While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate

Apart from the more material and substantive
relations between signs and language, it is to be expected
that analogies can by proper research be ascertained between
their several developments in the manner of their use, that
is, in their grammatic mechanism, and in the genesis of the
sentence. The science of language, ever henceforward to be
studied historically, must take account of the similar early
mental processes in which the phrase or sentence originated,
both in sign and oral utterance. In this respect, as in many
others, the North American Indians may be considered to be
living representatives of prehistoric man.
