Book 1. (10 results) Tarnsman of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
3	35	At first only Torm and my father were my teachers, but as I began to master the language of my new home, numerous others, apparently of Earth stock, assumed responsibility for my lessons in special areas.	10
3	43	If I set the machine to, say, Language A and spoke Gorean into it, it would, after a fraction of a second, emit a succession of noises, which was the translation of my Gorean sentences into A.	10
3	49	The translations, of course, are rather literal, and the vocabulary is limited to recognitions of only about 25,000 equivalencies for each language.	10
3	58	I was given some prayers to the Priest-Kings to memorize, but they were in Old Gorean, a language cultivated by the Initiates but not spoken generally on the planet, and I never bothered to learn them.	10
3	115	This suggested to me that perhaps a well-developed language or mode of conceptual thought existed prior to the primitive hunting groups that must have flourished long ago on the planet.	10
3	116	People had come, or had been brought to Gor possibly, with a fully developed language.	10
3	208	One pleasure of these final days was that I had begun to speak Gorean with the facility that comes from constant contact with and intensive study of a language.	10
9	4	It is interesting, incidentally, that in the Gorean language, the word for stranger is the same as the word for enemy.	10
14	30	"I risked my life a thousand times and gave the years of my youth to the vision of Ar and its empire, that there might be on all Gor but one language, but one commerce, but one set of codes, that the highways and passes might be safe, that the peasants might cultivate their fields in peace, that the...	10
16	60	At any rate, my plan for the division of the Home Stones had failed, and Marlenus, on whom I had depended, was, in the language of the game, neutralized if not removed from the board.	10

6	8	And I speculate that the fairs likewise do their bit toward stabilizing the dialects of Gor, which might otherwise in a few generations have diverged to the point of being mutually unintelligible—for the Goreans do have this in common, their mother tongue in all its hundred permutations, whic...	10
6	9	Unlike the men of Earth, the Gorean has little sensitivity to race, but much to language and city.	10
9	123	"Do we not speak the Language?" I asked, referring to the beautiful mother tongue spoken in common by most of the Gorean cities.	10
9	124	"Is the Language not yours?" I demanded.	10

Book 3. (24 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
10	24	I am told that the phonemes of the language of Priest-Kings or, better, what in their language would correspond to phonemes in ours, since their "phonemes" have to do with scent and not sound, number seventy-three.	10
10	30	Similarly in the language of the Priest-Kings, the seventy-three "phonemes" or basic scents are used to form the meaning units of the language, and a single morpheme of Priest-Kings may consist of a complex set of odors.	10
10	36	The translator tapes, incidentally, are approximately the same size, but this is no help, since the tapes represent pairings of approximate equivalents, and there are several English morphemes not translatable into the language of Priest-Kings, and, as I learned, morphemes in their language for whic...	10
2	5	He could not read the manuscript, as it was written in English, a language as foreign to him as Gorean would be to most of you, but yet he would treasure the manuscript and guard it as though it were a most precious possession, for he was a scribe and it is the way of scribes to love the written wor...	10
7	39	On the other hand these generalizations are imperfect, for Gorean speech is no less complex than that of any of the great natural language communities of the Earth nor are its speakers any the less diverse.	10
7	40	It is, incidentally, a beautiful language; it can be as subtle as Greek; as direct as Latin; as expressive as Russian; as rich as English; as forceful as German.	10
7	41	To the Goreans it is always, simply, The Language, as though there were no others, and those who do not speak it are regarded immediately as barbarians.	10
10	27	The morphemes of the language of Priest-Kings, those smallest intelligible information bits, in particular roots and affixes, are, of course, like the morphemes of English, extremely numerous.	10
10	28	The normal morpheme, in their language as in ours, consists of a sequence of phonemes.	10
10	31	I do not know whether there are more morphemes in the language of the Priest-Kings or in English, but both are apparently rich languages, and, of course, the strict morpheme count is not necessarily a reliable index to the complexity of the lexicon, because of combinations of morphemes to form new w...	10
10	33	I was told, incidentally, that the language of the Priest-Kings does possess more morphemes than English but I do not know if the report is truthful or not, for Priest-Kings tend to be somewhat touchy on the matter of any comparisons, particularly those to their disadvantage or putative disadvantage...	10
10	34	On the other hand it may well be the case that, as a matter of fact, the morpheme set of the language of Priest-Kings is indeed larger than that of English.	10
10	37	One English expression for which no natural "word" in their language exists is, oddly enough, "friendship," and certain of its cognates.	10
10	38	There is an expression in their language which translates into English as "Nest Trust," however, and seems to play something of the same role in their thinking.	10
11	37	There would be no clue in the individual pictures, per se, of the rhythm of the language or the mood of the speaker.	10
13	4	If the scent-dots were themselves not scented one might be tempted to think of them as graphemes in the language of the Priest-Kings, but since they themselves are scented they are best construed as analogous to uttered phonemes or phoneme combinations, direct expressions of the oral syllabary of th...	10
13	6	In our sense there is no distinction between a spoken and written language for the Priest-Kings, though there is an analogous distinction between linguistic patterns that are actually sensed and those which are potentially to be sensed, an example of the latter being the scents of a yet uncoiled sce...	10
13	30	Most significantly however I suspect that the syllabary of Priest-Kings remains complex, and that experiments with unscented graphemes were never conducted, because, except for lexical additions, they wish to keep their language much as it was in the ancient past.	10
13	31	The Priest-King, for all his intelligence, tends to be fond of established patterns, at least in basic cultural matters such as Nest mores and language, subscribing to them however not because of genetic necessity but rather a certain undoubtedly genetically based preference for that which is comfor...	10
14	84	I was given a translator by Misk and I would utter Gorean expressions into it and then wait for the translation into the language of the Priest-Kings, and in this way, after a time, I became capable of recognizing numerous meaningful odors.	10
15	141	"Basic information, as you might expect, pertaining to language, mathematics, and the sciences, but he is also being taught the history and literature of Priest-Kings, Nest mores, social customs; mechanical, agricultural, and husbanding procedures, and other types of information".	10
17	22	I knew there was no expression in the language of the Priest-Kings which was a satisfactory equivalent for the expression.	10
32	82	I could not even tell him how I felt about him, for his language did not contain the expression I needed.	10
33	64	Then he began to mumble prayers very quickly in archaic Gorean, a language in which the Initiates converse among themselves and conduct their various ceremonies.	10

