some monkey named Haiman is quoted in my histling textbook:

"...that linguistic forms are frequently the way they are because, like diagrams, they resemble the conceptual strutures they are used to convey; or, that linguistic structures resemble each other because the different conceptual domains they represent are thought of in the same way. These ideas are not new; they are simply somewhat unfashionable at the moment. They will probably continue to be unfashionable until and unless linguistics gets over its envy of physics."

Hahahahaha. Hahah. ...ha. shove it.
