The meaning of a form is describable in terms of the situations in which it is used, i.e. in terms of its ethnolinguistic environment [...] fundamentally we are describing the meaning of a form in terms of its ethnolinguistic distribution. - Nida (1951), a pag.4 Every form has a meaning derived from its linguistic context, and some forms have meanings which are describable almost wholly in terms of this linguistic context. - Nida (1951), a pag.4 There is no meaning apart from form. - Nida (1951), a pag.8
