Citazioni 

[...] every language is a form language. Aside from the expression of pure relation a language may, of course, be 'formless' [...] that is, in the mechanical and rather superficial sense that it is not encumbered by the use of non-radical elements.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.125

[...] we cannot now make the distinction between form languages and formless languages [...]. Every language can and must express the fundamental syntactic relations even though there is not a single affix to be found in its vocabulary. We conclude that every language is a form language.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.125
