Without Language, Thought Is A Vague, Uncharted

Linguistics Will Have To Recognise Laws Operating Universally In Language, And In A Strictly Rational Manner, Separating General Phenomena From Those Restricted To One Branch Of Languages Or Another.

Henceforth, Language Studies Were No Longer Directed Merely Towards Correcting Grammar.

Psychologically Our Thought-apart From Its Expression In Words-is Only A Shapeless And Indistinct Mass.

Any Psychology Of Sign Systems Will Be Part Of Social Psychology - That Is To Say, Will Be Exclusively Social; It Will Involve The Same Psychology As Is Applicable In The Case Of Languages.

It Is Only Since Linguistics Has Become More Aware Of Its Object Of Study, I.e. Perceives The Whole Extent Of It, That It Is Evident That This Science Can Make A Contribution To A Range Of Studies That Will Be Of Interest To Almost Anyone.
