Citazioni 

The existence of fluctuations in forms means that certain structures are winning out over others, for alternative forms never stay in equilibrium for long.
- Nida (1949), a pag.3

The descriptive linguist does not attempt to take into account the tendencies and trends of a language, but when he records in his data that there are alternative forms and that these exhibit a certain relative frequency of occurrence, he is touching upon the dynamics of language change.
- Nida (1949), a pag.3
