| Citazioni | Were the symbol 'house' [...] attached but to the single image of a particular house once seen, it might perhaps [...] be termed an element of speech, yet it is obvious [...] that speech so constituted would have little or no value for purposes of communication. [...] the individual sound is not [...] an element of speech at all, for speech is a significant function and the sound as such has no significance. |
