche testified that he was too busy to "take care of insurance," and that he thought representatives of Knievel and Snake River Canyon Enterprises would "take care" of him.
		I think the limits of Guanche's coverage should be established, not by his secret and unexpressed desires, but by the context in which the insurance was obtained.

	Todd, Olivier. Albert Camus.
		Todd's excellent analysis of the writer's life exemplifies the man for whom thought and action were one.
		Todd ends up with a well-drawn picture of Camus the tortured artist, the moralistic intellectual under fire by Sartre and that crowd, the avid lover of women.
		It is, too, a finely executed biography of a world-class writer, one that readers and thinkers will ponder and enjoy.

	Imperative programming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In much the same way as the imperative mood in natural languages expresses commands to take action, imperative programs are a sequence of commands for the computer to perform.
		Imperative programming languages stand in contrast to other types of languages, such as
		Since the basic ideas of imperative programming are both conceptually familiar and directly embodied in the hardware, most computer languages are in the imperative style.

	Amazon.com: Books: The Book of Chuang Tzu (Arkana S.)
		He is critical both of language as a means of pinning down concepts and civilisation in terms of corrupting people by creating rigidity.
		Chuang Tzu is considered to have been a follower of the Taoist school of thought, influenced by Lao Tzu.
		But Chuang Tzu was concerned in applying that kind of not-overly-intellectual action to government, which is also fascinating.

	CERT® Coordination Center Reports
		Web-related programming languages pose new security challenges and concerns because code is downloaded, installed, and run on a user's machine without a review of source code (the recommended practice for secure use of publicly available software).
		Viruses are also self-replicating programs, but usually require some action on the part of the user to spread inadvertently to other programs or systems.
		Integral to a security program are documented policies and procedures, and technology that supports their implementation.

	The Language Instinct--In Action
		Pinker’s example (p58) of the deaf adults who have no language and yet continue to function, at least marginally, in society stands as strong evidence that language is not necessary for thought.
		Forming language that accurately expresses the concepts that may lack language, and then agreeing on the definitions of the concepts that we are attempting to harness via language illuminate even more the shortcomings of language.
		Nevertheless, there may be some concepts that have roots in language, or at least have evolved out of a command of a particular language.

	Orwell: Politics and the English Language
		I have not here been considering the literary use of language, but merely language as an instrument for expressing and not for concealing or preventing thought.
		Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer.
		Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it.

	Sapir-Whorf hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While his views changed over time, it seems that towards the end of his life Sapir came to believe that language did not merely mirror culture and habitual action, but that language and thought might in fact be in a relationship of mutual influence or perhaps even determination.
		Whorf's close analysis of the differences between English and (in one famous instance) the Hopi language raised the bar for an analysis of the relationship between language, thought, and reality by relying on close analysis of grammatical structure, rather than a more impressionistic account of the differences between, say, vocabulary items in a language.
		While some people might make this "vulgar Whorfian" argument, Whorf himself sought merely to insist that thought and action were linguistically and socially mediated.

	Duncan S
		However, neither of these arguments are satisfactory, for the former is too dismissive of the power of ideas whilst the latter is too na�ve, and Skinner approaches the problematic relationship between thought and action, between language and behaviour, through switching the causal arrow.
		Skinner has primarily been concerned with examining the role of political thought in moulding action, and in particular the part played by political principles in this process.
		Although not by necessity a critical theory � how could it be, when Hitler has been one of the most successful proponents of the manipulation of language for the purpose of legitimation � this interpretative understanding of society allows for the possibility of one.

	MOTOR THEORY II
		On the motor theory presented in this paper, the explanation for this must be that the categorisation of speech-sounds is derived from organisation prior to language, and specifically from the categorisation of motor programs used in constructing and executing all forms of bodily action.
		The theory has been that language was the result of the gradual accumulation of a range of behavioural aspects which together ultimately went to form the language capacity, and that this involved an increase in brain connectivity, establishing links between brain sectors and neural systems that had appeared separately in other animals and birds.
		Because the motor theory of the origin and development of language is at the same time a theory of the current functioning of language, it is also potentially a theory of the ontogenetic as well as phylogenetic development of language.

		At a time when productive, bilingual Quebecers are leaving that province in response to genuine markets for their talents elsewhere, when Canadians are centilingual, not bilingual, this "action plan" looks like the worst sort of retro-liberalism and special pleading by the federal government for more government interference.
		A couple of years later the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism announced that the existing language policy was "the greatest crisis in Canadian history." Even more shocking, Canadians had no idea how bad the crisis was.
		In 1963, when Jean Chretien was still new to the House of Commons and official bilingualism was but a wild glitter in the eye of Pierre Trudeau, government "help" to language minorities was somehow seen as a way to fight terrorists in the FLQ as well as the more benign separatists and ordinary nationalists.
