Citazioni 

[...] I adopt Hockett's general principal that zero must not constitute the only allomorph of a morpheme [...]
- Nida (1948), a pag.427

[...] overt formal differences have at least equal status with zero.
- Nida (1948), a pag.427

If one wishes to describe the form-meaning relationship between 'sing' and 'song' as pertinent to the language (they certainly exibit partial phonetic-semantic resemblance), the structurally significant feature is the replacement of the vowel, not the addition of zero [derivative suffix].
- Nida (1948), a pag.427-428
