| Citazioni | New words may be consciously created from [...] fundamental elements on the analogy of old ones, but hardly new types of words. In the same way new sentences are being constantly created, but always on strictly traditional lines. Analogy may not only refashion forms within the confines of a related cluster of forms (a ' paradigm ') but may extend its influence far beyond. [...] analogy [...] regularizes irregularities that have come in the wake of phonetic processes but introduces disturbances, generally in favor of greater simplicity or regularity, in a long established system of forms. |
