Citazioni 

'Phonetic laws' make up a large and fundamental share of the subject-matter of linguistics [...] A drift that begins as a slight phonetic readjustment or unsettlement may in the course off millennia bring about the most profound structural changes.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.173

[...] phonetic laws do not work with spontaneous automatism [...] they are simply a formula for a consummated drift that sets in a psychologically exposed point and gradually worms its way through a gamut of phonetically analogous forms.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.178

[...] a simple phonetic law, meaningless in itself, may eventually color or transform large reaches of the morphology of a language.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.191
