Citazioni

I am strongly inclined to believe that this supposed 'inner formlessness' of certain languages is an illusion. [...] We shall therefore not be able to use the notion of 'inner formlessness,' except in the greatly modified sense that syntactic relations may be fused with notions of another order.
