| Citazioni | [...] it is not enough to pattern off all speech sounds as such against other sounds produced by the 'organs of speech'. There is a second phase of sound patterning which is more elusive and of correspondingly greater significance for the linguist. This is the inner configuration of the sound system of a language, the intuitive 'placing' of the sounds with reference to one another. |
