“When a mother nourishes an infant, she imparts language too and with it, possibly, the earliest and most deeply embedded attitudes, beliefs, and corresponding speech behaviors and related manners.”

The statement chatyped in passing earlier today may be more easily stated (done) than proven, and yet if “war begins in the heart” as some say, then it begins the arrangement of symbols in language metonymy, i.e., the poetry of the culture and its methods of encoding and decoding speech.

Says I.
