How do we know what we know; goedel Escher Bach
What happens when meanings are contained in one single moebius map? What it means to know one language other than another? Each language is a system of its own - alphabets with distinctive phonetics, phonemes, words, syntax is another, and then semantics, and then pragmatics. For NC(Noam Chomsky), grammar is universal. Every language on the earth has its own grammars, and he saw that people are born with the ability to construct the grammar. Then why two different linguistic systems have different grammars? Is it because of the experiences of the linguistic community? For example, why Korean has so many passives while English is full of active voice?
