Definitions and quotes

Language
Language is a system that consists of the development, acquisition, maintenance and use of complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so; and a language is any specific example of such a system.
Language
The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.
Ludwig Wittgenstein Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (5.6)
Language
Oft on the dappled turf at ease
I sit, and play with similes,
Loose type of things through all degrees.
William Wordsworth, To the Daisy.
Language
Language is a city to the building of which every human being brought a stone.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Letters and Social Aims (1876), Quotation and Originality.
A research background in earthquake engineering seems at first sight like an unusual fit with studying tsunamis. But on her return from Sri Lanka in the wake of the 2004 tsunami, Professor Tiziana Rossetto discovered that very little research had been done into the effects of tsunamis on coastal infrastructure and she wanted to find out more. She will be presenting this research to the public at the TEDx Brussels event on 1 December.
