Citazioni 

The very simpliest element of speech [...] is the individual sound [...]
- Sapir (1921), a pag.24

[...] the sound is [...] the resultant of a series of independent [...] adjustements in the organs of speech.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.24

[...] the number of clearly distinguishable sounds that are habitually employed by the speakers of a language is far greater than they themselves recognize.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.43

There are, then, an indefinitely large number of articulated sounds available for the mechanics of speech; any given language makes use of an explicit, rigidly economical selection of these rich resources.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.46
