Cultural Anthropology Is More And More Rapidly

I Am Convinced That The Stratigraphic Method Will In The Future Enable Archaeology To Throw Far More Light On The History Of American Culture Than It Has Done In The Past.

It Would, Of Course, Be Hopeless To Attempt To Crowd Into An International Language All Those Local Overtones Of Meaning Which Are So Dear To The Heart Of The Nationalist.

In A Sense, Every Form Of Expression Is Imposed Upon One By Social Factors, One's Own Language Above All.

A Common Creation Demands A Common Sacrifice, And Perhaps Not The Least Potent Argument In Favour Of A Constructed International Language Is The Fact That It Is Equally Foreign, Or Apparently So, To The Traditions Of All Nationalities.

The Attitude Of Independence Toward A Constructed Language Which All National Speakers Must Adopt Is Really A Great Advantage, Because It Tends To Make Man See Himself As The Master Of Language Instead Of Its Obedient Servant.
