"Everyone seems to be looking at us now......"

Rogers noticed something strange in the classroom, and instead of continuing to talk back to Alina, he slowly returned to his sitting position with a quiet face after quietly reminding the other party.

He straightened his back, opened the "Complete Explanation of the Basics of Magic" on the table in front of him, and looked at the podium with a focused expression, looking ready to listen carefully.

Alina brushed her forehead behind her ears and sat up in a proper position.

However, the complete silence of the two of them did not change the atmosphere of the classroom, but made the scene more silent.

If nothing else, there must be something wrong now.

Rogers thought so as he nudged the monocle he wore in his left eye, and quickly dialed up all of his memories as soon as he entered the mana.

The ability of monocles is to look back on memories in an all-round way, as long as you have seen and heard, even if you ignore the things at that time in your memory, the monocles can be presented again without leakage.

Within a moment, Rogers figured out why it was the way it was.

He stood up with his hands on the table, and first apologized slightly to Alana: "I'm very sorry, Professor Alana, I didn't hear your name clearly, and I just reacted at this time. ”

Alana could easily understand the power of the monocle, so she chuckled and said she wouldn't care.

But more students just felt that Rutgers dared to be so arrogant since he knew that he had been named.

What they didn't understand even more was why Professor Alana was able to remain gentle in the face of such an undisciplined guy and not deduct the credits of this arrogant person.

"To be honest, my knowledge of magic is still very shallow, and I don't have any feelings or understandings at all.

"On the contrary, there are many questions that bother me and I want to get answers from the professor."

As Rogers spoke next, the atmosphere became even more eerie.

More than ninety percent of the students in the classroom had gone to see the duel between Rogers and Caspar.

If Rogers had to call themselves shallow with the astonishing magical talents and abilities he had displayed at the time, then did they have any need to answer?

Hearing this, Alana nodded happily, the more people who know, the more they will feel shallow, which is a normal thing.

After receiving the professor's permission, Rogers continued to ask his own questions:

"For those of us magic apprentices, if we don't chant spells, we can't use magic smoothly, so how to use spells better will be the most basic and important knowledge we need to learn.

And there are two great magicians in "The Complete Understanding of the Basics of Magic" who have completely contradictory opinions on this.

"One thinks that it is necessary to be closer to the tone and pronunciation of the spell, to understand the essence of the spell, in order to master the magic perfectly.

Another argues that spells are only ancillary and that we need to focus on how to better understand the elements of the spell in order to be more satisfied.

In this regard, I can't help but have a question, in the knowledge system of magic, language or thinking, which is the first nature? Which one is the one we need to care about the most? ”

Alana was surprised to hear this, she rested her hand on the podium, tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and began to think seriously about the question.

Learning magic certainly requires a combination of an understanding of the occult language and a perception of the elements, after all, language is the bridge and thinking is the cornerstone.

Both of them are indispensable, but there are also many schools of magic that have had a lot of school disputes over which of the two is more important.

Moreover, the time that people have is destined to be limited, and only those who are gifted with feathers and phoenixes can study and promote these two directions of study at the same time, and for most people, intensive study is the right way.

But this question is something that only people who really embark on the path of magic will know and think about after they have a completely solid foundation of magic, and Alana didn't expect Rogus to care at this time.

"I know you don't want to hear me answer the question of whether the two are equally important, or whether it is Mr. Bird's egg, or whether the egg hatches first and so on.

"But I really can't say for sure which is primary.

"All I can say is that I think thinking determines language, language is the expression of thought, and occult language exists only to allow us to better communicate and condense the elements so that they can reach the form we visualize.

"So I'm more inclined to the school view of the second great magician."

Alanna's fingers tapping on the table paused, and she pondered her words, speaking slowly and clearly and forcefully.

However, when she saw the disappointment on Rogers' face, she felt a little nervous, as if she was the student who was questioned by her mentor.

Rogers pinched his eyebrows, he wanted to use "mother tongue negative transfer" to reply to the concept of Alana, but he felt that the other party might not be able to understand his meaning very well, so he planned to give an example around the "Sapir-Wolf hypothesis" and began to elaborate on it in a long paragraph:

"Professor Alana, allow me to present you with these hypothetical experiments first......

Alanna's eyes fixed on Rogus, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her expression becoming more solemn.

With each argument, Rutgers's ideas collapsed, and she even began to wonder if the path she had been studying for years was a misguided one.

"And what do you think about it? Any conclusions? Alana couldn't contain her emotions and couldn't help but open her lips.

"It's because I don't know what to think about it that I ask the professor." Rogers shrugged in response.

In his previous life, the debate about language and thinking in the academic world lasted for an unknown number of years, but it never yielded a decisive result, and he just wanted to know what the top scholars in the other world would think.

It's a pity that Alana's answer didn't satisfy him at all, and even felt a little boring.

"Although I don't have a conclusion, I have more or less come up with some related thoughts, such as the fact that we can directly establish a research discipline on language......"

Rogers then elaborated on the foundations of linguistics established by Saussure in the 19th century.

In this world, there is no shortage of studies on etymology, syntax, morphology, dialects, language changes, etc., but there has never been a system and a foundation system.

You must know that the study of language in the past life has become one of the most influential disciplines in the 20th century since the status of the handmaid in ancient times turned over and became the master of the establishment of "linguistics".

It has had an extremely important foundational impact on anthropology, sociology, psychology, artificial intelligence and other disciplines.

And Alana also felt very clearly how important this knowledge system was to the casting of spells.

When encountering unclear concepts, Yalana will ask for a few explanations from time to time, just like a classmate.

Time passed slowly in the constant question-and-answer and elaboration between the two, and the students in the classroom had no idea what Rogers was rambling about that could make Professor Alana pay so much attention.

They went from initial confusion, to surprise, to thinking, and finally to helplessness to be confused.

It wasn't until the end of class that Professor Alana told them that they could move around as they pleased, and they immediately disappeared in a hurry, not knowing what they were going to do.
