| Citazioni | The relational gaps between the sounds of a language are just as necessary to the psychological definition of these sounds as the articulations and acoustic images which are customarily used to define them. Each member of this system is [...] characterized by a distinctive and slightly variable articulation and a corresponding acoustic image [...] [...] a speech sound is not merely an articulation or an acoustic image, but material for symbolic expression in an appropriate linguistic context. |
