Citazioni 

Phonetic changes are 'regular'. All but one[...] affect all examples of the sound in question or, if the phonetic change is conditional, all examples of the same sound that are analogously circumstanced.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.180

Phonetic changes may sometimes be unconsciously encouraged in order to keep intact the psychological spaces between words and word forms.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.186

The phonetic pattern of a language is not invariable, but it changes far less readily that the sounds that compose it. Every phonetic element that it possess it may change radically and yet the pattern remain unaffected.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.186
