Citazioni 

A polysynthetic language [...] is more than ordinary synthetic [...] Concepts which we should never dream of treating in a subordinate fashion are symbolized by derivational affixes or 'symbolic' changes in the radical element, while the more abstract notions, including the syntactic relations, may also be conveyed by the word.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.128
