Citazioni

English [...] was flooded with French loan-words during the later Middle Ages [...] It was therefore changing rapidly [...]. The wonder, then, is [...] that, exposed as it was to remolding influences, it remained so true to its own type and historic drift.
- Sapir (1921), Pag. 203

[...] we have not the right to assume that a language may easily exert a remolding morphological influence on another.
- Sapir (1921), Pag. 204
