Famous quotes containing the word morphology:

    “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 (1925–1961)
