Random question: Even though Hofstadter has been clearly influenced by W. V. O. Quine in many of his previous works (and coined the word quine to refer to a self-describing computer program), and even though Quine writes extensively on the subject of language and translation, Hofstadter does not cite Quine at all in Le Ton beau de Marot, which is chiefly concerned with translation. Does anyone know why he doesn't? —FOo 21:51, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I suppose his rambings didn't happen to veer that way. Chameleon 21:56, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)
