| Citazioni | [...] the functional relation between the proper 't' sound of such a word as 'matter' and its 'd' variant is quite other than the relation of the 't' of such a word as 'town' and the 'd' of 'down'. In every known language it is possible to distinguish merely phonetic variations [...] from symbolically functional ones of a phonemic order. |
