Citazioni

The major characteristics of style, in so far as style is a technical matter of the building and placing of words, are given by the language itself [...] as the general acoustic effect of verse is given by the sounds and natural accents of the language.
- Sapir (1921), Pag. 226

- Sapir (1921), Pag. 227
