William Shakespeare on Linguistics
← Back to William Shakespeare Profile
“By your own report A linguist.”
“But, for my own part, it was Greek to me.”
“Away with him, away with him! he speaks Latin.”
“This is your devoted friend, sir, the manifold linguist.”
“Speaks three or four languages word for word without a book.”
“O! good my lord, no Latin; I'm not such a truant since my coming, As not to know the language I have liv'd in.”
