===Referenced=== The philosopher [[Étienne Bonnot de Condillac]] observed in 1782 that "every science requires a special language because every science has its own ideas". As a rationalist member of the [[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]], he continued: "It seems that one ought to begin by composing this language, but people begin by speaking and writing, and the language remains to be composed."<ref>Quoted by [[Fernand Braudel]], in discussing the origins of ''[[Capital (economics)|capital]]'', ''[[capitalism]]'', in ''The Wheels of Commerce'', vol. II of ''Civilization and Capitalism, 15th–18th Century'', 1979:234. Originally found in Condillac's work [http://www.efm.bris.ac.uk/het/Condillac/Commerce.html ''Le Commerce et le gouvernement considérés relativement l'un à l'autre'' (1776)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923234156/http://www.efm.bris.ac.uk/het/Condillac/Commerce.html |date=2015-09-23 }}.</ref>
