Citazioni 

The most popular earlier theories were the interjectional and onomatopoetic theories. The former derived speech from involuntary cries of an expressive nature [...] While it is true that [...] interjectional [...] elements are to be found in most languages, they are always relatively unimportant and tend to contrast somewhat with the more normal materials of language.
- Sapir (1933a), a pag.14
