Page "François Rabelais" Paragraph 28
from
Wikipedia
The French Renaissance was a time of linguistic controversies.
Among the issues debated by scholars was the question of the origin of language.
What was the first language?
Is language something that all humans are born with or something that they learn?
Is there some sort of connection between words and the objects they refer to, or are words purely arbitrary?
Rabelais deals with these matters, among many others, in his books.
