| Citazioni | Such features as accent, cadence, and the treatment of consonants and vowels within the body of a word are often useful as aids in the external demarcation of the word [...]. They [...] strengthen a feeling of unity that is already present on other grounds. Some languages, like Latin, express practically all relations by means of modifications within the body of the word itself. [...] most words, like practically all elements of consciousness, have an associated feeling-tone, a mild [...] derivative of pleasure or pain. This feeling-tone, however, is [...] a sentimental growth on the word's true body . |
