Citazioni 

[...] it took German at least three hundred years to catch up with a phonetic- morphological drift that had long been under way in English.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.173

[...] analogy not only regularizes irregularities [...] but introduces disturbances, generally in favor of greater simplicity or regularity, in a long established system of forms. These analogical adjustments are practically always symptoms of the general morphological drift of the language.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.189