6	183	It was as though he expected anyone to be able to understand his strange language, whether it was their native language or not.	10

7	346	I was taught the language as a child is taught, who has no language at his disposal.	10
3	36	I did not know the language.	10
6	193	It struck me then what was familiar about the language Targo spoke.	10
6	202	The language, though it struck my ear as strange, was not unpleasant.	10
6	208	On the other hand, I was encouraged because it seemed to me then that these individuals, if they spoke the same language, must possess the technological skills to return me to my native world.	10
6	436	But I was Elinor Brinton, of Park Avenue, of Earth! She had been rich, beautiful, smartly attired, tasteful, sophisticated; she had been well educated and traveled; she had been decisive, confident; she had carried her wealth and her beauty with élan; and she had deserved her position in society;...	10
7	241	I could not even speak her language.	10
7	344	They taught me Gorean for hours a day, and, of course, I heard nothing but this language.	10
7	347	Accordingly I learned the language directly and immediately, fluidly, not as an architecture of grammatical cases and a series of vocabulary lists, in which foreign terms stood matched with English terms.	10
7	349	Knowing no English themselves, they had no choice but to teach me a living language, in life, as practical and concrete as a tool, as expressive and beautiful as flowers and clouds.	10
7	362	There was a special reason, of course, why I was so eager to learn the language.	10
7	374	And Ute, too! Foolish, stupid little Ute, who could not even speak her own language correctly! What could that meaningless little thing, pretty as she was, ever be but a man's toy? She was a natural slave girl! She belonged in chains.	10
8	818	She even made mistakes in speaking her own language.	10

3	174	"Rape me!" And even though we did not know one another's language, there could have been no mistaking the nature of my needs, and the import of my petition.	10
3	192	They discussed some project, the nature of which I, of course, ignorant of the language, could not understand.	10
3	589	Only now, for the first time, now that I was branded, did they show any interest in teaching me their language.	10
3	591	I suspected that I must now, now that I had been branded, address myself with great diligence to the acquisition of their language.	10
4	313	It may well be that almost all Gorean expressions may be traced to one or another Earth language.	10

4	1200	Soon, I knew, when I learned more of the language, and could clearly, or more clearly, express myself, Eta would train me, as she could, in the giving of pleasures to masters.	10

25	99	Over forty percent of the language consists of the first five letters I mentioned, Eta, Tau, Al-Ka, Omnion and Nu".	10

9	181	There are few Goreans who cannot speak it, though with some it is almost a second language.	10
9	184	The Fairs, in their diverse ways, tend to standardize the language, which might otherwise disintegrate into regional variations which, over centuries, might become mutually unintelligible linguistic modalities, in effect and practice, unfortunately, separate languages.	10
9	206	This is independent, of course, of the sort of slave training which, in its sensuousness and femininity, becomes a part of a girl's very being, affecting her attitudes, movements, carriage, body language, and such.	10

23	203	I, personally, would have thought that English or Gorean would have been the most beautiful language in all the world.	10

24	140	If I had spoken Ushindi more fluently I could probably have made out their discourse, as Ayari did, for the Ukungu speech is a closely related language.	10

31	78	Too, she spoke in English, which language, native to her, she did not believe any in the hut could understand.	10
31	108	"I did not know such men could exist," she whispered again, again in English, which language she used to express her most intimate thoughts, again so softly that she might not awaken me.	10
31	124	She had uttered slave admissions, though so softly that she thought I could not hear, though in a language she thought I could not understand.	10
35	34	Kisu had asked that I have Janice and Alice help Tende with the language.	10

44	233	They spoke swiftly in a language I could not follow.	10
44	236	The language they spoke, however, was far removed from the speeches of Ushindi or Ukungu.	10

13	539	The slave learns the language of the owner, and learns it well.	10
13	543	I do not think this was simply because we feared to irritate or offend passing Goreans, who tend to view languages other than their own as barbarous, or because slaves are expected to use a speech intelligible to their masters, but because, for most practical purposes, Gorean had become our language...	10

1	333	In another way, Grunt's familiarity to the Kaiila, for he had visited them last year, and was close to Mahpiyasapa, Black Clouds, the civil chieftain of the Isbu, and his knowledge of their language, which closely resembles Dust Leg, garnered him a similar protection.	10
