Citazioni 

[...] it was difficult or impossible to teach an Indian to make phonetic distinctions that did not correspond to 'points in the pattern of his language,' however these differences might strike our objective ear, but as[...] subtle, barely audible, phonetic differences, if only they hit the 'points in the pattern,' were easily and voluntarily expressed in writing.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.56
