Linguists tell us that language emerged on the heels of society's emergence and developed with the development of society. 翻译怎样？ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted August 13, 2014 at 09:49 AM Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 at 09:49 AM Think of it as 随…的产生 and 随…的发展 not 随社会. 翻译怎样？ The translation is ok, but not great because to me the repetition of those words makes the sentence sound clumsy. Maybe consider something like: Linguists tell us that language emerged and developed alongside society. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
