Citazioni 

[...] sound-imitative words [...] are in no sense natural sounds that man has instinctively or automatically reproduced. They are [...] creations of the human mind, flights of the human fancy, as anything else in language. They do not directly grow out of nature, they are suggested by it and play with it.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.7
