| Citazioni | The phonemes of a language are [...] distinct systems peculiar to the given language [...] [...] phonemes are built into distinct and arbitrary sequences which are at once recognized by speakers as meaningful symbols of reference. [...] while the mechanical functional units of language are phonemes, the true units of language as symbolism are conventional groupings of such phonemes. |
