Quote

Le Language [...] est un acte physiologique en ce qu'il met en œuvre plusieurs organes du corps humain. C'est un acte psychologique en ce qu'il suppose l'activité volontaire de l'esprit. C'est un acte social en ce qu'il répond à un besoin de communication entre les hommes. Enfin, c'est un fait historique, attesté sous des formes très variées...
[Language is a physiological act since it uses many organs of the human body. It is a psychological act since it supposes the willing activity of the spirit. It is a social act since it fulfils a need for communication between men. Lastly it is a historical fact, attested under various forms...] — Le Langage, introduction linguistique à l'histoire (1921)
