Je pense avoir retrouvé (par hasard) l'occurrence recherchée. Je pense qu'il s'agit d'un extrait de l'introduction de Splintered Light: Logos and Language in Tolkien's World, de Verlyn Flieger, p. xxi :
Verlyn Flieger a écrit :
Saving the Beowulf poet, Barfiled's theory of the interdependence of myth and language is the primary influence on Tolkien's mythos. It is very much present in Tolkien's fictive assumption, the very foundation and basis of his invented world, that language creates the reality it describes and that myth and language work reciprocally on each other.
