A child who lives in a family where no language is used but that which is logically and grammatically correct, will learn to speak with logical and grammatical correctness long before it is able to give any account of the processes of its own mind in the matter, or indeed to understand those processes when explained by others. In other words, practice in language precedes theory.
She had Rebecca Mary's hair, Rebecca Mary's eyes, mouth, little pointed chin. But not Rebecca Mary's legs unless the long skirts covered them. She was rather comely and pleasant to look at. But Rebecca Mary tried not to look. "She's got a lover -some day she'll be getting married," the new Thought said more abruptly, startlingly, than grammatically.
They could not speak grammatically; they could hardly offer him the necessities of life, yet they gave all they had, with a touch of courtliness. In a fabric soiled and threadbare, one may sometimes trace the tarnished design that erstwhile ran in gold through a rich pattern.
The bright morning sun had indeed been shining through the window for an hour, but she had not known it till then. It was not a love-letter. He used those grammatically illogical but superfinely courteous forms which make high Italian a mystery to strangers who pick up a few hundred words for daily use and dream that they understand the language.
The worship of female deities becomes prominent somewhat late in Indian literature and it does not represent not to the same extent as the Chinese cult of Kwan-yin for example the better ideals of the period when it appears. The goddesses of the Ṛig Veda are insignificant: they are little more than names, and grammatically often the feminine forms of their consorts.
She, in return for his confidence, always kept all mention of her own work sedulously from him. His, she said, was "real work"; hers merely filled space, not always even grammatically. "I'm afraid there isn't," Oleron replied, still meditatively dry-shaving his chin.
For instance, if I had wanted to say, "You must go to the village and buy me a small loaf of bread," I should have expressed it thus: "Jack, go village, money, bread small, one." Grammatically expressed, the order would have been unintelligible to him: but few would have misunderstood it in the uncouth phrase last instanced.
For tense of misimus, 'I send' see A. 282; G. 244, H. 472, 1. OMNEM: see n. on 62. TRIBUIMUS: perfect tense like misimus. TITHONO ... ARISTO: see Introd. Cicero generally denotes the Greek diphthong ει by i not e. This Aristo was a Peripatetic. PARUM ... AUCTORITATIS: observe how often Cicero takes trouble to separate words which are, grammatically, closely connected.
Those parts of the Memoir which related to experiments, or alleged secrets in Nature, that the writer intimated a desire to submit exclusively to scholars or men of science, were in Latin, and Latin which, though grammatically correct, was frequently obscure. But all that detained the eye and attention on the page necessarily served to impress the contents more deeply on remembrance.
There are some French merchants in Melbourne to whom I have to write, and I have forgotten my French. Could you write a letter in that language?" "Not grammatically, I fear." "I beg your pardon, sir," said Melville, coming forward. "If you are willing, sir, I will write it." "Do you know French?" said Mr. Inglis, in surprise. "As well as English, sir."
