Citazioni 

[...] we describe sound change as a gradual change in habits of articulation and hearing, taking place constantly, but so slowly that no single individual would ever be aware that he might be passing on a manner of pronunciation different from that which he acquired as a child.
- Hockett (1958), a pag.439

‘Sound change’ is a gradual change of habits of articulation and hearing, which we have good reason to believe takes place constantly in every human community.
