| Citazioni | A 'reconstructed form', then, is a formula that tells us which identities and systematic correspondences of phonemes appear in a set of related languages; moreover, since these identities and correspondences reflect features that were already present in the parent language, the recostructed form is also a kind of phonemic diagram of the ancestral form. |
