Citazioni 

Between the two extremes of voicelessness [...] lies the position of true voice. In this position the cords are close together, but not so tightly [...] ; the cords are set vibrating and a musical tone of varying pitch results. A tone so produced is known as a 'voiced sound'.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.48

Our vowels, nasals (such as 'm' and 'n' ), and such sounds as 'b', 'z', and 'l' are all voiced sounds.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.48

The voiced sounds are the most clearly audible. As such they are the carriers of practically all significant differences in stress, pitch, and syllabification.
- Sapir (1921), a pag.49
