Citazioni

When adaptation is completed, [...] the foreign origin of the form has disappeared, and neither the speaker nor, consequently, a relevant description can distinguish it from the native forms. The historian, however, who is concerned with origins, will class it as a 'loan-form'.
- Bloomfield (1935), Pag. 499
