| Citazioni | The sentence [...] is the psychological counterpart of experience, of art, when it is felt, as indeed it normally is, as the finished play of word with word. [...] the major functional unit of speech, the sentence, has [...] a psychological as well as a merely logical or abstracted existence [...] It is the linguistic expression of a proposition. The sentence is the outgrowth of historical and of unreasoning psychological forces rather than of a logical synthesis of elements that have been clearly grasped in their individuality. |
